Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Based on the 2017 Nordea money laundering scandal that rocked Nordic banking—Neurath's reporting made her a pariah in Stockholm's financial circles.

Insight

Jens Jonsson deliberately cast Varela against type; his 'soft' masculinity makes Peder's violence more insidious than typical CEO villains. The helicopter scene in episode 5 was improvised.
