Absorbing and extremely well crafted theoretical scenario to the murder of the Swedish Prime Minister in 1986. Not the Swedish enforcement agencies finest moment by any stretch. It beggars belief how they were side-tracked by conspiracy theories and not looking closer to home even if this scenario is wrong. It is extremely doubtful that it will ever be proven one way or the other. It was a very good and interesting watch.

It was always a strange assassination because in a decade full of terrorism a prime-minister walked the streets without bodyguards. It's almost incomprehensible then and now. And however peaceful Sweden is/was the reality is that you are always going to come across an Oswald type oddball who happened to have a gun. Prominent people attract these types and there is no way around that. The movie needed some serious editing to cut it down and it needed to explore the motivation more - it was never clear and everything got put in the proverbial pot. It's strange to see a world without CCTV cameras and smartphones. If this happened today there would be dozens of cameras on him before the event and dozens of phones on him after it. He wouldn't have stood a chance.

Apart from the fact that Engström hasn´t been convicted, almost everything else is authentic. The police was so "incompetent". They mostly tried to pin it on an alcoholic. The guy died recently and journalists went through his diaries. It wasn´t him. The Engström theory appeared recently, when the latest investigator went through the material before the case was closed. It was conducted so incompetently. But Engström was dead and could not be trialed anymore. What was avoided by all means was to investigate the Stay Behind / Gladio track, even though they had premises in the Skandia house and had been seen in town with walkie talkies. "They were chasing drug addicts." Why does no one react to vigilantes taking the law into their hands and why do anti-communist vigilantes chase drug addicts? But what happened was that Sweden changed fundamentally then. Many financial interests benefited from Palme being cleared out of the way. The path to neoliberalism was open.

This Swedish drama based on facts is not a bad overall yarn, but its spun out across too much screen time, and the actors, makeup, and lighting sometimes made me think it was a sort of mid-budget theatrical production, or had some marked inexperience behind certain choices/aspects. There were continuity problems, and some of the dialog was seriously over-the-top (or repetitive) as well. Otherwise, a couple of the "Prolific Reviewers" have said the rest in their somewhat critical reviews.

Glad that the perp was portrayed as the sad, little loser that he obviously was. Too bad the "visionary" Hans Holmer didn't get to see how posterity viewed him. Overall a good miniseries that captured the underlying motivations well.

When Olof Palme was murdered in the mid-1980s, a hope of Peace and Equity disappeared with him not only in Sweden but throughout Europe and why not the whole world. Before, during and after few Politicians had, have and/or will have the class and determination of Olof Palme. And despite many pointing out the person responsible for the murder, the truth is that until today no one has been held responsible for the tragic event. "The Unlikely Murderer" from 2021 is a faithful reenactment of one of the most controversial events of the 20th century. And just another great Swedish series distributed by Netflix. As a Biographical and Research Series "The Unlikely Murderer" is one of the most interesting of 2021.

Well acted and produced, etc but coulda been delivered in HALF the time-or less!!! Very 'Swedish'. Provides an insight into sloppy police work, but otherwise... Could only rise to giving it a 5.

Its always very good that poor policework no matter country get exposed. Swedish films and series are amazing, Great acting. The series also portray the events like they were , very close to reality.

Nothing new. Boring. Same old Old White man, CIA etc pp. A lot of kitchen psychology. Like with all Jack the Ripper docus, at the end nobody is any wiser.
