Mittsommernacht

I thought i was watching the horror movie midsommar it ain bad doe. It was suprised when I saw it was a series but I was js thinking "o shi i ain know midsommar was a series" den we was startin the third episode i was thinkin like where tf dem scary parts at, den i looked if it was rly the right midsommar but it wasnt. I was lwk tuned in doe so it ain bad. Well put together and great actin. I was suprised to when i saw the movie was in norish or whateva tf dey was speakin. Anyways it was confuzin but i fw it so it was a good show. The story was interesting and it kept me on the edge of my seat. But again i thought i was watchin a horror movie so dat prolly had a big roll in dat.

I was looking for a horror movie to watch with a friend so we picked the movie midsommar when I pressed play on this series I was confused because I thought the horror movie midsommar was a movie but we kept watching thinking it was a horror. So with every thing that happened we thought 'when is it supposed to get scary' only to find out after watching 2 episodes that it was a drama and we where watching the wrong show. Either way I didn't dislike the series but I would recommend it if you just want to watch a series without thinking to much the writing is good and the build up is just fine. I'm not much of a drama fan so I was a bit dissatisfied. I have learned that before I watch a movie I have to make sure it's the right one.

The series starts off during the joyful festivities of Midsummer Night in the beautiful backdrop of Norway.

This show begins with the parents with one looming secret, however it turns out that it is full of plot twists, secrets and complexities every family seems to encounter in real life.

Many times you will question the character's motives and actions and will want to know what happens next.

Compelling stories throughout the 5 episodes, and I am hoping for a second season so we can see these characters and their stories continue so lingering questions can be answered

Highly recommend seeing the diversity of characters Amalia Holm plays in such shows as Motherland Fort Salem, Delete Me, Alena and Playground.

At first I felt provoked by some of the storyline and considered not continuing to watch it. But I am so glad I did. Felt my heart open in the end and a lot made sense, a clarity about the vision of the show, a beautifully crafted storyline that, as Scandinavian storytelling so often does, zooms in on the details of our life and relationships. Emotional intimacy, family care and real life is what you will meet in this series. It is not black and white, and precisely therefore does it open your heart to the people in the show and ultimately to the people in your own life. I really recommend this wholesome show.

Being a big fan of all kinds of Scandi productions and Amalia Holm as well I really enjoyed episodes 1-4 of "Midsummer Night". But the last episode kind of ruined it for me because of the enforced harmony at the end. After all what happened that was far from believable.

The visuals of "Midsummer Night" are stunning, the cast in parts stellar, esp. Pernille August, Dennis Storhoi and said Amalia Holm, who certainly could have more played free with a stronger acting partner. All in all "Midsummer Night" is worth to watch, touching a lot of questions about what you really want to do with your life. Wish they had had more time to enfold the story instead of 30 minutes per episode.

I'd love to give them 10/10, but had to lower my rating because of the last episode.
