This is not Jönssonligan. Unfathomably bad
27 December 2020
Surely the original Jönssonligan movies were family entertainment, but why reboot the franchise as entertainment that only children could possibly appreciate?

Henrik Dorsin is a genius actor/comedian but clearly he should not be behind the camera. With this and "Åsa-Nisse: Wälcom to Knohult" on his belt, he too must see that it is time to call it quits as a screenwriter.

Thomas Alfredsson is someone else I held great respect for before witnessing this travesty. The "Bert" series was amazing for instance. But perhaps he has brought too much of the kids entertainment from that into the rest of his work.

The creators have clearly misunderstood what Jönssonligan is (was), as is evident by the seriously miscast actors (especially Vanheden and Dynamit-Harry).

Apparently Alfredsson was upset that this went straight to streaming/TV. In my book however, it should not have been shown at all. Let's just hope that they will get the gist and cancel any plans for continuation of the rebooted (butchered) franchise.
