Action-packed crime featuring the tough-as-nails Anna Holt.

We’ve been watching "Anna Holt," the action-packed TV series featuring the smart and tough police officer Anna Holt (Petra Nielsen). Dedicated to her difficult job, she hunts down murderers and criminals with everything she’s got. Now available on video as a two-cassette set with a 135-minute runtime—and it’s excellent all the way through!

Where did the loot go?

Part one focuses on a bank robbery that proves much harder to solve than it first appears, leading the police into the world of violent bodybuilders. Suspicion also falls on fellow officer Erik Hammar (Peter Andersson), who has intimate ties to the brutal motorcycle gang at the center of the case.

In the second half, the struggle intensifies. The biker gang stops at nothing, using extortion and threats against Anna’s son, Nicke. Police Chief Janis (Stig Engström) decides it's time to play hardball to stop the threats against officers and witnesses.

The fight against crime continues with new cases, including a 25-year-old "cold case" dismemberment murder that resurfaces. Will the statute of limitations run out before justice is served?

Editor's Note (2026): This Swedish classic was originally released as a dual-VHS set in August 2000. Masterminded by crime legends Leif G.W. Persson and Jan Guillou, with a signature score by Micke "Nord" Andersson and Martin Hansen. Swedish viewers can often find episodes streaming at SVT Play.
