... way all the storylines get tidied up nice and neatly at he ending is okay, if just a bit unrealistically-boring... it's well-done-acted-fun in Norway, just a bit more bite would have made it better
... one critic's review summing it pretty well.. "(were) this a longer show, there'd be time to understand the characters, find favorites, and support them in their finest glory, but with five episodes, there isn't really any emotional impact. Though the show does attempt to bring to the forefront the idiosyncrasies of each member present, it kind of leaves you a little bit unsatisfied. However, I will admit that the cast is fantastic, and each member brings nuanced performances and stands out individually. Still, it's a formulaic drama that has your betrayals, guilt, and misunderstandings to make it entertaining rather than feeling like you're watching a boring old family gathering."
... definitely worth a watch, just don't expect much from all the hectic-proceedings.

At first, I thought it's going to be a normal story about normal family gathering to celebrate and having a little party at the nature, with the smiling and those faces and the worms in their feelings but as it turns out, there is a particular reason for the party and you're gonna be shocked because the collapses it's going to fall down one at a time after another.
It kept me open an episode one after one until I finish it, I felt catharsis after watching all this happen and actually, I was relief because I thought it's challenging to phase those kind of situation, especially when you see yourself in one of those characters, you Gotta feel the pain you gonna feel the doubt the sadness and the joy and happiness and the smile on your face so I say it's worth your time but what happened in the end, it's up to you what it satisfy you or not?

I found the casting and acting to be phenomenal. The setting was stunning as it primarily took place at a beautiful Norwegian home on a lake. The show is filmed in Norwegian but the English subtitles are accurate. I wish there were more seasons to come but this story is certainly meant to be told as a short series which adds to the appeal. I found myself thinking about the ending and its meaning afterward which is a metric I use to assess a series: is it thought provoking and impactful? Yes. There was a lovely musical element and focus on real Swedish Midsummer traditions that brought so much color to the show. I would rewatch this series in anticipation of taking away a different message or noticing new details.

The series starts off during the joyful festivities of Midsummer Night in the beautiful backdrop of Norway.
This show begins with the parents with one looming secret, however it turns out that it is full of plot twists, secrets and complexities every family seems to encounter in real life.
Many times you will question the character's motives and actions and will want to know what happens next.
Compelling stories throughout the 5 episodes, and I am hoping for a second season so we can see these characters and their stories continue so lingering questions can be answered
Highly recommend seeing the diversity of characters Amalia Holm plays in such shows as Motherland Fort Salem, Delete Me, Alena and Playground.

I thought i was watching the horror movie midsommar it ain bad doe. It was suprised when I saw it was a series but I was js thinking "o shi i ain know midsommar was a series" den we was startin the third episode i was thinkin like where tf dem scary parts at, den i looked if it was rly the right midsommar but it wasnt. I was lwk tuned in doe so it ain bad. Well put together and great actin. I was suprised to when i saw the movie was in norish or whateva tf dey was speakin. Anyways it was confuzin but i fw it so it was a good show. The story was interesting and it kept me on the edge of my seat. But again i thought i was watchin a horror movie so dat prolly had a big roll in dat.
