"Anxious People" recently new limited series on Netflix.
Swedish limited series with 6 episodes running from 23 to 34 minutes for a total of 171 minutes, so a little less than 3 hours.
Easy to follow, a little quirky, good cast, interesting story with surprise ending.
Enjoyed watching the whole thing last night. Was sorry when it was over.
Can watch in Swedish, British English and CC.

Based on the novel by Fredrik Backman, Anxious People sets itself up as a mystery involving a father-son cop team, an inept bank robber and the disparate group of people he takes hostage.

(12,877 posts)It seems kind of goofy from the start but I was drawn in quickly. It's a story about ordinary people struggling through their ordinary lives and has a strong message about human decency. The direction is sophisticated without being showy and after a while I noted that a lot of the scenes are framed very creatively or make careful use of shifted focus. It's extremely well done.
