Whiskey on the Rocks
Created by Henrik Jansson-Schweizer
On SVT1
A satirical dramedy about Cold War political brinkmanship that treats existential nuclear stakes with irreverent humor and character-driven comedy.
In the middle of the Cold War, a Soviet submarine runs aground outside Karlskrona and suddenly Sweden finds itself at the center of events. Prime Minister Thorbjörn Fälldin tries to resolve the conflict and avoid a world war between two nuclear powers while struggling with a wise foreign minister and a belligerent commander-in-chief.
