Review of Sthlm Requiem

This series has several issues and the overall impression is sloppy and shallow with an unnecessary political left wing agenda in the plot. If you believe in coincidence instead please look up Jörgen Hjerdt and familiarize yourself with his work in for example "Blå ögon" (Blue eyes) the SVT drama production... I do not believe in coincidence myself so when I see the pattern that immigrants are systematically put in either the hero or victim category and the other way around... then I am afraid that is a plot with a political agenda for me. To be perfectly clear I am opposed a plot with a political agenda from either side, I do not want a thriller series that tries to teach me anything about what political ideals are the best. In this one (as in the storywriters other bodies of work) it is downright silly as to how hard he is trying to use the plot to drive the left wing agenda home. In one episode the fiction borrows a little from reality when a charity worker (Johanna) exploits afghan refugees to commit crimes. The difference being that in this series the afghan refugee is an honest and noble man doing the robberies he is force to by the (evil) swedish woman to care for his wife and children left without a possibility to get asylum... Well the real life case they used as inspiration was a little bit different... (What?) ... still there was a person named Johanna working at the swedish social services (then started her own company in the same field) that used an afghan refugee to try and murder her parents for money...but they had a love/sex relation and went on expensive trips abroad together. Little bit less noble and honest no? Well that was just a little bit of delving into details to show the political agenda of this one, to me its crystal clear and it is rubbish. Please don´t try to teach me immigrants are either good or bad for this county, or that they are always victims OR always perpetrators... We should get rid of this kind of propaganda and brainwash. Aside from that the acting performances are very mixed, some are undeniably good (Jonas Karlsson, Liv Mjönes) others are so bad they are cringeworthy (bad guy "Johanna"). Overall the story seems dull and shallow, the difference to lets say "Det som göms i snö" is extreme. Steer clear of this political dullfest.
