Unfortunately, Sweden is a few episodes ahead of Australia&#8230;. so I&#8217;ve skipped a few now (go MythTV, record them for me baby). One really good thing about Swedish TV is that things are subtitled instead of dubbed &#8211; excellent if your Swedish isn&#8217;t that great (mine isn&#8217;t).
