The film and book have a surprisingly philosophical message that is very positive and encouraging. Despite the crime backstory, it is actually a very quite story about a group of random people brought together in a very unusual situation that end up bonding together in the most unusual way possible. This is not an action packed crime drama so you may be disappointed if that is what you were expecting. Backman is a master story teller and the film is pretty much how I imagined the characters when I read the book. I think this is one of the few cases where the film version has captured the book almost perfectly. The Netflix series develops the story characters very slowly and methodically in six 30-minute episodes. I'm a huge fan of Fredrik Backman and this Netflix series is an excellent adaption of his book "Anxious People".
