100 Code (also known as The Hundred Code) is an internationally co-produced Swedish crime drama series, developed by Bobby Moresco, that first aired on German premium channel Sky Krimi on May 14, 2015.[1] The series, which stars German-born British actor Dominic Monaghan and the late Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist,[2] is based upon Ken Bruen's 2014 novel Merrick, and follows Tommy Conley (Monaghan), an NYPD detective who travels to Stockholm to advise and investigate a particularly gruesome series of murders.

The series was broadcast on Sky Atlantic in the United Kingdom, airing weekly from January 6, 2016. A DVD release of the complete series was released on October 30, 2015 in Germany,[3] and on March 28, 2016 in the UK.[4] The series premiered in the United States on WGN America on May 29, 2018.[5][6]

Premise

Detective Tommy Conley travels to Stockholm to advise and investigate a particularly gruesome series of murders.[7] Young, blonde, blue-eyed women are found murdered at regular intervals near water bodies and flower fields. Conley has to work with the Swedish investigator Mikael Eklund.[7] The two hate each other, both fight with their own demons. After initial problems, the investigators investigate a series of murders, which, as initially thought, is not limited to New York and Stockholm, but has much larger dimensions.[7]
