Complètement à cran

"Cozy Mystery" (a subgenre name that I didn't know existed) is a wholesome story of a bank robbery gone wrong after which, the robber is locked in an apartment along with its potential buyers in an open house.

6 eps, about 25-30 mins each - quick watch! Great storytelling/writing, great acting, well shot and put together.

This turns from comedy to mystery to feel good real quick. Different & refreshing in this genre.

Would recommend if you're looking for something fun, lighthearted but intriguing at the same time, check this out.

I almost stopped watching after the first episode, but glad I didn't. I ended up bingeing the whole thing in one sitting. It's a touching and heartwarming crime mystery set in a small(?) town of Sweden. The episodes reveal the stories of all the hostages in a well paced and well played manner. However, it's not a comedy even thought Netflix claimes it is, which was also part of the reason I almost stopped watching, cause I had the wrong expectations. It is somewhat quirky, and it's well worth the watch.

Swedish series on netflix. When a bank robbery goes wrong, the thief takes people hostage at an open house nearby. And the local police force is father and son leif and jack. When they finally get in the apartment, something is not right.... what really happened here?? The father wants to just close up the case, since no money was taken at the bank, but the son is persistent. It's fun, watching everyone scramble to figure out what the heck happened. The captions are well done, in voice tone and in translation. Directed by felix herngren. Based on the book by fredrik backman.

I loved the book as I was really looking forward to the seires. While it was a nice mini-show, the book is way superior. The book is well-written, witty, and funny. I like the characters better in the book as well. Very strange casting as well.

Long story short, read the book first.

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.
