Bäckström (Seasons 1–3)

Bäckström (2020) is a Swedish crime series you can watch online on iFILM. Detective Evert Bäckström is certain: a woman's skull found on a remote island means murder. His superiors disagree. Then the woman's identity comes to light and the whole investigation flips.

Kjell Bergqvist plays Bäckström — a character from Swedish crime novelist Leif GW Persson's book series. In Persson's novels, Bäckström is notorious for offending everyone he works with and somehow being the only one in the room who reads the case correctly. The series carries that quality. Dry Scandinavian noir, low on spectacle, with a detective who is genuinely hard to like and genuinely hard to stop watching. Stream Bäckström online on iFILM.
