Review of Snabba Cash

Snabba Cash (2021– )
the best crime TV show at the moment, along Gomorrha
24 September 2022
I'm not acquainted with the Snabba Cash film trilogy so I can judge only what I've seen.

If you want to joke about it, Snabba Cash is telling us Stockholm is a city of star-ups and street gangs. The cast is solid and production such that at a certain point you feel the urge to buy a Parajumpers jacket like the one Salim wears in Season 1 and emulate his swagger.

Jokes apart, this is the most potent crime TV show in a while. The only one reaching these heights is Italian Gomorrha.

Snabba Cash offers a bleak insight into the country that offers one of the best standards of living in the world. To make things worse, it asserts that even in Sweden there are no significant differences between crime and business. If you really want to succed you need to outwit your opponents and do whatever it takes to attain the targets you've set.

The show is made to look frightening and powerful, yet rewarding. The single most important lesson you might learn here is not to try to repeat anything you've seen on screen.

There was just a handful minor negative points for me and, interestingly enough, they occurred during the ending of both seasons available at the moment. In Season 1 the very ending is twisting towards a telenovela. In Season 2 the authors played their cards better, so it was just a tad more melodramatic than I'd like.

In terms of IMDb stars, Snabba Cash is at the top of the range.
