Six 90 minute episodes with the brilliant Noomi Rapace.
Very enjoyable.

This is the Swedish version which precedes the movie with Daniel Craig which I haven't seen. The movie would cover the first two episodes of this series.

I enjoyed it a good while back. Is it streaming?

I tried reading the book - gave up.
Tried watching this - gave up. Not sure what all the hype is about his stuff but I don't get it at all.

It is excellent. We read the books a few years ago and got the Swedish films when they guest cane out. Thus TV release is a sort of directors cut I think with 6 90 minute episodes. We watched it on BBC 4 so saw the last obe last week.

I don't want to watch the American version because the actors in the Swedish version are just right for me.

@RaraRachael I found it hard to get in to the guest book but DH read it first and convinced me it was worth sticking with.

I remember holding my breath waiting to see what she would look like. Spot on! However, I saw her in another film where she was simpering like a ninny all over some bloke and I thought No! -I do know actresses should be able to do other roles but she was so right for the part. On the DVD, there's a bit where she is in make up and the man playing her father comes in and she goes "Hello Dad", made me laugh!

Is it the second book, she is buying a flat and there seems to be pages of things she's going to buy from IKEA, like a reprint from the catalogue? It needed, to coin a phrase, a damn good edit.
