Hard-coded Swedish subtitles in the trailer, but the audio is in English.

This series came out at the end of last year—an 8-part TV show with a total runtime of 7 hours, directed by Bille August. I prefer it over the French 3 hour movie. The cast is great, and the longer runtime allows for better character development and a more detailed story. The French movie, due to its shorter runtime, has a faster pace, which some might prefer. However, to me, it feels more rushed, while the TV series takes its time to flesh out the story. But if you want more action and less intrigue, the French movie is probably more up your alley

Already out on torrents.
