Synopsis
The Dying Detective (Den döende detektiven, 2018) is a Swedish six-part crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Rolf Lassgård plays Lars-Martin Johansson, Sweden's most decorated detective, now in a hospital bed after a stroke, right arm paralyzed.
From that bed, Johansson starts working a 1985 Stockholm case: a nine-year-old girl was killed and the killer was never caught. The statute of limitations has run out. No one in the system can act. He investigates by phone, through a small network of contacts, from under a hospital blanket — and the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to answer what he actually plans to do with the name when he finds it.
Based on the novel by Leif GW Persson, directed by Kristian Petri. The slow, confined pace mirrors the investigation itself — everything filtered through one sick man's determination. Stream The Dying Detective online on iFILM.
