An idyllic organic farming comune turns out to be a fascistic blood-and-soil cult in this intelligent Swedish thriller. For sure, the plot is a little fantastical, but the motivation and character of the villains makes sense, unlike many "trouble in paradise" stories where there's little real explanation for the darkness below the surface. Here, the ethics and the aesthetics tie together nicely; and at just five episodes, the grim story moves along lightly. The final fight is unusally convincing.
