Pernille

I'm convinced this show could go on forever, honestly. The acting is superb, the writing is great, and the characters (except the ex Finn and the bad parents Pernille meets as a worker in CPS) are so likeable. It's also a very realistic portrait of a Norwegian modern family, and there is moments of joy, sadness, fun all mixed up in a way that creates a great drama.

Especially the scenes between Pernille and her headstrong daughters are so fun to watch.

This is a cool, funny and heartwarming show. Even my fiancé who's a tough motorcycle guy loves this show.

DO NOT watch if: -You're offended by swearing/foul language -You have very conservative family values.

I love this show, I've been binging it from the start. It's very a very entertaining easy to watch show. The only thing that bothers me from the first episode into the 4th season that there is hardly any development in the behavior of her daughters. They are both a pain in the ass. Of course kids can be challenging at that age, but they just keep being selfish and irritated about the smallest thing all the time. And Pørni just takes it all in. On the one hand it's good to show how kids that age go through hard times emotionally but you can exaggerate it. For the rest I love the story line, the portrait of the Norwegian way of life, etc.

Enjoyed this series, but Pernille too servant-like to almost adult daughters. Respect parents- they give up a lot for you. Followed whole series through and Hannah particularly irritated me as entitled daughter. Maybe a Scandi thing, but be nice to people. Loved the dad and the whole relationship scenario, but in the end, what did Pernille have for herself? Spent a lot of time running after daughters and father. Very relatable character with all her foibles, but need as all parents to push back with kids. Time to grow up Hannah and Sigrid. Parenting is giving - up until certain age. After it becomes servitude.

Good story. The acting is top notch. Henriette Steenstrup and Nils Ole Oftebro at their best. Warm,and the setting and challenges will be familiar to most people. I will very much recommend this series.

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!!
