Fartblinda (2019)
Exciting Swedish thriller series set in finance world
If you're into trading and finance, police series, thrillers, investigative journalism and bad guys, this is a series for you. Economics reporter Bea pulls strings as she unravels a major bank scandal, while at the same time getting involved with the head bad guy. It can be hard to understand some of her choices but then again, that's also partly what makes it interesting; that even the heroine's moral compass gets confused at times. The series is set in Sweden's finance world and is partially based on a true story and research by Caroline Neurath who has not only won prizes for her investigate journalists within finance, but also written several thrillers since.

Broody, beautiful and interesting
I thought this movie was fabulous. It has that Berganesque pace where we get to follow the characters' existence at a country-side gathering, as they ponder life from their privileged hipster middle class perspective, causing both comedy and later, drama. It all starts to crumble when the new girlfriend Linda shows up, challenging their intellectual carefully curated self-images with her, to them, pop culture vulgarity. Gradually revealing all of them for whom they truly are, Yohanna Idha portrays Linda with a wonderful sense of humour and honesty, as well as heart-breaking vulnerability.
