In the 2000s, Lindström has become a household name in Sweden through his documentary series Värsta språket about the Swedish language on Sveriges Television. The series has reached top ratings because of Lindström's personable and entertaining approach to the information presented to viewers. Lindström has written several books that have served as a basis for the series. They have the same kind of approach, mixing informality with information derived from the author's linguistics background.

Lindström's first encounter with the Swedish audience was on the radio show Hassan, on which he made prank calls to random people pretending to be different imaginary people, often with some kind of subtle disturbance that made the conversation farcical. The show aired on P3 for several seasons in the 1990s.

A few years later, after various smaller appearances as a stand-up comedian, he directed two Swedish featured films in the comedy/drama genre; these featured well known Swedish actors such as Mikael Persbrandt and Magnus Härenstam.
