Perhaps grace and dignity were not words we would associate with Gunvald but he could have been given a better exit than this; everybody concerned deserved better. Crime boss Zlatko Lozanovic survives a lone gunman’s shots on the street, but doesn’t when a sniper kills him in front of his wife Charlotta (Marie Robertson, Real Humans) and father-in-law Bertil (Björn Andersson, Modus) with a bullet through the window of his home. The latter four started premiering in Sweden on TV4 in January 2015, and in the UK on BBC Four in September. We think it’s Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto.

Beck: Buried Alive (Beck: Levande begravd). Hi Tom. Maybe the writers should listen to the viewing public a little more before they make these dumb decisions. Meanwhile, the serial killer is making more coffins… and making too-close-for-comfort contact with Martin. Kill Gunvald, kill the series. And then killed in a manner, which felt so simple. This is the last-ever episode of Beck with Mikael Persbrandt, and I must say the ending is the saddest, sweetest, most poignant of the thirty episodes that have aired to date. I’m gutted they killed off such a wonderful character, there was so much more to know about Gunvald and now we’ll never know it. […] Reply. Thanks for your comments Susan.

Gunvald is more irritable than usual with a days-long headache as he, Martin, and the rest of the team investigate both deaths. Zlatko had enemies throughout Stockholm’s criminal underworld, and Martin and his team, along with Rimfors (Johannes Brost, Jordskott) from Narcotics, must find the murderer before one of Zlatko’s crew does. As someone who started watching Beck in 1997 the death of Gunvald was traumatising. Viewers who have been able to watch the series in real time will have watched the characters mature and age. It is quite stylish, with its contemporary, Nordic noir look, and comes complete with new Beck theme music. Despite his nice shoes, he gets off on the wrong foot with Gunvald by making a bad call. There is scarcely an episode in which Gunvald is not facing down the barrel of a criminal’s gun. Plus we needed to know that Gunvald was a dad before he was killed off. We sat down with two-time IFTA winner Cathy Brady to find out more about her feature debut, We met with Belgian filmmaker Stephan Streker to discuss his new work, We talked with Alaa Karkouti, CEO and co-founder of MAD Solutions and co-founder of the Arab Cinema Center, about some aspects of the Arab film market. A few can even elicit laugh-out-loud responses. Those of us who had thought that Gunvald Larsson would have the chance to retire from the Beck series with grace and dignity were to be massively disappointed. I haven’t checked the order of what’s been shown so far, but my guess is that the episodes within each series are shown in order, but the series themselves have been shown in an odd order. Well, that was uncomfortable. Gunvald Larsson is the secondary protagonist of the long-running thriller TV Show, Martin Beck.He is a police officer and the Colleague of the main protagonist, Martin Beck. Why did he want to leave? I agree 100% with your opinion. But I also believe it was done very well: no schmalzy good-byes in the hospital.

But it’s a mark of the acting of Mikael Persbrandt and Peter Haber that none of those things matter today. He was portrayed by Mikael Persbrandt in the majority of the franchise, but also by Thomas Hellberg in the 1976 movie The Man on the Roof, Bruce Dern in The Laughing Policeman (1973), and Rolf Lassgård in the 1993 episodes. Even though there are a few continuity flubs (mostly unnoticeable unless you pick apart the episode), Beck: Buried Alive, written by the husband-and-wife team of Cilla and Rolf Börjlind (Spring Tide), is so intricately and tightly constructed that I was tempted to pull out pen and paper to track the links between the victims and the killer.

It’s a keeper, as it contains the final five episodes with Mikael Persbrandt as Gunvald Larsson. But the relationship with his ‘surprise’ son is not developed, nor is the friendship with Beck’s daughter Inger. Let’s not fall into the trap of thinking of Gunvald as some Swedish policing national treasure.
