We loved series 1. Realistic. Funny. Uplifting. Believable. Really enjoyed every episode. Great writing. Great characters.

Series 2? Just stupid with each episode getting less and less credible. A will that was never probated from 15 years earlier? Swedish law might be different from elsewhere in the world but not that different. A fertility issue that is just handled so badly that not one decision that is made on screen along the way seemed to make any sense? Sorry, we kept thinking that it would be more likely the exact opposite would have happened in real life. Lawyers taking on cases without ascertaining the facts about their client? Not sure about that one. A break-up for a reason we just could not understand as it made no sense? We discussed it after the episode and couldn't fathom the logic.

So, sorry, anybody contemplating viewing this programme should view Series 1 and be satisfied with that as series 2 will just annoy you.

This show is deeply moving. You start to care for the characters from the get go and cry and laugh with them throughout the series. I highly recommend this show. The acting of Johan Ulveson deserves a special shoutout.

Perfect in everyway, a masterpice!! The story is fenomenal, acting Great, casting Great, and it has a Great conection with the real world

This is one of the best Swedish productions I have ever seen. The tone and frankness, straightforwardness of the dialogue is refreshing and comforting. The casting and the acting is among the best I have seen a swedish production company achieve in years. I am full of admiration, well done Josephine Bornebusch, spot on! As a a swede abroad since more than 20 years, I sure appreciate a good quality scandi production. Loved to see some of the "old guard" Johan U and Görel C, Maria L. Some of the newer, Sverrir, Nina and Gustav and to me a fresh one (but that could be because I live abroad) Josephine Bornebusch - you are absolutely sensational, what a treat. You are like the Swedish answer to Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Absolutely wonderful. Want more.

I am gonna rewatch this after I've finnished the australian remake. I've almost completed the first season of the australian version and I gotta say it is a pretty good take on the original. Back to the swedish version created by Josephine Bornebusch. If you watch it, you'll notice that she has put in a lot of time and effort to make this masterpiece. I am from Sweden and I highly recomend to see more with her involved. She is a great actress and director. The serie got Guldbaggen Award which is like a swedish Oscar. In the drama/romance genre, I think this is one of the best. If you want a deep self reflection serie to watch, this is the one.
