The series stars Charlotte Munck (Kongekabale) as the title character Anna Pihl, Peter Mygind, and Iben Hjejle (High Fidelity and Blinkende Lygter) as Mikala.
The show follows the work and personal life of Anna Pihl, a policewoman at the Bellahøj police station in Copenhagen.
She is divorced, and lives with her son, Mikkel, in a flat shared with Jan, her gay male friend.
The show focuses on personal stories and realism: although it has action and suspense, it comes second to more realistic material.
In United States, Latin America and Portugal, Anna Pihl airs on Eurochannel.
