Gösta

Just brilliant. Its so typical Scandinavian. Its so annoying and spot on.

(After watching only the first two episodes...) Thank you for making a series that portraits life's tiny curiosities with great humor and beautiful acting.

I love this series. Having trouble with most Swedish tv-series for over dramatic acting, this is spot on. So real, yet totally absurd. The story is slow paced, yet there is always something happening to keep it interesting. The characters are all unique and equally interesting. A masterpiece if you ask me.

One of my random picks at the BFI London Film Festival, didn't really know anything about it going in, and was surprised to find it was actually a HBO Europe TV series, rather than a film.

The performance we saw featured 4 episodes out of 12, with notes to explain the characters we discovered that had originated in episodes we'd not seen.

A Swedish comedy-drama, about a TOO nice guy who can't say no to anyone in need, while also working as a child psychologist, it follows his life in a small town he's moved to for work, and the individuals who pass through.

The show seemed to be a reflection of director Lukas Moodysson who appeared for a Q&A afterwards, and captured underlying dark themes, but with brilliant sharp witty humour which seemed to help as a coping mechanism for this own personal demons.

Littered with joyful moments, cringe-worthy scenes, and heartfelt compassion, it looks like it'll be a great little show which I'll certainly look out for on Streaming services.

True art piece that describes the ambivalence of kindness. Really funny but also pitch black some times. Legendary Lukas Moodysson at his very best. probably a tomorrow classic.
