Few crime shows make the viewer feel as immersed (and, at times, almost complicit) in the on-screen violence as “Snabba Cash,” the Swedish series drawn from the same Jens Lapidus books as the 2010s film trilogy. The series begins with three separate threads of Leya (Evin Ahmad), Salim (Alexander Abdallah), and Tim (Ali Alarik) all trying to balance the realities and potential of the corners of Stockholm where they live. As things progress and their lives become linked, each of the three find that business of any kind demands a part of your soul. Whether in secret storeroom back areas, board rooms, or confrontations on open streets, there’s a coiled snake feeling throughout every episode that something significant and/or disastrous could happen at any minute. Once the bullets start flying, the specific “Snabba Cash” brand of controlled chaos is unlike anything else in the genre. — SG
