Crime Series - Varg Veum

The VARG VEUM series consists of 6x90 min self-contained films based on the Norwegian author Gunnar Staalesen's crime novels. The contemporary thriller series about hard-boiled private investigator VARG VEUM is distinguished by dark humour, sharp characterisation and unremitting tension.

Varg Veum is a private eye whose uncompromising and unconventional methods frequently bring him into conflict with the police, and at times with powerful vested interests, financial and political.

The police may be dismissive of Varg’s unorthodox methods and personal engagement when solving a case, but even the Chief Inspector has to admit that they bring results. Varg Veum goes where the police won’t. And sometimes – at no small cost to himself.
