Much of the series revolves around Lars-Göran Bengtsson, the less-than competent social democrat mayor of Svinarp, who is usually saved from disaster by his disillusioned staff. Starke man was written by Wiktor Ericsson and Anders Jansson with Anders Jansson (as Lars-Göran Bengtsson), Magnus Mark and Anna Blomberg in the main roles.

The first episode was broadcast on 26 September 2010. The second season was broadcast in 2011.

The series was filmed in Kävlinge, Sweden.{{cite web |url=http://www.sydsvenskan.se/omkretsen/article626169/Kavlinge-plats-for-vinnarkomedi.html |title=Kävlinge plats för vinnarkomedi – Omkretsen – Sydsvenskan-Nyheter Dygnet Runt |work=Sydsvenskan |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100227091630/http://sydsvenskan.se/omkretsen/article626169/Kavlinge-plats-for-vinnarkomedi.html |archivedate=27 February 2010 |df=dmy-all}}
