The whole things start with the main couple going to a bar. Than meeting up with someone, and from there going to party. As the night progress, the Girl Siri instigate a threesome. Her boyfriend While quite reluctant about it, he ends up going along with the idea.

Than the morning after his girlfriend Siri, has sobered up and feels jealous and insecure about he whole ordeal.

It's here the real drama of the series start.

Chemistry between the two actors who play Siri & David Doesn't really feel real. They come off a bit too much, as an onscreen couple. Fore someone who's been together 7 years I expect more natural chemistry. More floating dialogue and movement. Everything seem so directed,and scripted.

It often lacks the chemistry people who've been together, for a long time have . Especially young couples.

But the acting isn't bad, by any means. It's just everything feels so constructed, the dialogue the interactions etc.

Wow I love how raw the plot is and the way the actors were able to evoke the emotions of hurt and regret as the plot thickens. It just felt too real, like I'm watching a real couple go through this rough situation in their relationship. Though it has an open ending, which I like, I still want to see how the story goes if ever there will be a season 2! Overall a great watch!!

The depth behind this story is easily missed if you haven't been in the same dilemma as its portraying. Being someone who haven't learned to stay on your own two feet, torn between the security of an almost Co dependent relationship, and on the other side being with someone who has developed their individuality and giving you the glimpse of what that is like.

The fear of becoming your own person is holding people back i believe, staying in relationships which are not fulfilling, and in the process hurting your partner by your lack of authentic commitment. You are with them out of fear, not out of an authentic decision that this is the person you really want to be with.

This is a foundational dilemma in the human condition and people fall into the trap of finding security in other people all the time, specially when getting into a relationship while being younger.

Fantastic observation ability of the manus writers and actors in trying to portray something that's scary and relevant for many people, and the acting is very well done.

Menage à trois or triolism here seen through some (but not all) Scandinavian eyes

In French cinema there are countless numbers of joyful life-affirming examples of movies where it all is depicted as a great bonding loving exercise

• here not so much.🙂🙃😉

OKay so a French girl in fact Alma Jodorowsky the granddaughter of director Alejandro Jodorowsky has to be used as the tin opener; because we take it Northern Protestants do not do things of that depraved nature ....🙃

• But the kicker here is that the main actress here is the one who kickstarted the menage

• then of course and to corroborate every cliche non-Scandinavians have of Scandinavians she goes into an industrial-strength blue funk and BLAMES her reluctant partner for the event and fall-out including the shakiness of their superannuated high-school tryst

I am convinced a lot of young Swedes will be appalled at that; I would wager they do not take it all SOOOOOOOOO seriously

Overall mildly entertaining if a bit TOO effin miserable most of the time, Grimy London does not help; felt sorry for the boyfriend all the way through

Treat yourself to how it is properly done watch. Les valseuses (1974) or César et Rosalie (1972) That is how you do it. You do not bleat afterwards 😉😉

PS just watched the second season and then it gets very dull and grim all fun is removed ...

I recently watched a show similar to this called Sex/Life, I hated it and found it really dumb but the way this show went about it was infinitely so much better! I was so invested from start to finish, and the acting was so raw, it felt so real... I so much hope for a season 2 but I doubt it, either way I would love to watch this actors again especially the two main leads.

A shockingly great series, one that came from nowhere and I was stucked and hooked throughout its eight-part storyline. Everything works wonderfully and the mix of languages (sweedish, french and english) and cultures are rich. The plot is way, way much better than expected and evolves into a deeper, engaging character arc that can be related to many real lives out there. Matilda Källström is a total revelations to me, I will keep posted on her from now on. Her talent must be discovered. Totally recommended!

She wants to have her cake and eat it too.

Bored with her current boyfriend. Young females change their boyfriends like they change their clothes (fashion), no loyalty whatsoever.

Why the relationships fizzle out. Decides to spice up the relationship, then hook up with a dark handsome stranger and the fireworks begins.

It is dam if you She decides to be the naughty girl and risk it. Both her lovers are pissed (angry) at being used.

Crocodile tears, basically happy with things as they are. Has found out both boyfriends are not made of stone.

She decides to atone and again ends in disaster. The Swedish way. The Swedish way is 'don't forgive or forget' which is so much worse for a relationship." A reticence to discuss or air things.

They bottle it up and then it explodes.

Good acting,

A very swedish show. Made by Swedes about Swedes. I am swedish and this is typical the kind of garbage we had to endure growing up in the 80s and 90s. Its pale, naked, slow and depressing.

You follow a young Swedish couple, (Siri and her boyfriend ) in London that ends up with a french chick after a wet night out. It all ends with a threesome while the couples friend (who are interested in the French chick) crashes in the next room.

Siri gets some sort of trauma after the experience even though she initiated the whole thing. And the clueless boyfriend becomes confused due to Siris changing behavior and mood.

Its a lot of naked bodies, drinking, f-king and vomiting in trashy places. A typical swedish show about mental health issues, relationship problems and anxiety.

Sit this one out. Its more enriching to visit the crapper.

Couldn't stop watching - the foto shots are just great.

Although the episodes are too short, I am enjoying it.

Never mind the short dialogues, nobody recites Shakespiere in real life.

You just talk when you need to and that is it.

The acting is good. It centers mostly on Siri and John, because David doesn not talk much.

I am trying to find out whether there are more than eight episodes in the first season ... and if there is a fourth.

This is one of those series about beautiful young people having relationship problems in the big city. I'd feel very lucky to have the same problems that they have. The central couple has been together for too long and is starting to drift apart so, when they have a spur of the moment threesome, it triggers feelings and doubts that have been festering for some time. She doesn't want to ask the question and he doesn't think there's anything to discuss as the threesome was by mutual consent.

It's a very well made production and, despite some of the comments in here, I think the acting is very good. In fact a lot of the dialogue is unspoken. If you don't pay attention throughout you'll miss what Siri is feeling as it's expressed on her face rather than in words.

The sex scenes could have been embarrassing but I thought they were pretty realistic. I hope they had an intimacy coordinator on the set as they were very raw.

I'd love to see a follow-up series.

I only started to watch the show because my fiancé and friend where in as extras. I could only watch 4 episodes and the main reasons I couldn't watch more of it was because:

• the script..like.. the dialogue in each episode felt like they only said 4 words each. Literally nothing happened that took the show foreword.

• the acting. It wasn't the worst but it wasn't the best either

• the character Siri.. I don't remember how old she supposed to be in the show but GOD she was annoying and acted like a 12 year old with that attitude. She clearly couldn't communicate with her boyfriend EVEN when he asked "what's wrong" etc. Instead she acted like everything was fine and then just sat angry alone inside her room. No thank you.

To exploit semi-naked young women and stripped young males does not make a good drama. The idea of monotoring young people exploring their sexuality is good and may shock some US watchers but is not the purpose? Still, the main characters are beautiful and quite charming.
