What’s this? A North American Nordic noir...
Here’s a new Nordic noir, but with a difference. It’s based on a series of books by Swedish author Leif G. W. Persson, but is set in Oregon and filmed in Canada. Rainn Wilson stars as Everett Backstrom, a self-destructive and largely offensive police officer who, alongside the rest of his eccentric colleagues in the Special Crimes Unit, sets out to solve complex cases.
