As it shifts fluidly between comedy, romance and drama, one of the main pleasures of this eight-part Swedish series is its unpredictability. Set in a small, financially troubled book-publishing house, it charts the arrival of the new strategy specialist, Sofie (Ida Engvoll), whose job is to propel Lund & Lagerstedt into a more secure future. She arrives impatient and full of confidence, but events take an unexpected turn during her encounters with young IT technician Max (Bjorn Mosten).

But rather than blackmailing her, which she expects, he asks only that she take him out for lunch. After that, he says, he’ll delete the incriminating footage.
