Threesome - Ein Dreier mit Folgen

Menage à trois or triolism here seen through some (but not all) Scandinavian eyes

In French cinema there are countless numbers of joyful life-affirming examples of movies where it all is depicted as a great bonding loving exercise

• here not so much.🙂🙃😉

OKay so a French girl in fact Alma Jodorowsky the granddaughter of director Alejandro Jodorowsky has to be used as the tin opener; because we take it Northern Protestants do not do things of that depraved nature ....🙃

• But the kicker here is that the main actress here is the one who kickstarted the menage

• then of course and to corroborate every cliche non-Scandinavians have of Scandinavians she goes into an industrial-strength blue funk and BLAMES her reluctant partner for the event and fall-out including the shakiness of their superannuated high-school tryst

I am convinced a lot of young Swedes will be appalled at that; I would wager they do not take it all SOOOOOOOOO seriously

Overall mildly entertaining if a bit TOO effin miserable most of the time, Grimy London does not help; felt sorry for the boyfriend all the way through

Treat yourself to how it is properly done watch. Die Ausgebufften (1974) or Cesar und Rosalie (1972) That is how you do it. You do not bleat afterwards 😉😉

PS just watched the second season and then it gets very dull and grim all fun is removed ...

Couldn't stop watching - the foto shots are just great.

She wants to have her cake and eat it too.

Bored with her current boyfriend. Young females change their boyfriends like they change their clothes (fashion), no loyalty whatsoever.

Why the relationships fizzle out. Decides to spice up the relationship, then hook up with a dark handsome stranger and the fireworks begins.

It is dam if you She decides to be the naughty girl and risk it. Both her lovers are pissed (angry) at being used.

Crocodile tears, basically happy with things as they are. Has found out both boyfriends are not made of stone.

She decides to atone and again ends in disaster. The Swedish way. The Swedish way is 'don't forgive or forget' which is so much worse for a relationship." A reticence to discuss or air things.

They bottle it up and then it explodes.

Good acting,

A shockingly great series, one that came from nowhere and I was stucked and hooked throughout its eight-part storyline. Everything works wonderfully and the mix of languages (sweedish, french and english) and cultures are rich. The plot is way, way much better than expected and evolves into a deeper, engaging character arc that can be related to many real lives out there. Matilda Källström is a total revelations to me, I will keep posted on her from now on. Her talent must be discovered. Totally recommended!

The depth behind this story is easily missed if you haven't been in the same dilemma as its portraying. Being someone who haven't learned to stay on your own two feet, torn between the security of an almost Co dependent relationship, and on the other side being with someone who has developed their individuality and giving you the glimpse of what that is like.

The fear of becoming your own person is holding people back i believe, staying in relationships which are not fulfilling, and in the process hurting your partner by your lack of authentic commitment. You are with them out of fear, not out of an authentic decision that this is the person you really want to be with.

This is a foundational dilemma in the human condition and people fall into the trap of finding security in other people all the time, specially when getting into a relationship while being younger.

Fantastic observation ability of the manus writers and actors in trying to portray something that's scary and relevant for many people, and the acting is very well done.
