Easy Living is a Finnish television drama that originated from the country's northern region in 2009. Conceptualized as a gritty crime drama, it presents a riveting narrative focusing on a family immersed in a life of crime and how their actions affect their relationships, aspirations, and personal moralities. The show intricately meshes the turbulence of crime-ridden life with everyday human emotions and familial bonds, presenting a captivating and multi-layered narrative.

The show revolves around the intriguing life of Tapio Mikkonen, a charismatic yet morally complex character, thoughtfully portrayed by the Finnish actor, Carl-Kristian Rundman. Tapio serves as the patriarch of a family immersed in the criminal world. The central plot chronicles Tapio's struggles with his dual life as both a family man and a key figure in the criminal underworld, which he tries to protect his family from. His inescapable involvement in crime and its effect on his family forms the heart of the drama.

Moreover, Easy Living offers an unflinching depiction of the larger network of organized crime in Finland, lightly threading on the issues of domestic and international criminal activities. It provides a detailed perspective on the nuances of such illicit operations without glorifying or romanticizing them. This realistic portrayal of crime, coupled with a strong emphasis on the human element, sets the series apart from typical crime dramas.

What makes Easy Living gripping is not just its thrilling plot twists but also the intense emotions and strong conflicts that define the characters. A significant aspect of the show lies in its exploration of complicated family dynamics and personal relationships. This exploration has enabled writers to weave interpersonal dramas seamlessly within the broader crime narrative, thus offering deeper insights into each character's psyche.
