    Funny and charming, much better than the US remake

    Every episode our antihero enbarks on a new adventure.

    Funny, charming, slightly surreal

    And much better than the US remake of the same ame,which is overproduction and maddingly convoluted IMHO.

    Warmly engages with difficult subjects of mental health

    The behaviour of people you occasionally come across with mental health difficulties is sympathetically dealt with in this warm series.

    Who wouldn't want to be Espen?

    Likeable Espen has gone a little mad and chooses to live locked in his own fantasy world where he is the undisputed hero kept very busy saving the world from evil. In his imaginary world he is worshipped and waited upon by lesser mortals - played by the hospital staff in often very amusing cameos - which makes for some fun scenes where Espens' world and "reality" collide. We are often left wondering whether sanity is all it's cracked up to be when facing up to reality is so bleak for so many.

    Maniac (2014) is a gentle and likeable comedy and well worth a watch before seeing what Netflix will do with the American version of the show.

    Dull and lame

    I have now tried 2 times to watch this series and continue to find it very boring. I have absolutely no sympathy for the protagonists. it's not funny, it just annoys me.

    remarkably unfunny childish comedy

    The character is on one level a mental patient in a secure facility, but in his imagination a spy, solider etc... the trouble is this format is highly constrained to childish and crude plots of his imagination as we switch from reality to his imagination constantly. Literally like watching a 5 year olds imagination. Maybe good for under 10s to watch. Totally unfunny for adults.
