Lust

For all of you saying there are no subtitles, you are incorrect. You just have to know how to turn them on. Mine came up in Swedish with English subtitles immediately. Check your settings. A fun HBO MAX romp.

The serie takes place in Sweden in beautiful surroundings. Almost all the characters are really funny in their own specific way and it's great to be able to follow each one in 8 episodes. The language is sometimes so rude that I wonder how they can even take themselves seriously without bursting out laughing on the set. The commercial that was shot with "Vildhavre / Wild Oats" has settled as a mantra in my brain, even if it was too much. The different situations that the characters go through sometimes require a pillow to hide behind because it becomes cringe, but in a good fun way.

I love that it's about 4 women and their lives with men, jobs, boyfriends and children. The series really takes everything to a new twisted level at the same time as it is possible to find recognition as a 40+ woman.

I did not think this serie was for me but I found myself laughing straight out several times. It is not shy or apologetic for itself and I am filled with energy and joy on their adventures. When the last episode was over, I immediately wanted a season 2.

It was feel good that I did not know I needed - or would like. :-) I love being surprised!

If you do not know Swedish, you can turn on the subtitles.

In each episode there is at least one scene which is outrageous but so believable. Don't be frightened by having to read the subtitles for those non-Swedes amongst us, this is a great show.

Fun. Quirky. Swedish. Sisters, their friends, their boyfriends and husbands. Hilarious ongoing antics between spouses, friends. Dealing with work, social life, sex life. To cheat or not to cheat. The parents barge in on the kids... the kids barge in on the parentals. Very frank discussions of sex, sexuality, families, dating. And definitely not for the younger children! Funny bits, mixed in with some serious stuff. Directed by ella lemhagen; she's done a bunch of tv and film, and won numerous film fest awards.

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.
