Anxious People () is a 2021 Swedish comedy drama television series directed by Felix Herngren and based on the novel of the same name by Fredrik Backman. It stars Leif Andrée, Marika Lagercrantz, Per Andersson, Lottie Ejebrant, and Anna Granath.
A bank robber holds up an open house, before disappearing. A father-and-son team of inept cops investigates.
Anxious People was met with a positive response from critics. John Doyle of The Globe and Mail wrote, "It's a classic example of a Netflix surprise: The premise seems simple, it being about a hostage-taking after a bank robbery goes awry, but there is wit and poignancy in it and its odd, distinctly Swedish artfulness." Joel Keller of Decider wrote, "Anxious People manages to be funny and poignant and keep a balance between the two. As the mystery gets investigated and we get to know the hostages, we hope that the show should be able to achieve that same balance."
