Backstrom is based on a novel by a Swedish novelist and criminologist whose title comes from the name of the protagonist: Evert Backstrom. It is said that the story in the original work is based on the "master of crime" in real life. The original is popular in Scandinavia-despite the sparsely populated northern Europe, it is a miracle that the book has sold as much as 6 million copies. The show is created by Hart Hanson, the creator and producer of Bones. The protagonist Evert Backstrom (Rainn Wilson) is known as the "detective version of Dr. House," a grumpy, self-destructive fat man. He tries to change his behavior, but he always gives up halfway. He can say what he wants and never hide it-surprisingly, his instincts are often right. He is a heavy drinker, a heavy smoker and a lover of junk food. The doctor warned him that he must change his unhealthy habits, or he would get seriously ill sooner or later. -- "Tianya Xiaozhu"
