href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/clark-netflix-release-date\/&quot;\">Clark<\/a>, is now available to stream in full \u2013 and it\u2019s unlike any other true crime series you\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n<p>Starring Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd as the titular <span class=\"&quot;searchHighlight&quot;\">Clark<\/span> Olofsson, it tells the story of his notorious, decades-long career of crime, involving multiple prison breaks and bank robberies, as he left a trail of destruction in his wake.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that sets the series apart is its fantastical style, with the whole series told from Clark\u2019s perspective in a heightened reality, and this is no more apparent than in the show\u2019s opening scene.<\/p>\n<p>In the earliest moments of the series, we follow the camera inside Olofsson\u2019s mother\u2019s womb to find baby Clark inside, with Skarsg\u00e5rd\u2019s face superimposed.<\/p>\n<p>Now, speaking exclusively with <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/&quot;\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> for a <strong>Big RT Interview<\/strong>, Skarsg\u00e5rd has confirmed this scene had been in director Jonas \u00c5kerlund\u2019s mind from the earliest moments of the series\u2019 development.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\"
