What happens

Jefferson Anderson (Finnish: Pasila) is a Finnish animated sitcom. The animated series portrays a satirical view of daily events in Helsinki at a police precinct in the suburb of Pasila. The series is made by members of the same team that made the award-winning series The Autocrats, a political animated satire. In 2007, the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) sent Jefferson Anderson to compete for the Rose d'Or. The show's first two seasons were later dubbed in English and are available online. A sequel, Pasila 2.5 – The Spin-Off, was broadcast from 2014 to 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
