Clark is a 2022 Swedish six episode television miniseries starring Bill Skarsgård, produced by Netflix, released on 5 May 2022. It is based on the life of Clark Olofsson and includes, in episode four, the events of the Norrmalmstorg robbery.[1] [2] [3]
Music for the series was composed by Mikael Åkerfeldt, frontman of the progressive metal band Opeth, who also cameos as an inmate in episode 2. Tobias Forge, the singer and songwriter behind Ghost, plays a small part as a violinist in episode 6. Amalie Bruun, from Myrkur, plays a member of the revolution group in episode 5.
Critical response was generally positive from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the miniseries has an approval rating of 82% from critics.[4]
Imogen West-Knights wrote a mixed review in The New Statesman, praising Skarsgård's performance in particular while being critical of the show's "breakneck pacing and tonal shifts," and not fully committing to its self-aware commentary.[5]
