I first met Rebecka Martinsson in the Asa Larsson books - SUN STORM, THE BLOOD SPILT, etc. and loved the 5-book series. The TV series, Rebecka Martinsson, seems to be loosely based on Larsson's books. While not as compelling as the books, I still enjoyed the TV series. The acting was great, the setting (Kiruna, Sweden) was cold and foreboding, adding to the darkness of the plots. Rebecka is a complicated character with a painful past. She teams up with Inspector Anna-Maria Mella (another character who seems more interesting in the books than the TV version) to investigate the crimes.
I would love to see a Series 2 but Larsson has only written 5 Martinsson books thus far, so I am not sure what the future holds for the TV series.
For those who want more Rebecka, the movie "Solstorm" (based on the first book SUN STORM) was released in 2007 in Sweden but I am not sure if this is readily available for viewing.
I would recommend you read the Larsson books if you enjoyed the TV series.

A MASTERPIECE OF A FEMALE JACK TAYLOR. LOVED IT 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!
Jack Taylor is the story of an ex-cop of the Irish Guard who has a weekly detective episode through his unshaven, disheveled clothing covered up by a long wool trench coat that he refuses to return to "the guard". A lovable, honest, flawed main character. Rebecca (forgive my spelling) is a city lawyer who finds her hometown roots when forced to solve a local murder. But she is a Swedish Jack Taylor! I know, I know, how can a beautiful actress portray a flawed chainsmoking Jack Taylor (she starts smoking). She does. SHE DOES BIG TIME. An absolute tour de force! Draws you in, grinds you up and spits you out. I loved it. I loved both Jack Taylor and Rebecka Martinsson. Absolutely tv serial drama at its finest. Characters with punch, flaws pouring out and high crimes to be solved. A MASTERPIECE. BUY IT. BUY IT NOW! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
