Tempête de Noël

Exactly what you want from a Christmas show. Heartwarming, lots of life lessons and personal growth, love stories (romantic, friendship, family and even a dog) and a ton of emotions. The stories of the characters intertwine and the suspense each developing story line keeps you interested but not in a heavy way so it's easy watching. A few story lines are fairly predictable which for a generic show it might be a downside, for a Christmas show though it works perfectly. Other story lines are a little deeper and make for interesting characters. Perfect show to binge with a massive pile of snacks.

This is a lovely, slow-paced, and character-driven series. No major events are happening; the focus is on relations between people and their conversations. I believe it's crucial that you like these types of series to enjoy A Storm for Christmas. The people who give this series bad reviews was expecting something different.

Just because you loved Home for Christmas (same director, some of the same actors), doesn't mean this series is a perfect fit for you. It's not really a similar at all, as Home for Christmas has a lot more humor, romance and more "action", while A Storm for Christmas is best described as mellow, cozy and moving.

The series is heartwarming and made me feel sad when it was over cause I started caring so much about several characters!

It's a breath of fresh air compared to many new-ish Christmas movies and series with so many clichés. Not to say there are no clichés in this one; there are, but in a different way.

There are many great actors here from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Recommend not watching the series dubbed cause you'll miss the fact that they speak different languages and therefore sometimes misunderstand each other.

I saw another review here stating how strange it is that one character switches between languages. This is likely the security guard who's not a native Norwegian speaker (the actress is American) and therefore changes to English sometimes. I do, however, agree it's strange that it is never really mentioned why she does that for international viewers.

And yes, there is a lot of profanity! Scandinavians aren't very religious people.

If you liked "Home for Christmas" you will also like this Series. Its a heart warming look into the life of different people all sharing the same faith, as a storm causes them to be stuck at the airport.

It is not your typical christmas movie, which for chronic christmas movie watchers is a plus in it's own right.

There is not a main big-romance kind of plot going on, but of course you'll find your fair share of it.

What makes it really shine are it's many perspectives and the nuanced view on Christmas that comes with them.

If you saw "Home for Christmas", there are many actors you will meet again which is at first a bit confusing but you eventually get used to their new characters.

At first I was really confused because there are a lot of very different characters, but after a couple of episodes you get a pretty good grasp of who they are. All the actors are doing a good job portraying their character, and makes the story decently believable.

It was a wonderful idea to have different nationalities a part of this show, I feel most of the time it works what seems effortlessly.

The soundtrack and mood is great in every episode, and you feel you get closer and closer to a happy ending for all.

There are some very weird dialogues here and there, and things I can't imagine anyone would say... One character swaps very cringey between languages for apparently no reason, and others just have truly odd lines. I also feel there is a character who got totally forgotten about which left me wondering why we didn't get to see their happy ending... But all in all, decent christmas show and worth a watch.

It was a series that caught my attention because I love airports. Also, it was excellent to combine the unrelated topics covered. There are lessons for everyone to learn. We see the concept of human psychology and destiny filmed in a sense. The players performed well according to their positions. It was a series that could be watched as a family and made inferences. Touched by real life, it was a series that showed how negativities in the family affect children and their separation from the family. It was an indication of how people who learned from the mistakes of the past use it as their only leverage in the future and that miracles can always happen.
