## Description

First volume of episodes from the Swedish crime series following Commissioner Martin Beck (Peter Haber) as he investigates homicides in the Swedish capital with the help of his partner Gunvald Larsson (Mikael Persbrandt).

Review: Excellent series - Beck is one of my favorite Scandinavian crime series; it also ranks among the best crime dramas I have seen. Of the five episodes in this volume, four (numbers 27--30 in the Beck catalog) are new,; the other (#26) was a 2010 episode. The four new episodes are quite good, perhaps a notch below the many outstanding episodes which were produced in prior years. These episodes also mark the final appearance of Gunvald Larsson (wonderfully played by Mikael Persbrandt), who has been Martin Beck's (Peter Haber) main subordinate. One of the strengths of this series has been the interaction between Gunvald and Martin, two very different characters; the contrast between the two has generated a lot of conflict (and occasional humor) over the years. Four new episodes are scheduled to come out in 2016; it will be interesting to see how Gunvald's absence will affect the drama.
Review: The 'Episode History' of Beck....if you want to watch from the start - In the various years I lived in, or commuted to work in, Norway (1991-2008), I saw some of the earlier Nordic Noirs, and got to like the occasional Beck episodes that I managed to watch....but on Norwegian TV, no English subtitles, so my understanding was, at times, limited by my Norsk abilities. As I'd started buying Nordic Noir sets a few years ago, I tried to find the Beck seasons, from the start. I was delighted to see BBC4 were going to show 'volume 1' & 'volume 2', but hadn't appreciated they began with episode 26, the last of the original 4th season. It took a bit of research & badgering old colleagues in Norway, but I finally got the full list of episodes & different box set releases.....but buying them was another challenge. A combination of Norwegian Reg2/Pal sets & the recent BBC Vol1/2 Reg2/Pal sets covers from episode 17-34. However, the original episodes 1-16 are no longer available in Region 2 Pal format....any that might be found don't have english subtitles. The only current way to buy & watch Seasons 1 & 2 (episodes 1-18) is the US-release sets, and for that you'll need a DVD/Bluray player that is multi-region for DVDs, and a TV that will handle NTSC picture standard. I have bought these 6 sets, and can confirm that they all play ok & have english subtitles....if you buy them from desertcart or desertcart 3rd party sellers. There's a wee bit of overlap between the US/Nor/BBC sets, but I've listed below the full 34 episodes, split into the various box sets....I downloaded the original list from a Nordic source & edited it as I gradually tracked down all the DVDs. This has probably cost around £220, so no doubt someone will release a 'Complete Beck' box for under £100 very soon ;0) The 'Episode History' of Beck (colour-coding, italics, etc all 'lost' in copying, sorry!)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nordic classic
*by A***N on 21 August 2017*

Truly well made series with great acting and great production standards. Better than the average Nordic crime shows. It seems such a shame the producers of the show haven't reformatted the earlier series and ordered them into an easier viewing package.
