Does with True Detective that the early Scandinavian Noir did with American crime novels, by taking an established formula and using it to explore the cracks in the Swedish welfare system. While blatantly obvious (in one scene the Confederate flag and the flag of Scania literally hang next to each other) and done before, it works. The transitional period of the Bildt government and the entry of new public management is a great backdrop for a story about police incompetence.
