I've been watching telly! With my significant other! Without a child. That doesn't happen very often. We've watched "Björnstad". Beartown (TV Series 2020– ) - IMDb Has anyone here seen it?
"Bear Town"/"Björnstad", anyone?

It's a five-part series set in a small town in northern Sweden. There's one factory, one pub and a lousy hockey team. That's about it. Unemployment is high, the winter is dark and hockey is the only crack where the light gets in for a large part of the small population. A local man who's had a short NHL career comes home, to attempt sabing the hockey club. He has a teeanage daughter who's invited to a party she's too young to understand the dangers of attending.
It's ... like a Nordic Noir High School drama where we also get to know the adults. Does that make sense? 🤔

Can't remember hearing about it either.
Don't watch many Swedish shows but I might check this one out.
Can imagine there are a few northern Swedish male stereotypes in a show like this.
But I've spent some time in places like Lycksele, Kalix, Gällivare and similar for work and those stereotypes are all true. lol
