Tempête de Noël

If you liked "Home for Christmas" you will also like this Series. Its a heart warming look into the life of different people all sharing the same faith, as a storm causes them to be stuck at the airport.

It is not your typical christmas movie, which for chronic christmas movie watchers is a plus in it's own right.

There is not a main big-romance kind of plot going on, but of course you'll find your fair share of it.

What makes it really shine are it's many perspectives and the nuanced view on Christmas that comes with them.

If you saw "Home for Christmas", there are many actors you will meet again which is at first a bit confusing but you eventually get used to their new characters.

This is a lovely, slow-paced, and character-driven series. No major events are happening; the focus is on relations between people and their conversations. I believe it's crucial that you like these types of series to enjoy A Storm for Christmas. The people who give this series bad reviews was expecting something different.

Just because you loved Home for Christmas (same director, some of the same actors), doesn't mean this series is a perfect fit for you. It's not really a similar at all, as Home for Christmas has a lot more humor, romance and more "action", while A Storm for Christmas is best described as mellow, cozy and moving.

The series is heartwarming and made me feel sad when it was over cause I started caring so much about several characters!

It's a breath of fresh air compared to many new-ish Christmas movies and series with so many clichés. Not to say there are no clichés in this one; there are, but in a different way.

There are many great actors here from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Recommend not watching the series dubbed cause you'll miss the fact that they speak different languages and therefore sometimes misunderstand each other.

I saw another review here stating how strange it is that one character switches between languages. This is likely the security guard who's not a native Norwegian speaker (the actress is American) and therefore changes to English sometimes. I do, however, agree it's strange that it is never really mentioned why she does that for international viewers.

And yes, there is a lot of profanity! Scandinavians aren't very religious people.

I loved this series! Great script and outstanding performances by the actors. The carachters are so relateable. One message is that Christmas spirit is different for alle of us. We should stop what we're doing once in a while and acknowledge that we have no clue what other people are going through.

This series brings out every feeling you've got! Tears, laughter and manu touching moments.

There are too many series/movies about Christmas out there. Most of them are garbage compared to this one. Read the subtitles, it's not the same with dubbing. I'm Norwegian so I'm probably not objective, but I see other reviews are as positive as mine.

Of the thousands of Christmas movies I've seen since my first... Concrete-dam... I've never had this much difficulty writing a review. There are so many amazing elements. Instead of a proper critique, I'm just going to list why my parents and I absolutely LOVED it: an eclectic, hugely relatable, cast of characters, the myriad of emotions they and we expressed/felt throughout, chances are -at least- one character represents YOU, A story -and lines- written so well I'm 110% sure as least one member of the production crew has personal experience, way more true-to-life than any Hallmark movie, and to top it all off... "I CAN'T believe we MISSED that!" Want to know what "that" is? You know what to do.

Exactly what you want from a Christmas show. Heartwarming, lots of life lessons and personal growth, love stories (romantic, friendship, family and even a dog) and a ton of emotions. The stories of the characters intertwine and the suspense each developing story line keeps you interested but not in a heavy way so it's easy watching. A few story lines are fairly predictable which for a generic show it might be a downside, for a Christmas show though it works perfectly. Other story lines are a little deeper and make for interesting characters. Perfect show to binge with a massive pile of snacks.
