Production

[edit]

Production on the series began in early 2023 in Stockholm.[4] Ahead of the series' premiere in 2024, author Malin Persson Giolito announced that she had removed her name from the production credits due to disagreements with screenwriter Alex Haridi.[5]

The series' trailer was released on 18 March 2024.[6]

Reception

[edit]

Oskar Gustavsson Klingenstierna of Filmtopp gave the series three out of five stars, calling it "scary and impactful," but questioning whether five episodes was necessary given its slow pace.[7] Jonatan Blomberg of MovieZine also gave the series three out of five stars, but wished that it had more episodes to give more time to develop certain characters and backstories.[8] Karolina Fjellborg of Aftonbladet gave the series three out of five stars, calling it "wistful, heavy and well played," but noting that the series could have used more backstory about Dogge's family and downward spiral. She wrote, "It is by no means bad, but it is obvious that a couple of links in the story are missing."[9]
