Sons of Anarchy on scooters. That was reportedly director Mika Kurvinen’s idea when he decided to adapt a novel about a powerful family clan from Finnish Lapland. The result is a drama with darkly comedic undertones that combines Nordic noir, a love story and a family saga in a land that does not give you anything for free. A series for a wide audience, which surprises with its personality, willingness to go to the extremes and love for its characters, has become a national phenomenon in Finland this year. Its pilot episode was the most watched in the history of the Nordic streaming platform C more.
