Drinking Champagne, partying, getting dolled up for fancy dinners in their upper-class neighborhood, acing all their high school tests… that’s life for these five Swedish teens who call themselves the Barracuda Queens. Unfortunately for them, they’ve just blown their budget… by a lot. So they decide to casually burgle their neighbors. Set in the girl power glory days of the mid-1990s, Barracuda Queens follows a group of suburban teens who go on a crime spree in order to pay off their debts — and get revenge on those who’ve done them wrong. All six Champagne-filled half-hour episodes were directed by Amanda Adolfsson (Eagles).
Right here.
It’s 1995. Best friends Lollo, Klara, Frida and Mia — aka the Barracuda Queens — are privileged, hard-partying teens who excel in school and are well-liked in the community. After being hit with a huge bill from a luxurious vacay, the group hatches a plan to rob their new neighbor Amina’s house and pawn the goods later. While things don’t exactly go their way, Amina is more interested in joining the gang than pressing charges. Together, the girls become involved in an escalating campaign of burglaries that target their rich neighbors and the guys who’ve done them wrong. Who would ever suspect them?
