Bäckström, Season 2 | All episodes

Master detective Evert Bäckström (Kjell Bergqvist) is in peak form. He is still making tabloid headlines with his ability to solve murders quickly and efficiently - and arrogantly. But when his rival, celebrity lawyer Tomas Eriksson, is murdered, it proves difficult not to let emotions interfere in the investigation. The evidence points in multiple directions, and before long, more dead bodies are found. The motive connecting the murders seems to be an old music box from Russia depicting the storybook character Pinocchio, worth 300 million kronor. Lies abound and it doesn't take long before Bäckström himself starts to hide things from his colleagues in the police department. He wants to solve the crime and claim Pinocchio for himself. His friend, art expert G Gurra, is going to help him get it. But everything becomes complicated when Ankan seriously begins to question Bäckström's leadership - and honesty. Finally, Bäckström's greed puts him in real danger. Foreign language, Swedish, w/English subtitles (6 EPS, 2022)
