Goofs

F21 in Lulea didn't have any Viggen (AJ37, JA37, J37 or A37) until 1979. At 1972 they still used the airplane Draken (J35). Second, the plane that gets blown up in the beginning of the film is a SK37 Viggen, its a double seated airplane for educational use. They have tried to mask it as an ordinary Viggen, but failed. There is a bump after the flight deck that is not on combat models

User Reviews

Underrated, I think.

I really enjoyed this series. Luckily, I didn't check out the ratings on IMDb, or I might never have tried it. Well-written, well-acted, and well-directed. I have seen the first six episodes (which seem to be listed separately here). Some are better than others, but all were worth watching.

Malin Crepin is a treat to watch, as Annika. The continuing story of her marriage and motherhood make Annika a much fuller character than "reporter." Like the best of series, there is both an episode resolution and continuing character development.

If you like Scandinavian TV series like "The Protectors," you'll probably like "Annika Bengtzon."

Check it out if you like well-done mysteries. I hope there are more of these shows to come.
