Midtsommernatt

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.

The series starts off with a dramatic scene full of tension that sets the tone for the rest of the show.

It's full of plot twists, secrets and complexities we face as human beings in real life too.

All of this comes to light during the joyful festivities of Midsummer Night in the beautiful Norway.

You'll have some foreshadowing here and there that you'll pick up a hint or two that'll make you think, hmm that is probably linked to this or that and that makes you want to keep watching until you know it all.

Compelling stories, an even more interesting end with yet many questions left unanswered, hoping on a second season so we can see these characters their stories continued.

Because there is so much more to explore for these characters and their stories that were told in these 5 episodes.

... way all the storylines get tidied up nice and neatly at he ending is okay, if just a bit unrealistically-boring... it's well-done-acted-fun in Norway, just a bit more bite would have made it better

... one critic's review summing it pretty well.. "(were) this a longer show, there'd be time to understand the characters, find favorites, and support them in their finest glory, but with five episodes, there isn't really any emotional impact. Though the show does attempt to bring to the forefront the idiosyncrasies of each member present, it kind of leaves you a little bit unsatisfied. However, I will admit that the cast is fantastic, and each member brings nuanced performances and stands out individually. Still, it's a formulaic drama that has your betrayals, guilt, and misunderstandings to make it entertaining rather than feeling like you're watching a boring old family gathering."

... definitely worth a watch, just don't expect much from all the hectic-proceedings.

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.

Disregarding reviews from «top critics» in different medias, we started to watch «Midtsommernatt» in Netflix. It was quite late, so we decided to see just one episode. However, after episode 1, we were hooked... we continued. Then all of a sudden, we finished all 5 episodes!

«Midtsommernatt» is definitely worth watching. The cinematography is beautiful, the casting is perfect, the music is good, storyline is simple yet compelling and I love the way the series «grow» from start to end.

There is no doubt , Pernilla August is an excellent actress. Once again, she's amazing here as Carina. Nonetheless, the entire cast lends her a wonderful support with their lovable rendition of each character they play. Especially Sofia Tjelta who is remarkable as Helena. She is lovely to watch! I don't want to be unfair to Amalia Holm. She did a great job too as Hanne.

Hats off to the director and thanking him for making a TV-series which is entertaining yet quite relatable to the viewers.
