| Roland Hassel | comment |
Roland Hassel is a Swedish crime-thriller from The '80s, based on a series of novels by author Olov Svedelid, and with actor Lars-Erik Berenett as the titular protagonist Roland Hassel, a genius cop who uses his intelligence rather than fighting skills to accomplish his goals and finish the cases. It had three seasons in its original run, with each episode featuring a case and a hidden villain, usually revealed in the middle of the episode or at the very end, where a major plot twist happens.A remake was made in 2017-2018. Ola Rapace, the new actor, said he found the originals "boring", but that he liked the character Hassel in general. | |

The Sociopath | |
| Roland Hassel / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: "The Blackmailers" has Jeff Dureya, a former FBI Agent kicked for slowly obtaining more and more mob connections, who became an assassin later and has no qualms blowing up an entire plane just so that he can kill one victim. He's a Cold Sniper as well, often toying with his victims. The two villains in "Penitens" are both emotionless sadists who seem to do what they do for fun. In There Is No Mercy!, there's the Big Bad Johnny Strand, who kills his own men, killed Galina Kalinova's family, tries bombing an entire church, etc, all for money, and simply doesn't seem to like humans in general. | |

Distant Finale | |
| Roland Hassel / int_3318a1cb | comment |

Asshole Victim | |
| Roland Hassel / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: On the other side of the coin, Strand's death is well-deserved and while many might feel sympathy for the above-mentioned villain's death, no one will feel the same about this sociopath. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| Roland Hassel / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: It is revealed at the end of There Is No Mercy! that Gallina is planning on killing multiple people as vigilante justice, putting her firmly in Anti-Villain territory, but her death is heartbreaking as she instead kills Johnny Strand, the Big Bad who killed her family rather than arrest him, and she dies here. She smiles as she dies, and everyone seems sad over her death. | |

Nice Guy | |
| Roland Hassel / int_c5249b29 | comment |
Nice Guy: Simon Palm, especially in the original, is like the human equivalent of Winnie the Poo, he's kind and goodhearted all the time, eats alot and is quite chubby, and loves children (Palm has multiple of his own in fact). There's also Hassel's wife Virena who is always seen as cheerful and happy. Hassel's children are probably the nicest persons in the entire series, being cute all the time. | |
