Cilla Jackert: Policing the Screen and Swedish Storytelling

From Television Times with Steve Otis Gunn Jilted Maggot

Cilla Jackert writes about police on screen with a level of complexity and social realism that most crime drama doesn't attempt — and has plenty to say about what economic pressures and artificial intelligence are doing to the craft of television writing.

Cilla Jackert is an award-winning Swedish screenwriter and novelist best known for Tunna blå linjen (Thin Blue Line), with a career spanning television, film and literature rooted in social realism and a sharp eye for human behaviour.
