Lust

A nice attempt by HBO Max to make a traditional swedish comedy show based on awkward situations, social inabilities and typical Swedish reluctance of conflicts. It balances between funny and embarassing in a deliberately provocative Way. To a swedish viewer this is nothing new but I can understand that it's a very different experience for an american viewer. The actresses are some of the most acclaimed and experienced ones in Sweden and I think their performances are mostly solid. Overall I had a good time watching it.

So ridiculous how people rate 1/10 because HBO does not provide subtitles in English (which are there btw). Instead of rating the series and making it look bad, complain with HBO support!

The series is pretty fun, acting is not bad, and I would love to see more Nordic series on HBO max!

Being a US-born non-Swedish middle-aged man, this show was a total gamble for me... but it worked out and I really liked it. I haven't seen the theme of middle-aged women struggling to come to terms with their sexuality addressed in quite this style. The show reminds me a bit of Netflix's Working Moms but with a Scandinavian flavor, more warmth, and less ridiculousness.

It was great to get to see the Sweden-based settings and exposure to Svensk (with English subs -- you just need to turn them on).

I thought the acting was quite good and the characters and plot were interesting... if not totally believable. Still... it all works to bring an interesting story together. If the show is renewed for another season, I will watch it.

I had this in my watch list on HBO Max for a while and forgot about it. This weekend I noticed it again and watched the first episode. It was very good! (despite having to read subtitles, which I generally hate)

Then when HBO Max tried to play the next episide it failed with a very strange error. After that it was gone from my watchlist and I can no longer find it on HBO Max either on the web site or the app.

Does anyone know what happened? Did HBO Pull this already with no notification? I can't find any articles online about this, but many about the debut in March.

This is a lame attempt to bring a bunch of aging Swedish actresses together in a French Farce type series, but with Swedish humor. American TV has done this many times over, and there's a limit to the number of times one can repeat this formula. The acting is mediocre and the poor editing results in scenes being randomly stuck together in a chaotic manner. The whole PC humor does not translate well across cultures. It's entertaining enough to watch when there is little else in ones streaming queue.
