Lust

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
