Production
The series is based on the case of a man who was convicted in 1991 for sexually assaulting five girls who took classes at his equestrian school in Mälardalen. The accusations came to broader public attention due to an award-winning Sverige Radio P1 program in 2018. Sophie Jahn, whose father had been convicted in the case, published an autobiography titled Daddy's Girl on the Horse Farm (Swedish: Pappas flicka på hästgården), which characterized her upbringing as abusive. Jahn collaborated with show runners on the development of the series and visited set during the production.[1][2]
Filming began in August 2021, mostly in Lerum.[2]
Reception
The series received a positive review from Karolina Fjellborg in Aftonbladet.[3]
Karlsson's performance as Tommy was given particular praise by Jan Andersson in Hallands Nyheter.[4]
Award nominations
The series was nominated at Kristallen 2023 for Television Drama of the Year. Karlsson and Samuelsson also earned nominations for their individual performances.[5]
Karlsson was also nominated for an International Emmy for Best Actor.[6]
