The programme focuses on two female leads against the backdrop of the rise of a far right political party, Trygghetspartiet (English: the Security Party.)Haridi's inspiration for the show came from election gains made by the Swedish Democrats and from shows such as The Wire and Homeland. The show was a ratings success, attracting over 1 million viewers in Sweden.Critics considered the Security Party to be too similar to the Swedish Democrats, leading to complaints to the broadcasting regulator.As Blue Eyes – and with English subtitles – the series was available on demand from Channel 4 TV as part of its Walter Presents service and occupied the Friday 9pm slot on Channel 4's More 4 channel during April and May 2016. It was also broadcast in Australia on SBS. The series was released on home video (DVD and Blu-ray) in Sweden in 2015, and on DVD in the United Kingdom.
