''Bäckström'' is a [[Main/SwedishMedia Swedish]] [[Main/CrimeFiction Crime Drama]] based on [[Literature/{{Backstrom}} the novels]] by Leif GW Persson depicting [[Main/DefectiveDetective unscrupulous homicide investigator]] Evert Bäckström, portrayed here by Kjell Bergqvist. Season 1 is primarily based around the fourth novel ''Can You Die Twice?''
When a woman's skull discovered on a deserted island points to her murder by shooting despite apparently dying in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, arrogant murder detective and television star Evert Bäckström takes the case to find out how the victim can die twice.
''Bäckström'' was produced by Yellow Bird (known for the various ''Literature/{{Wallander}} adaptations)'', and distributed by [=TV4=] in Sweden and Acorn TV in the Anglosphere. A second season is in production, adapting the third novel ''The Sword of Justice''.
Not to be confused with the [[Series/{{Backstrom}} 2015 adaptation]] of the novels.
!!Bäckström provides examples of:
*AdorablyPrecociousChild: Bäckström's neighbour Edvin is only a boy, but he behaves more like a tiny policeman, [[Main/SherlockScan making several (correct) deductions]] about the skull he finds and being generally very useful. He's even brought along to question a suspect, although admittedly Bäckström doesn't have much choice in the matter.
*AlliterativeName: Hanna Hwass, Jaidee Johnson, Jada Jing.
*CharacterTitle: Bäckström.
*ChekhovsGun: Bäckström gives Tina the security key to get into his apartment. [[spoiler:After she sells him out to Boris and the Russians, they use it to get in without setting off the alarm.]]
*AlwaysGetsHisMan: Apparently Bäckström has solved 99% of his murder cases.
*DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:How Jaidee died "twice" - by switching identities with Jada Jing, who died in the 2004 tsunami.]]
*DetectiveMole: Bäckström is offered money by [[Main/TheMafiya the Russians]] to feed them info, or else be killed. He breaks down and, begging for his life, literally grovels at Boris' feet, before pulling out a gun and making short work of them... and then takes the money for himself anyway.
*FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Jada Jing is dressed up as Jaidee, complete with a (rub-on) infinity tattoo. When she's killed in the tsunami, Jaidee swaps identities with her to claim the insurance money. Daniel provides the tsunami police with a strand of her hair so they don't realise it's not actually her who died.]]
*FireForgedFriends: Bäckström and Hwass can't stand each other at first, and consistently attempt to undermine each other's authority, but they have grown closer by the end.
*HawaiianShirtedTourist: Bäckström wears muted floral shirts throughout the show, but only brings out the bright, garish ones whilst in Thailand for the case.
* InSeriesNickname: Oleszkiewicz is merely addressed as "Olzzon" by everyone else.
*NeverSuicide: Carlsson brings up the fact that, statistically, it's more likely the victim killed herself (especially since a gun is involved) but Bäckström quickly proves her wrong.
*NumberTwo: Annika Carlsson for Bäckström, although she's working a separate case for most of Season One.
*MythologyGag: Olsson and Olzzon mention Bäckström's dick is nicknamed [[Main/BiggerIsBetterInBed the Super-Salami]] as it is the novels.
*RedHerring:
