‘Every single Scandinavian crime drama’ is very funny and so true

You don’t have to have watched a Scandinavian crime drama … actually, you probably do have to have watched a Scandinavian crime drama to enjoy this brilliant video by comedian Alasdair Beckett-King.

It went wildly viral because it’s very funny, brilliantly done, and so, so true.

Fabulous.

As a a great fan of our crime drama (I'm Swedish): this is entirely accurate 😍

Needs another 57 videos where it's revealed that he wasn't the killer after all, but then eventually that he was and our initial suspicions were correct

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Great take. Always love how the super stressed, on-the-edge alcoholic detective goes home at night in bits. Yet still has the time & energy to go round putting on all the lamps & mood lighting to add a dramatic air to the home scene! #nordicnoir

You left out the part where they take a dog sled through driving snow to get to the coroner's office, but when they pull back the sheet to examine the corpse they discover the body is entirely comprised of lingonberry jam.

Don't forget the part where the murders are either done in some old ritualistic manner or are connected to something that happened many years ago that no one talks about

This is clearly not a real Scandi drama, it's far too upbeat and fast-moving.

And if you think @MisterABK looks familiar, then you might be thinking of this from a little while back, another video which also went viral …
