Vargasommar Cry Wolf

Cry Wolf follows the crime investigations undertaken by Hannah Wester, a middle-aged policewoman in the Swedish remote northern town of Haparanda, on the border with Finland. When human remains are found in the stomach of a dead wolf, Wester knows that this summer will be unlike any other. The remains are soon linked to a bloody drug deal across the border in Finland. But how did the victim end up in the forest outside of Haparanda? And where have the drugs and the money gone?

Reviews

“This Christmas’ best Swedish crime drama is based on a novel by Hans Rosenfeldt. Cry Wolf is a bit like a Swedish version of (the TV series) Fargo, but more resolute. /…/ A series that breathes quality in every detail, from the thoughtful soundtrack to the beautiful cinematography and the talented actors. If you’re going to watch one drama series this Christmas: choose this one.”

SvD, Sweden
“The new series from the creators of Snabba Cash [Oskar Söderlund and Jesper Ganslandt] is world-class. /…/ Cry Wolf oozes with Coen Brothers-vibes and is wonderfully stylistic. /…/ Cry Wolf is a heavy and high-quality production with exquisite direction and a cinematography that triumphs most other projects from the Swedish TV scene. /…/ A most welcome breath of fresh air, and yet another feather in the cap for screenwriter Söderlund and director Ganslandt who may very well be the best creative duo we have had in many years.”
