Backstrom
Overview
Detective Lieutenant Everett Backstrom lacks a filter and a knack for self-preservation. Following a five-year stint in traffic duty due to his abrasive behavior, he steps back into the spotlight to head Portland's newly established S.C.U. Faced with the city's most delicate and critical cases, Backstrom grapples with both complex crimes and his own destructive tendencies. His journey is as much about solving mysteries as it is about confronting personal demons. This gripping series draws inspiration from the acclaimed works of Swedish criminologist and author Leif G.W. Persson.
