Watchseries; I just finished reading the book 3 days ago and I was anxious to see the series (pun intended). The trailer was a bit of a turn-off since it marketed the series as a crazy comedy which it really isn't. If something, it's a study of human souls. So minus 1 point already.
How did I rate it? There were some things in the book that didn' t make it to the series, minus 1 point. On the other hand, there were some things that weren't in the book but the writers probably thought it was a good idea to create them for no reason. Minus 1 point. Don't wanna sound superficial but the younger cop looking like a hamster really didn't help. Minus 1 point. I really enjoyed the older, experienced actors who portrayed Anna-Lena and Jim. Plus 1 point. And that is how I came to 7/10. Read the book!

Anxious People watchseries. Gripping plots. Great acting. A very moving story. A bit funny at the beginning too. Don't skip it just because it's not in English. I binged it in one setting. It's not that long so it's great for binging.
I found this series to be a lighthearted look at the complexities of simply being human. Each character has a life issue that ultimately causes change in the life of another. Well done.
I'd describe the book, Anxious People, by Backman as a confused but heartfelt story about a group absurd but likable people. This adaptation by Felix Herngren however is merely a confused story about absurd people. But there's nothing heartfelt or likable about it, making it a pretty dull tv-experience.
The series starts as the typical mystery comedy, but evolves to a story with a deeper meaning where you have to question what is right or wrong under specific circumstances and what i means to be humane.
The acting is great with a cast of Swedish stars where Alfred Svensson does a remarkable performance, planting him as a really good actor far from the role as "Billy" in "Leif & Billy".
A true gem of a mini-series!
Fairly predictable "mystery" drama that explores timeless themes in modern times, such as family, motherhood, guilt, justice and forgiveness. There's some comedy in the beginning, but I found that dropped off as they explained the story that unfolded behind the scenes in the hostage apartment of the first episode.
I watched the English-dubbed version of this Swedish 6-part miniseries, and I thought it was very good.
