What's it about?
Wallander fans may recognise lead actor, Dragomir Mrsic from the 2009 Wallander film Kuriren. In Alex, Mrsic plays the titular role: a Swedish cop with a dark, dark past.
Alex has a drug habit, and extorts money and kills — or so it would seem — to fuel it and pay back the gangster paymasters who have him in their clutches.
Things are further complicated but an old flame of his, Frida (Anja Lundqvist) is recruited as his new partner — and she's ready to keep a close eye on him.
