The British and Swedish versions have some shared characters and themes, but there are some major differences. The Swedish one is a lot darker, and more realistic IMHO.
This clip doesn't do it much justice, but it's all I could find with subtitles

Yes, I was aware that it was based on an original Swedish series, but have not seen it, so thank you for the clip. The original looks great.
I've been watching the Brit version and have really felt they are soft-shoeing it and pulling some key punches, punches that an HBO or a Showtime would have likely not been afriad to include. Still it's worth watching, but now I'm wishing they had have really followed the lead from the Swedes a little more closely.
