The New Force

2025, Show

The year is 1958, and Sweden's first female police officers graduate; a small group of pioneers taking a big step for gender equality but struggling to take even the smallest step themselves, as the skirts they're forced to wear chafe like sandpaper against their thighs. They are ridiculed by the public, belittled by the media, and scorned by their colleagues. The new recruits are placed in the country's most crime-ridden district; the Klara police district in Stockholm, and as they start patrolling the streets of Stockholm, they soon realize that their biggest problem isn't the criminals; instead, the resistance comes from colleagues and their own families.

Nja...lite överdriven och på gränsen till tramsig ibland. Musiken är värd en stjärna. Råkade man få musiken till en modern ortenserie istället för tidsenlig musik som passar ihop med tidsepoken och miljöerna.
