What is 'Snake Killer' About?

The series centers around a charming narcotics patrol officer, but don’t let his badge fool you into thinking he’s a lawful citizen. He may be tasked to prevent illegal occurrences from happening, but this doesn’t mean he himself won’t engage in a world of crime in order to lay down “the law.” The harmful practices Brian inflicts cause serious damage, despite the fact that his job is to protect his community from harm. It’s no wonder he’s the head of the most notorious narcotics team in all of Denmark. Their reputation is much deserved!
What is 'Snake Killer' inspired by?
Fans of the 2002 series The Shield, starring Walton Goggins, might recognize the Snake Killer premise as sounding awfully familiar. There are many similarities surrounding The Shield and Snake Killer, since both explore the sinister realities behind the police force. While The Shield targeted the LAPD, and Snake Killer is set in Denmark, both have a very similar premise. Will Snake Killer measure up?
Is 'Snake Killer' based on a true story?
What makes the series particularly riveting his the fact that it’s based on real-life events. Yikes! And here I thought Copenhagen was the most peaceful place in the world, thanks to its emphasis on the value of Hygge.
For those who don’t know: Hygge is essentially the art of coziness, which is a huge practice in Denmark. You’d think such a snug set of principles would ween out the most problematic Narcotics team in the country, right? Wrong!Who's in the 'Snake Killer' cast?
HBO Max
The series is filled with familiar faces, including several actors best known for their work on Game of Thrones. The cast includes Pilou Asbæk, Lars Ranthe, and Mira Obling, just to name a few. Talk about talent!

This is a 4-part series in total.
