I'm a huge fan of Fredrik Backman and this Netflix series is an excellent adaption of his book "Anxious People". The Netflix series develops the story characters very slowly and methodically in six 30-minute episodes.
I think this is one of the few cases where the film version has captured the book almost perfectly. Backman is a master story teller and the film is pretty much how I imagined the characters when I read the book.
This is not an action packed crime drama so you may be disappointed if that is what you were expecting. Despite the crime backstory, it is actually a very quite story about a group of random people brought together in a very unusual situation that end up bonding together in the most unusual way possible.
The film and book have a surprisingly philosophical message that is very positive and encouraging. I recommend you pay close attention to the dialogue near the end between the elderly woman and the police officer when she says, "When you get a chance to save someone, you take it."
