Dips

If I was tasked with hiring new employees for the Swedish Foreign Affairs Department I wouldn´t hire Jens, Mimmi or Fanny. They don´t take their jobs seriously.

Jens is spoiled and immature. He can´t handle the media and, in my opinion, one of his few redeeming qualities is that he speaks more languages than Swedish. Mimmi needs a hairbrush and a lesson in honesty. Fanny also needs certain things, for example a drivers licence and etiquette classes.

The humor in this TV series is based on Jens, Mimmis and Fannys incompetence and clumsiness. And yes, quite many scenes are funny in my opinion. I actually giggled a bit, but I didn´t laugh loudly. All in all I liked "Dips" and yes, I will consider recommending this one.

I really liked season one for several reasons. 1. Likeable characters. 2. Well written dialouge. 3. Acting that is a little over the top. 4. Short episodes that make you want to see "just one more episode" 5. It's one part silly and one part smart.

It is very funny really my kind of humor. But the shaky camera makes it unwatchable very quickly. Too bad it was destroyed by the tremor disease plagueing film and tv nowadays.

Spot on comedy about how the Swedish government and diplomats are handling different crisis situations. Stereotyping the cast into perfection and ive seen the series about 3 times, and you find new stuff every time. Hats off Fore the creator Marie Agerhäll for this Swedish Masterpiece.

Entertainment value: 6 I am conflicted, the majority of comic situations are frankly just not funny. Then some are brilliant. Could have been so much better.

Visuals: 6 Standard camera work

Soundtrack: 8 Fitting

Plot: 6 Not much to see here but then again, it's not the main selling point.

Characters and dialog: 5 Don't know what to comment here really...no characters have any depth but then again, they don't need to? The dialog is just stupid at times but that is the point I guess. Just not my cup of coffe.

Total:
