The Machinery (Swedish: Maskineriet) is a Swedish TV crime drama, which debuted on 24 May 2020 on Viaplay.[1] It is directed by Richard Holm [se] with the screenplay written by Peter Arrhenius, Niclas Ekström and Kjersti Ugelstad and co-created by Holm, Ekström and Ugelstad.[2][3] The first season consists of eight episodes. Most of its action is set in September 2019 in Strömstad Sweden and Sandefjord Norway,[4] flashbacks include scenes set in Mexico. The main protagonist Olle (Kristoffer Joner)[5] is investigated by police led by Nina (Julia Schacht)[6] for his involvement in a robbery-murder orchestrated by his first wife Monika (Emilia Roosmann). Olle's second wife Josefin (Hanna Alström)[6] is unaware of Olle's criminal past, while her financially desperate brother Palle (Anastasios Soulis) works for Monika due to his debts to criminal biker Axel (Mattias Nordkvist [se]). Olle, Monika and Nina seek the stolen money. Monika is shot by Josefin but Olle takes the blame. Palle burns his own restaurant down for an insurance scam.

The second season of six episodes started on 15 May 2022. Additional scriptwriters are Gunnar Svensén and Karin Aspenström. Action is set two years later and mostly in Swedeen although some scenes depict Norway. Josefin now lives with daughter Lilly (Maja Svärd) and stepson Jimmy (Gabriel Gunerius Fevang) while continuing for her deceased father's business. Palle is out on parole. When Olle's trial is due to start, Jimmy, wearing a bomb vest, takes his classmates hostage, which results in his teacher becoming comatose and later dying. Monika flees after causing a prison transport collision and impersonates waitress Pernilla (Ellen Jelinek [sv; no]). Olle escapes with Erik (Magnus Roosmann – Emilia's father).[7] Both Olle and Monika look for Josefin, their children and the money. Nina, suspended from active duty, unofficially hunts Monika and Olle. Palle conceals heist money and launders it via a luxury car racket. Palle is engaged to Julie (Roshi Hoss [sv]), who spies on him for Axel.
