‘Black Crab’ Scribe Pelle Rådström Talks ‘Pressure Point,’ How ‘The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions’
The buzzy Swedish series, with ‘The Chestnut Man’s' David Dencik, is up for the Nordic Script Series Award, the Nordics’ top TV screenwriters’ kudo.
The three-part SVT series toplining David Dencik (“No Time to Die,” “The Chestnut Man”), Maria Sid (“All the Sins”), Martin Nick Alexandersson, Einar-Hugo Strömberg and Linus Gustafsson, is helmed by double Berlin Crystal Bear winner Sanna Lenken. Famed for the Netflix thriller “Black Crab,” Rådström goes back in his series to true events that shook Sweden 26 years ago, when its legendary playwright Lars Norén and his producer Isa Stenberg staged the controversial play “7:3” in which the main characters were three long-term convicts, including two neo-Nazis. But one of the convicts used the slack security measures during rehearsals to plan a bank robbery, which ended up in the murder of two police officers, known as the infamous Malexander shootings of 1999.The tense and thought-provoking series, filmed by Lenken with a semi-documentary style, collected rave reviews in the Swedish press when it first aired on SVT last April.
