Swedish Dicks

I really, really, really love this show. Keanu is of course a bonus here and you can take that as a good sign that this is worth your time. I was a little undecided on Axel at first but found myself really warming to him. Stormare just does Stormare and it's perfect. Vivian Bang is hot and hilarious.

I highly recommend you give this show a chance. Season 2 is an improvement on season 1 and I sincerely hope they get to continue to make this show despite the fact it has largely flown under the popular TV radar, like many shows such as Last Man On Earth, Vice Principals and I'm Dying Up Here.

Swedish Dicks is a Noir Private-eye, with the usual trimmings of dingy office, dysfunctional characters and anti-hero protagonist.

The show is never demanding, and has an easy gentle humour that will grow on you.

It's best watched after dark, say mid-week when there nothing else in the TV schedule, or late on a Friday after you return home from an evening out.

Ingmar (Peter Stormare) is a Swedish Dick. He's an L. A. private detective from Sweden who is obsessed with the death of his former partner Tex (Keanu Reeves). His aggressive lawyer daughter Sarah (Felisha Cooper) is super hot. Sun (Vivian Bang) is the North Korean janitor in his building. Axel (Johan Glans) is a struggling Swedish DJ who gets involved with Ingmar and becomes his private dick partner. Jane McKinney (Traci Lords) is a rival private dick. In the second season, Eve (Stephanie Koenig) becomes Axel's girlfriend.

This is a fun little Swedish-American comedy show. I don't know they got Keanu Reeves to do a support role in between his John Wick movies. Stormare is great as always. The comedic standout has to be Vivian Bang and her deadpan delivery. I don't think that I've seen her in anything else. She has a great delivery here. This is good quirkiness.

I know this is good, not sure if it's fantastic, and I'm not going to even try to over think it, because I'm not sure your supposed to. Had sort of glimmers of the genius of 'My name is Earl'!! All I can say is that I've just binge watched series one, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment!

Sometime I just need a show to clean the pallet of my day, if that makes sense. And this show does it for me. It's just a fun, quirky cop show. Keanu Reeves pops up randomly in sort of a parody of John Wick, or any tough guy role, etc. The characters are adorable weirdos and it's nice to watch after a long day. This is definitely a hidden gem. I hope they keep making more!
