As the title suggests this Swedish TV show bear similarities with the Godfather. Although it can never be meassured against an epic film like the Godfather, this is what a Swedish Godfather story would look like, and considering that, the director has suceeded. It's a story that revolves around the Christian Syrian diaspora in the city of Södertälje, a medium sized town just southwest of Stockholm. What makes the series great is that it is very close to reality. There is a large Christian Syrian diaspora in this town, there are clan-based crime syndicates and some of the events, such as the machine gun attack on the police office, have happened in reality. The plot also feels very real as well as the characters. It is suspenseful without being overdramatic. I really enjoyed watching this series, meaning I didn't look at my phone a single second. In the end of the day, that's what matters.
