Uma Família Quase Perfeita

First of all congratulations to the outstanding unknown actress Alexandra Karlsson, this is her first film. I watched the series on Binge until the sixth episode, which in 49 minutes tries to overload the viewer with too much information, and as if it was written by a writer from outer space. I don't know the Swedish legal system, but if that's how they operate there In the reality of police investigations, but especially murder trials, the result is that it is actually easier to be a criminal in Sweden. The courtroom looks like a hall in the Palace of Versailles. A criminal trial and a legal decision that ends in less than an hour after witness testimony and summaries? How can you search for the truth like this? I know it's not a docu-film, but to know that's how they do it in court is ridiculous and outlandish. In the end, I was left with philosophical questions, what are the insights that the film is trying to convey to the viewer? What is the conclusion from the movie? Does it pay to lie and cheat? I won't write, but everyone will probably find the answer at the end of the movie.

I enjoyed this. It wasn't too drawn out and it wasn't a super complex storyline. There are random side stories that are fairly unnecessary and whilst a lot of them are the effects on the family, it never really explored them in any depth and so there is a "what is the point?" feel.

The acting is superb and the dubbing on the English version is done so well that it doesn't distract from the series at all.

I also felt (like another user) that episode 6 was rushed, but ultimately, we wanted to know what had happened and wrap it up by then. I also felt that this was meant to be the pre-trial to see if it went to court, but this wasn't explained and wasn't clear. But surely this isn't how trials are done in Sweden.

Overall, an easy and enjoyable watch.

Who is Alexandra Karlsson Tyrefors? The actress with no IMDb profile pic and no other credits to her name as of this writing. She is mesmerizing in "A Nearly Normal Family," the lead star who carries the series from beginning to end. Bravo! She should receive some acting awards for this nuanced performance. This series gets you hooked, mostly because the flow is seamless. All the episodes blend together as if it is one long, compelling movie. Time jumps are part of the storytelling, however they are handled with subtlety and finesse, keeping you curious, concerned, and entertained at the same time. As a bonus, this is also an opportunity to take a peek at Swedish happenings and those very aesthetically pleasing interior designs.

First of all, when I first watched the official teaser of the TV show I really liked it and I had high expectations about it. Eventually, it was as good as I had imagined and it definitely deserves more attention. The plot of the TV show was very interesting, mysterious and kinda innovative. The storyline was very well written, well-explained and kinda shocking. The characters were very interesting, well-developed and really likeable (except, Christian). Also, the casting was nice and their acting was incredible. I have to admit, it was a very intense TV show and there were too many shocking moments. In my opinion, the ending was kinda unpredictable and it was very emotionally intense (episode 6 was probably the best part of the show). Overall, "A Nearly Normal Family" was an enjoyable TV series, very mysterious and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

In a world of near identical whodunnits and psychological crime shows, this one stands out above so many. A stunningly good performance from the young female lead (Alexandra Karlsson Tyrefors, a star on the rise) whose life is broken then somehow patched together again after a rape in her teenage years makes for a truly compelling perspective on hurt and resilience. The supporting actors (particularly her father, but also her mother and her boyfriend) are terrific too - nuanced, subtle performances that add up to much more than the plot on its own conveys.

Fantastic cinematography, editing, and, most important, script add up to one of the best miniseries in the genre in recent years.
