Perni

I love how the Norwegians and Swedish are doing the opposite of the Americans etc because they cast realistic looking people, and everyone isn't perfect, and the writing is realistic and real! I believe what makes a good show into a GREAT show is the real factor because when its realistic people are transported into what they are watching. Yet, when its fantasy its all just make believe kid stuff and its just not interesting. The reason most film makers use some fantasy with realism is because they use the fantasy writing and casting etc to make up for the fact that their writing is subpar and their style isn't good so they make up for it with silly fantasy plots and pretty faces but bad actors. The main actress isn't the most beautiful woman, but there is something about her, and it shines really bright! She is still beautiful, but she is beautiful on both the inside and outside, a healthy mix, whilst most of the time, actresses that play her part are just pretty on the outside and don't have the personality nor the acting talent this actress clearly has! She is a real actress and she is going to continue to do well. All of them are great actresses/actors! Bravo.

As a divorced, single mom in my mid 40's, this one really hit home.. I believe Pernilles struggles, they are all recognisable. Loved the series, looking forward for season two.

Great show, solid acting, but the two daughters are walking ads for abortion. They're both so terrible, it borders on parody. Pernille being everyone's doormat ia somewhat tiring as well.

I still can't understand Sigrid's love for that narcissist pos deadbeat father. It makes no sense, he's repellant.

I'm only into the second season, do I'm hoping these flaws get repaired.

Wonderful performance from the lead, so that's something. The look and feel of the show is fantastic as well.

I'm going to stick with it, and see how it goes.

But man, that Sigrid character is really getting on my nerves.

Its hilarious, awkward and gut wrenchingely sad, and the show manages to send you through those emotions in span of 30 minutes EVERY episode! You fall in love with the characters immediately. Really good so far!

Don't be misled by the name -:) This is an authentically Written, Directed and Acted Series that delivers a Story which is raw, poignant, beautiful and nuanced!! The ensemble cast brings the characters to life.. And Henriette Steenstrup is simply BRILLIANT!! I'm left wanting more and am praying there's a Season 2!!
