KEY POINTS
- Sweden is often viewed as a liberal utopia in Europe, known for its stable economy, high quality of life, and open and progressive society.
- But its center-right coalition government — which is propped up by the nationalist and right-wing Sweden Democrats party — has adopted an increasingly restrictive stance on immigration.
- The country is trumpeting its lower numbers of immigrants, but economists say the economic benefits are debatable, with growth and productivity among the factors to consider.
Some of them anyway. I really liked the Kenneth Brannagh Wallander series. The original books are good too. There’s a Swedish TV version, but I’ve never seen it.
I did watch most of Wallander and a number of the Nordic Noir shows, but they got depressing and killed off my favorite people :p
