This series embodies much of what is wrong with contemporary culture in general, and more specifically, that which is the rot at the ever-shrinking heart of modern entertainment; vapid people leading insipid, empty lives while engaging in banal, repetitive, self-centred nonsense that nonetheless looks nice in photos...

..that is, if you're not entirely underwhelmed due to the influx of overly-stylised homogeneous imagery you've likely been bombarded with online for the past decade.

Each episode consists of 20 minutes of mini-montages composed mainly of close-up shots of cool, active, "mindful" and trendy young people engaging in Fun Stuff before joyfully prepping vividly-hued organic dewy vegetables, grinding fair-trade (there is no such thing, people-It's called marketing!) coffee beans while pallets of of organic fare sizzle on high-end ranges in the usual earthy, aesthetically appealing environs inhabited by the lucky .0001% of us. The music that accompanies these scenes is loud pop-rock, all phoney sunshine and uninspired force-fed "YOLO!"

This is a bloated TikTok video, a supermarket or Amazon ad, sans the mixed-race/gay couples, afro'ed or rainbow-haired/tattooed/bull-ring-nosed youngsters, although one or the other possibly showed up beyond the mark where it exasperated my patience. Produced for a demographic possessed of an attention span of less than two minutes, there will invariably be those who will find such empty calories a welcome escape from their worldly woes--but isn't this ubiquitous in so many offerings on every streaming platform?

I want, and expect, more meat on the bone, a story I can chew on, even for a short while; the little entertainment value isn't even funny enough to be considered a comedy, nor is it compelling enough for a drama. The characters communicate as if their only impetus for intelligible dialogue were to create meme-worthy bits of cleverness, and the flimsy premise of "sustainable catering" (I can barely withstand yawning) coupled with the side-splittingly hilarious subplot "My BFF Is Doing It With My Mother (While Trying To Hide It From Me! Tee-hee!)" would be gross if it weren't so stupid. The aforementioned mother, portrayed by a Danish actress who will be familiar to fans of Netflix's Rita, is far too old to be considered even nominally sexy; she's harsh and entirely devoid of warmth in every regard no matter the role. The attempt to make her appear hip ring so hollow it's unintentionally funny, and I will never understand her apparent appeal to audiences. The young males are annoying at best, mostly forgettable. Skip it for rewatches of the first season of Rita or Bonus Family.

'Call me dad' is a really fun serie about a sub-assertive guy trying to make a little difference in the world while running a catering business with his best friend. I recognized the leadactor from his role in Vikings, and the contrast with this role as a people pleaser is kind of hilarious,.

The story is honestly very funny. The cast is great, making the ridiculous twists in the story kind of believable. The serie is nicely shot. Episodes are short and amount of episodes is just good for telling the story. The humour is maybe a bit typical Scandinavian, which is in my opinion the best kind. I also loved the plot of the last episode.
