Anxious People synopsis
Based on the novel written by Fredrick Backman, at face value, Anxious People seems to be your classic whodunnit series where the culprit of an open house hostage can be amongst any of these peculiar people, however, below the surface is a heart-warming series full of wholesome moments and found family.
See the official synopsis via Netflix, here:
"Anxious People is a drama-comedy about a bank robber failing miserably by robbing a cashless bank and ends up taking eight persons hostage during an open house. After giving up, the apartment is stormed by the two dysfunctional police officers Jack and Jim, who also happen to be father and son. There is just one problem: The apartment is…empty. In a series of contradictory testimonies afterwards, the hostages tell their version of what really happened whereupon a classic – but hilarious – puzzle mystery develops. All while the hostages share a common secret that is creating a unique and almost unbreakable bond between them."
