Swedish Dicks was an American-Swedish comedy series that aired on Viaplay from 2016 to 2018. The show follows the misadventures of two unlikely private investigators in Los Angeles, Ingmar and Axel, played by Peter Stormare and Johan Glans, respectively. Despite their cultural differences and polar-opposite personalities, the two are a formidable pair when it comes to solving peculiar cases.

Ingmar is a washed-up celebrity stuntman who has made a name for himself as a private detective, while Axel is a struggling DJ who hails from Stockholm. The duo's clients range from bumbling entrepreneurs to B-grade Hollywood actors and eccentric billionaires, each with their unique set of problems. The two are often out of their depth and have to rely on their ingenuity and wit to get to the bottom of the cases.

The show is not your typical crime procedural or detective series. It is a hilarious mix of pop-culture references, physical comedy, and absurd situations. The series takes on the stereotype of the aloof, emotionless Swede, and presents a fun and self-deprecating take on it.

The supporting cast is equally brilliant, with the standout performance by Vivian Bang as actress Sun as a hyperactive and neurotic victim. Actress Felisha Cooper plays the role of Sarah, an aspiring private investigator who becomes the duo's apprentice. Keanu Reeves makes a few guest appearances, playing himself, while Traci Lords appears as a washed-up adult film star.

The show does a great job of playing with the mismatched dynamic between the two main characters. Ingmar and Axel are a classic odd couple and their interactions are the primary source of humor in the show. Ingmar is the older, more experienced, and often jaded detective who has seen it all. In contrast, Axel is the younger, enthusiastic, and naive partner who is still trying to figure out how to be a private investigator. Their conversations are often hilarious, with Ingmar's deadpan responses to Axel's excited rants.

Swedish Dicks is not just a comedy series; it also has an emotional core. The show explores the backstory of the two detectives and their motivations. Ingmar, for instance, is still grappling with his past glory and dealing with his shortcomings. Meanwhile, Axel is dealing with his insecurities and trying to find his place in the world. The show's blend of comedy and drama is a testament to its clever writing and the outstanding performances of the cast.

In terms of the visual aspect, Swedish Dicks has a distinct look and feel. The show has a bright and colorful visual style, and the quirky camera angles and cuts only add to its humor. The series also has a fantastic score, with music composed by Joseph Stephens, which sets the tone for the show.

In conclusion, Swedish Dicks is a hilarious and unique series that will leave you in stitches. The show's creative premise, excellent writing, and brilliant performances make it a must-watch for fans of comedy and crime dramas. If you are looking for something different and entertaining, this show is definitely worth checking out.
