Thunder in My Heart

I was immediatly drawn in by the story and stayed glued in front of the TV until the very last scene.

The story reflects in a truthful and captivating way what it's like to be almost an adult trying to have relationships in Stockholm.

The charachters Sigrid & Sam are consistently failing to act out their emotions towards each other. Realistically they mirror being stuck in the greyzone of the denying and somewhat cold approach you are expected to have towards love and relations at this age. Where nothing can ever be outspoken or real and everyone pretends is completely normal. Sigrid trying to follow these conflicting and unspoken relationships laws are making one destructive choice after another, and hurting others as well as herself along the way.

The characters are authentic and loveable. I feel for all of them and really want to know what they be up to next.

I'm hoping for another season and am looking forward to more creations and acting from Amy Deasismont in the future.

It took a few episodes for me to like it as much as I did. But it really is a very good series. It covers an important topic- a narcissistic and manipulative parent. Very refreshing to see. There is so many series out there about love and sex but this topic is very much needed today. And the acting really felt genuine and real, not like other series where you can feel that the actor has´nt experienced the emotions in real life that they are trying to express in front of the camera. But Amy as "Sigge" is doing an amazing acting and portraying of these emotions. And it feels like she is herself, like she is in real life. I am longing for the next season.

I ended up seeing this show by "accident" and boy am I glad I did - binged it in one night. Very good and heartfelt acting (I am not a cryer but I cried). Being Swedish I can sometimes feel that the dialogue becomes very theatrical but not here. Every emotion, good and bad, hit me right through the screen and I will be on the look out for a second season!

This series is not for the faint hearted, and it can be triggering for those who have experienced emotional abuse. While that's said I'll recommend it to anyone who wants to see something real. It's emotional and shows how complex growing up with narcissistic parents is. Thanks for giving this topic a space between all the unrealistic shows about young adult life and especially narcissistic and sociopathic people. The actors seem genuine and sometimes you will wonder if they have experienced similar things in their lives to be able to show these emotions. This series is not for those who like to sugarcoat things. Thanks Amy Deasismont, I'm looking forward to seeing your productions in the future.

Emotional, raw and truthful. Skandinavian shows like this and Skam are my favourite.
