Yes, it's a Swedish version of the American series Red Widow and the Dutch series Penoza, which Red Widow is based on.

I would not say that it's not based upon any other movie or series at all.
It's (almost) like saying that all movies with a car-chase is based on a specific movie.
I have seen all of the 8 parts and they are very well done and have a unique story
Even if I'm from Sweden it's very rare that give high points on Swedish movies or series,
Why? it could be because I'm very fond of thrillers/action

This is so well done with a very good story that I am giving it 9 out of 10!!

Just check the end credits of each episode, which says:

Gåsmamman is based on the format "Penoza"

Rather lame series if you ask me, just like TV4's Modus. It's OK, but nothing more than that. 5/10.

Yes you are right about that its based on the "format Penoza" that got around 28 episodes, I haven't seen it.
Gåsmamman got 8 Episodes, and there is one thing that they got in common:
That the wife takes over the illegal business after her husband is killed

I have been reading about every episode of the Dutch Penoza, and it seems to be the only thing that they got in common.

Anyway,, I liked it a lot, and it's far better than the crap on the Swedish channel TV4
