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
I Love this show!
I found this show on Prime about 18 months ago. To begin with I'm a sucker for anything Nicola Walker does and had just found out she died in another show. Tried to see if there was anything I missed and up pops *Annika* . Between the 4th wall breaks and the lit reviews, this part allows Ms Walker to be her quirky best. And for a murder show it's also pretty funny.
Yes, I understand that some folks aren't fond of the 4th wall breaks. I think that Annika uses them when her mind is so full of information and connections she just has to let something out to keep the pressure in her brain at a workable level. She's a mess at work, with her colleagues, with her boss, at home, with her daughter, and just general walking through her world stuff. That being said she is outrageously intelligent and so good at her job. She loves hard, but doesn't know how to express it so that others understand her.
I can't say enough good about this show, just asking that it's given a chance.
