Swedish Dicks

Ingmar (Peter Stormare) is a Swedish Dick. He's an L. A. private detective from Sweden who is obsessed with the death of his former partner Tex (Keanu Reeves). His aggressive lawyer daughter Sarah (Felisha Cooper) is super hot. Sun (Vivian Bang) is the North Korean janitor in his building. Axel (Johan Glans) is a struggling Swedish DJ who gets involved with Ingmar and becomes his private dick partner. Jane McKinney (Traci Lords) is a rival private dick. In the second season, Eve (Stephanie Koenig) becomes Axel's girlfriend.

This is a fun little Swedish-American comedy show. I don't know they got Keanu Reeves to do a support role in between his John Wick movies. Stormare is great as always. The comedic standout has to be Vivian Bang and her deadpan delivery. I don't think that I've seen her in anything else. She has a great delivery here. This is good quirkiness.

The more I watch Swedish Dicks the more I am liking it. The Keanu Reeves character plays a minor role which is perfect for the show.

The real essence of Swedish Dicks is not what you see, but what you realise the third or fourth time watching it, a lot of clever sillyness that is not directly observed may be missed on the first time watching. I think the main attracting point is the casting. Everyone is perfectly casted for their role and this unsuspectingly drags you into missing the show every week. Very clever original comedy that definitely does grow on you with every episode.

Swedish Dicks is a Noir Private-eye, with the usual trimmings of dingy office, dysfunctional characters and anti-hero protagonist.

The show is never demanding, and has an easy gentle humour that will grow on you.

It's best watched after dark, say mid-week when there nothing else in the TV schedule, or late on a Friday after you return home from an evening out.

Funny and easy to watch. Nice, light comedy format. I enjoyed watching it.

Sometime I just need a show to clean the pallet of my day, if that makes sense. And this show does it for me. It's just a fun, quirky cop show. Keanu Reeves pops up randomly in sort of a parody of John Wick, or any tough guy role, etc. The characters are adorable weirdos and it's nice to watch after a long day. This is definitely a hidden gem. I hope they keep making more!
