I recently stumbled on a real life TV show call ‘Tunnelbanan’. Tunnelbanan is the underground/metro/subway in Stockholm. The show’s concept is to follow the security guards there in their daily job.
Unlike the other subway systems around the world, the Swedish one is known for constant late and cancelled trains using various excuses. On top of this the ticket price is high and the ticket system is not waterproof. Therefore the amount of ticket cheater is huge and quite accepted in general, well not by those who run the subway of course.
With the Swedish citizens not so keen on killing each other (except in a town call Malmö) there’s actually nothing exciting going on in this TV show that has adopted the American TV style of story telling.
So what do we actually get to see in ‘Tunnelbanan’?
1. Guards waking up and chasing drunk people out of the subway.
2. Guards taking drunk people in custody and then hand them over to the police.
3. Guards waking up utterly tired people waiting for train and chase them out the subway.
Running through the 4 episodes I could confirm my theory that this kind of (security guard & police) job attracts only 2 groups of people. 1. The non-educated and arrogant and 2. The one that’s not able to find other job in our society.
So why am I watching this? Yes that’s how bored I am at the moment.
