Klovn

Klovn is one of a kind and I have never seen anything like it. Truly genius and the funniest TV Show I have ever watched. ...Though to enjoy the full potentiel of this show, I do think you need to understand danish and know about Frank and Casper's place in the danish comedy-scene.

I discovered this show while visiting a friend in Denmark last year. During some downtime, my friend convinced me to watch a few episodes of Klovn on DVD, proclaiming, it's a Danish Curb your enthusiasm. Before I knew it, I bought the entire box set to take home to my friends in Australia. This show is fantastic, it really draws you in and commands you to watch episode after episode. I laughed myself stupid throughout the whole series and I could easily watch the whole thing repeatedly. Some people have called it a Danish Curb your enthusiasm, but I would dare say that this show is better. Curb maintains it hilarity for about 3 seasons, before becoming predictable and unrealistic. Klovn stays funny and true to itself for the entire 6 seasons. Also, as a side note, if you've ever been to Denmark, this show transports you back there, it's a really beautiful country.

A previous reviewer was spot on when comparing this to a Danish Curb Your Enthusiasm. However, in true Scandinavian style, it's a bit more raw/real and the humor is darker. So whenever I'm in the mood from some Curb Your Enthusiasm humor but want a bit more, I go to Klovn.

But even though the style of comedy is similar to CYE, it's very original and has a distinct style that can't be replicated. This is partly due to the fantastic acting and characters of the show. I'm lucky enough to understand Danish but if I got my hands on this show with English subtitles, I'd be watching this with friends and family regularly. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy dark, awkward, Scandinavian humor. Don't watch this with your parents or grandparents.

Klovn is one of the best danish comedy series. BUT, from season 7 when Mia and Frank got children it kinda destroyed the serie, because of the kids bad acting.

Season 1-6 = 10 stars Season 7 = 5 stars Season 8 = 7 stars.

This show is just so funny! I have been wanting to see this series after reading up on it, but when we got the DVD i was disappointed that it had no English subtitles. So my boyfriend (good thing he's Danish!) took the sweetest task of translating for me as we watched, and we couldn't stop laughing! We wonder how it could happen but it did... we guess it must be because Frank and Casper's facial expressions and movements are so silly, and the two women Mia and Iben are really seriously funny as well. And of course, my boyfriend's way of translating the dialogue was done with a real talent and i love him for it. Great show guys!
