Commissioner Martin Beck and his eccentric partner Gunvald Larsson investigate murders in Stockholm, center of criminality in Eastern Europe.
Beck offers up understated excellence in the form of a Swedish crime drama.
There are several seasons of Beck. I have been fortunate enough to watch two and four, with English subtitles. Unlike many US shows, the Swedish approach to crime drama is modest and down to earth. For me, this approach makes the characters and story, far more accessible and believable.
The crime stories Beck and his team investigate are in many ways familiar. This obstacle is overcome by quality narrative and fleshed out characterizations, that really lift this series above the ordinary. A good cast of well known Swedish actors, does this series no harm either.
In short Beck is a a worthwhile watch, I can happily recommend. Nine out of ten from me.
