Swedish dramas hit SBS on Demand this Thursday.

Season Two of Spring Tide begins (S1 will also be made available again) while thriller Partisan begins.

Spring Tide 

All ten episodes available to stream. In Swedish with English subtitles.

Olivia Rönning (Julia Ragnarsson) and Abbas el Fassi (Dar Salim) are affected by two different murders in two different cities, Marseille and Stockholm. They are each pulled into their respective cases, which are connected somehow. Customs agent Bengt Sahlman is found hanging dead in his home by his 17-year-old daughter Sandra. Olivia, just home from a long trip, passes Sahlman’s home as Sandra comes running out of the house in panic. This becomes the prelude to Olivia’s involvement in young Sandra’s fate, which resembles Olivia’s own: both of her parents are now dead. It is soon determined that the suicide was a murder, and the case lands on Mette Olsätter’s desk. A blind woman is found brutally stabbed to death in Marseille. When Abbas sees a picture of the murdered woman, Samira, in a French newspaper, he recognises the love of his life. Abbas decides to go to Marseille to find out what happened to her. He asks Tom Stilton, who has contacts in the Marseille police, to accompany him. Olivia, Tom, Abbas and Mette do everything in their power to solve the two cases, and despite their previous differences, Stilton and Olivia find themselves back together and start working together. Again.

Partisan

All five episodes available to stream. In Swedish with English subtitles.

Partisan takes place in the idyllic surroundings of Jordnära, a gated community that runs a very successful organic farm that distributes vegetables. The story starts off with Johnny (Fares Fares, Chernobyl) entering Jordnära with the assignment of being their new truck driver at the farm. Johnny gets to know Nicole and Maria, who are spending their summer in the gated community as foster kids. Johnny soon starts to suspect trafficking. The more Johnny’s concern for the girls grows, the more focus they take from his main mission. Who is Johnny and what is his true agenda?

Thursday March 25 on SBS on Demand.

  1. We are currently spoilt for Swedish content, and for those interested Stan also has Walter Presents: with Swedish titles too, including a binge worthy mythical horror series called Cryptid which has 10 sub 30 minute episodes.
