Sebastion Bergman (Swedish tv)

Yet another Swedish crime orientated mini series to hit BBC4 on a Saturday night. Just a two parter each of ninety minute duration starring Rolf Lassgård (of the original Wallander series) who is a bit of a wreck of a character with a distinct predication for sex.
Using hand held cameras and natural sets (school hall for the crime team in first episode, 70s office for the second) you get a distinct 'real' feel to it.
All very enjoyable but my main complaint is the use of coincidence, not once, but twice, where the main character is central to what is going on and is in fact the cause of it (The Bridge is similar)
So 7/10
