Gåsmamman

Simple, complex, exciting and moving; all of it this series. Wish for a fifth season, and for many people to give it a go. Brilliant!!

The casting was good. The swede's delivered all over pretty good. Rapaport is excellent as always!

The casting of the kids could have been better! Nina was great though.

"Gåsmamman," a gripping Swedish thriller series, follows the story of Sonja, a mother who finds herself navigating the dangerous underworld after her criminal husband is killed. The show excels in character development, portraying Sonja's transformation from a sheltered woman to a fierce protector of her family. The writing is sharp, filled with unexpected twists that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The performances, especially by lead actress Alexandra Rapaport, are powerful and nuanced. The cinematography beautifully captures the tension and emotional depth of the story. While it delves into dark themes, it also highlights resilience and the complexities of motherhood, making it a must-watch for thriller enthusiasts.

Amazing to watch. The acting is wonderful, the shots are lovely and the plot and story are well-thought-out. By that I mean that the story holds in all seasons, we get to see the children grow up and stories or happenings from previous seasons come back years later. I love that! I feel like they've put a lot of effort into making this series great, which really shows. It's perfect in my opinion.

No plot holes or dumb reasoning that one typically might find to make sense of the story. I think all of the characters' decisions are reasonable which makes it lovely to follow. I'm very invested. The last season - the epilogue will be released soon and I can't wait to see it!

I'm on season 2 of Gåsmamman and Sonja the mother is getting in my nerves constantly I mean seriously how can someone be that stubborn and straight up just stupid. And that goes with the sister as well Nina, she doesn't piss me off as much as the mother but season two is full of stupid and idiotic decisions. So far into the series Gustav and Linus are the ONLY two characters I actually like. This isn't much of a review but I wanted to rant about this. I do hope this series gets better especially the characters because I am very close to quitting...not really I'll probably just skip scenes just to see gustav or Linus. Linus especially I love Edvin Rydings.

Season 1 was pretty good. Not great, but it had some interesting characters, a few mysteries and surprises, and a genuine dilemma-should the heroine be loyal to her sleazy, drug-dealing family members, despite the fact that they are endangering her and her kids, or cooperate with police?

Sadly, while the dilemma of Season 1 had some internal logic, Season 2 completely "jumps the shark" and defies plausibility. By Episode 3, you may want to through your remote at the TV screen.

You would have to have complete amnesia about Season 1 to believe the behavior of the characters in Season 2. I wish they had just ended the series. Or if it had to keep going, start over with a completely fresh and different situation rather than asking us to accept absurd plot developments. I have no idea what Season 3 or 4 are like, because I just couldn't get past Season 2.
