John Doyle Globe and Mail 05/04/2022
It’s a classic example of a Netflix surprise: The premise seems simple, it being about a hostage-taking after a bank robbery goes awry, but there is wit and poignancy in it and its odd, distinctly Swedish artfulness. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/29/2021
Anxious People manages to be funny and poignant and keep a balance between the two. As the mystery gets investigated and we get to know the hostages, we hope that the show should be able to achieve that same balance. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tracey S @RT20851134 Jul 7 Please watch the whole thing and give it a chance. LOVE this show. If only the whole world watched it..... What a wonderful message. See more Yvonne H @RT95691542 02/20/2025 The first Swedish series that made me laugh so much. The dialogues are funny. What happens next is always unexpected. See more Rob W @Mr_Inbetween 10/05/2023 Great swedish mystery, enjoy! See more Diane M @RT16029453 06/17/2023 Great story line and likeable characters. Plus, a wonderful ending. See more R E @RT57366722 05/26/2023 Some seriously funny moments throughout. It's a little over the top with all of the unrealistic goodness that prevails, but the humor is sharp, and the characters are great…and who watches stuff to be reminded of reality anyway. See more Don M @RT96283301 01/19/2023 I know this is cliché, but the book was so much better as you can delve into the characters more. However, this was an enjoyable watch and done very well.
