''Fallet'' (English: ''The Case'') is a [[Main/SwedishMedia Swedish]] [[Main/MysteryFiction Murder Mystery]] [[Main/{{Dramedy}} Comedy Drama]] and a spoof on the NordicNoir genre of Main/CrimeFiction, following a pair of rather incompetent detectives attempting to solve a murder.
[[Main/CowboyCop Sophie Borg]] (Lisa Henni) returns to her hometown of Norrbacka in UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} alongside [[UsefulNotes/BritishCoppers DCI]] Tom Brown (Adam Godley) from St. Ives, UsefulNotes/{{England}}, in order to investigate the murder of a British citizen. What seems like a typical setup akin to ''Series/TheBridge'' is quickly turned on its head when it turns out both are rather bad at their job, but through a combination of dumb luck and sheer tenacity they are determined to hunt down the killer and bring justice back to Norrbacka.
Produced by several Scandinavian companies, the show debuted in 2017 on [=SVT1=] before being acquired by Netflix. Creator/{{Showtime}} was apparently developing a [[Main/ForeignRemake US-based remake]], but as of 2021 nothing has come of that.
!!''Fallet'' provides examples of:
*BilingualBonus: Any Swedish not translated for the benefit of Tom (or the audience).
*BritishBrevity: It's ''Swedish'', but there's only eight episodes (of a mere 30 minutes each) and just one season.
*CowboyCop: Sophie is a gung-ho detective who shoots first and asks questions later (providing she didn't shoot them in the head by accident).
*DaChief: Klas Wall, although the only problem is he's not very good at it.
*DisappearedDad: Sophie never knew her father, which is quite troubling for her.
*EstablishingCharacterMoment:
**Sophie, having boldly declared she's going to shoot Olof Palme's killer in the thigh to stop him from escaping (and from quite a distance!) takes aim... and [[Main/OhCrap shoots him in the head]].
**Tom sweeps into the dining room of a grand old house in St. Ives, [[Main/SummationGathering where all the suspects are dining]], only to screw up his explanation spectacularly and accuse the wrong man (who wasn't even '''in''' St. Ives) of murder.
*FamilyThemeNaming: Mrs Arneson's sons are named [[Music/{{ABBA}} Björn and Benny]]. Sophie legitimately things she's talking about Music/{{ABBA}} until Benny turns up and introduces himself as such.
*FunnyForeigner: Tom is overly polite (to the point where he apologies for apologising so much), and is generally quite unfamiliar with Swedish culture, making him stick out quite a bit. And from his perspective, everybody around him seems offbeat.
*LukeIAmYourFather: It turns out that [[spoiler:Tom is actually Sophie's father, from his brief but intimate romance with Kristina when she was on the St. Ives language course]].
*MistakenForMurderer: Tom and Sophie burst into Arne Arneson's house to see him about to impale a man hanging from a crucifix, surrounding by chanting hooded figures. [[spoiler:Then they realise they've just walked into a rehearsal of ''Theatre/JesusChristSuperstar''.]]
*NordicNoir: A comedic take on the genre, especially the two-cops-from-different-countries-team-up format popularised by ''Series/TheBridge.''
*ShoutOut: ''Fallet'' has many to other crime or mystery shows:
**As mentioned above, the concept itself was popularised in recent history ''by Series/TheBridge.''
**Klas Wall compares Tom to [[Series/MidsomerMurders DCI Tom Barnaby]] so the Swedish reports might understand what exactly his rank entails.
**Then, in turn, Tom compares Klas to [[Literature/{{Wallander}} Kurt Wallander]].
**When raiding the bar, Bill brings along the captive bolt pistol from ''Film/NoCountryForOldMen'' to blow out the lock.
**The guy in [[spoiler:the drug lab]] looks suspiciously like [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White.]]
*TellMeAboutMyFather: Kristina's refusal to do this is what sparks Sophie's animosity towards her.
