What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Harry Flodman's eccentric habits and chaotic cottage conflict with Stefan Carlsson's polished public image and Emma's municipal responsibilities.
Emma is tasked with helping a former prime minister settle in and generate positive publicity for the area.
Hanna leaves the big city after an embarrassing incident online and moves in with her sister in her hometown.
The Värmland setting, Flodman's homemade moonshine sales, and his foul-smelling outhouse make local unconventionality central to the conflict.
