A satirical espionage comedy Stop Nyqvist was supposed to start as early as last month, but Yle was rumored to have shelved the series at the time.

However, in the end, the shelf turned out to be only a temporary decision, as Stop Nyqvist starts today on TV1. Initially, according to Iltalehti, the problem was that Yle feared that viewers would not be able to distinguish fact from fiction. In the series, Russia launches a hybrid operation against Finland. In the shadow of the Ukrainian war, the series was considered frighteningly topical. However, it’s about black humor and comedic fabrication.

– Some events in the series are so close to the situation in Ukraine that the release was re-evaluated once. Now viewers can finally see the series. Let’s move in the middle ground between fact and fiction, but luckily he gets laughed at this, Yle now informs after considering the presentation in more detail.

Nyqvist, who appears in the name of the series, is Aleksis Nyqvist, a trainee in the media department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is described as a tenacious underperformer who fails in everything he does. Now he will take over the management of Finland’s new secret service, the Baltic Sea Unit. It is intended to counter intimidation of Russia.

The Cold War breaks out again in an instant and Helsinki is teeming with agents. When the walking disaster Nyqvist comes on, the soup is ready. He immediately provoked an international conflict, soon involving the CIA, the FSB and the intelligence services of Sweden and Denmark.
