The Fat and the Angry is a riveting Swedish mini-series that debuted in 2014 on MHz Choice. This engrossing crime drama pivots around the themes of corruption, crime, deceit, and the eternal battle between good and evil, ensuring viewers are gripped from beginning to end.
The series sets in Gothenburg, Sweden, and begins with an intriguing premise. A massive explosive goes off in a harbor with an ostensible target being a container loaded with currency. The complex plot unravels around this genesis event, leading viewers into a labyrinth of criminal networks, covert operations, international intrigue, and high-level cover-ups that reveal the thin line between the law's custodians and lawbreakers.
Interestingly, the series title, The Fat and the Angry, does not correlate with the traditional good-versus-evil narrative or trendy slender detectives and violent offenders. The 'Fat' and the 'Angry' plays a symbolic representation of the corruption deeply ingrained into society's fabric and the global economic system's relentless greed.
What sets The Fat and the Angry apart is its uniquely captivating story that brings to light a real-life crime equivalent to one of the biggest heists in history: The theft of the Bank of England's high grade unprinted banknotes. The show doesn't merely recreate or dramatize the crime, but strives to delve into the human elements intertwined with the act and its consequences.
The series is marked by brilliant performances from the lead actors. Rolf Lassg
