Am a huge fan of crime/mystery novels and film/TV, and especially the Swedish/Norwegian/Danish crime solvers like Kurt Wallender, Martin Beck, and Harry Hole! Highly recommend the Swedish TV productions of these series...Cynthia C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986100572786571150.post-34947452233936297862012-05-26T17:37:22.612+01:002012-05-26T17:37:22.612+01:00I have this backed up on the Sky box.

Old series, but very good. It's about a legal firm, but it's not... It's mostly about friendship and many other things.
