Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the popular BBC Radio 4 dramas "Annika Stranded" (her surname is in program notes as "Strandhed") which also starred Nicola Walker, but is set in Norway. The radio series ran 2013-2020 and the episodes are 15 minute monologues. These have sound effects but only Annika speaks, either addressing other characters or confiding to the listener. Similarly, in the TV series Annika talks to the viewers through the 'fourth wall'. Writer Nick Walker reuses/modifies some of the plots. In the radio series Annika has a son Tor whose father is an officer in 'the Reindeer Police'.

Featured review
A pretty good series.
Di Annika Strandhed arrives in Scotland to take charge of a team at the MHU, The Marine Homicide Unit.
It's very quirky, she talks to the camera, and has a Norwegian accent that seems to have come all the way from London.
Annika is a really enjoyable series, it benefits from the presence of Nicola Walker, who is absolutely marvellous as the central character. Paul McGann also impresses. The acting is generally very good, but it's the stories that make it so watchable.
Episode quality does vary, some of the early ones are a little average, the first, and last however are excellent I thought.
A massive success story for Alibi, I hope we're treated to more next year, all in all, a good watch, 7/10.
