Set in Sweden 1995, the latest “Eat the Rich” Netflix series Barracuda Queens is based on true events, and this bit of detail has us seated. The upcoming half-hour episodes were directed by Amanda Adolfsson, and they thread the story about partying teens who’re A+ students in the community. Yet, one fine day things fall down for them when they no longer have the budget to keep their vacay fever on. What do they do next? Is there a way out of this pressing debt for them? Lucky for them, they know just how to twist and bend the concept of “girl power” to their will.

Produced by the company Asp Varhos, the series has been co-written by Camilla Ahlgren, Sofie Forsman, Tove Forsman and Veronica Zacco, and here’s what the dream team cooked up together.
