Hi Guys, just catching up on the latest “old” episodes. One minor quibble with the Skyfall episode. Ola Rapace is Noomi Rapace’s ex-husband, not her brother. There are all sorts of lurid stories on Swedish websites about how he had to bulk up for a film role a few years ago (he’s naturally a tall, skinny fellow) and he took the fast route via steriods. Soon after, he went completely bezerk, expanding his pharmacological experimentation to include all sorts of drugs, and unfortunately, abusing Noomi. There’s one memorable story about the time he attempted to throw her off a penthouse balcony.
So definitely an EX spouse (although I do hope Noomi went a little “Lisbeth Salander” on him before they split . . . :)
Looking forward to the new shows!
