Orkestret

Do you want to follow a guy that doesn't succeed at anything for 10 episodes? Then this is it.

The dialogue is alright but the story is boring and repetitive. Seems like the writers wanted to irritate the viewers on purpose. Waste of time.

An interesting insight in the life of an orchestra, the traditions, rivalry and artistry as well as the politics in the administration around the art.

The series also confronts a lot of dilemmas and conflicts regarding #metoo and genderpolitics, which makes it very relevant for our current Société.

Also great and funny actor as well as characters.

I enjoyed the 1st season of the show.

This is for me a classic Scandinavian comedy show with self-deprecating humor and multilayered characters. The interesting and fun plots of each episode gives room for really comedic situations which both makes fun of the musical world while at the same time respecting it and showing its worth.

However, the main takeaway for me is the brilliant way characters are set up and then developed throughout the series. A person can be both awful and deeply tragic at the same time, and this goes for most of the main characters of the show.

The performances are all-round nuanced and well-acted, and the direction is very interesting and in tune.

I would love to see more of this show!
