Very funny TV show!

[einarsolsnes · 10/10 · 15 February 2024]

This got me laughing to my tears in every episode from 2 to 8. Martin Lepperød, you are a geunius!!

From when the contesters are about to guide an older person to login on a computer to somewhere on the Internett I never stope laughing of this series.

The ups and downs in Martins emotional journey in this series is incredible, he comes up with the funniest solutions during the show and it all seems to be very impulsive and not planned (like my review here). The actors also have this impression, and i'm never sure if this also is acting or real.

I was never sure about this beeing a reality show or planned acting by a script ;). Banebrytende tv.

Funny, thrilling and unique!

This is a wired but unique show! I have never seen a show where a man truly decives his friends - but does so with the best of intentions, intentions then gone wrong as he realizes to himself that he has gone too far.

There is a thrilling nerve to the show as one waits for the inevitable revelation. And the hole thing is comical - as the brilliant comedian Ole Soo realizes and is then laughing for the first time in a week and says: "was it all a lie?! That's actually funny!"

It's hard to at first believe that it all was not an act from the participants, but later interviews reveal that they were in fact a hole week in the blind and that their emotional response to Martin's "betrayal" was real.

It's also were funny that non of the participants have promoted the show on their social media profiles -except for Nora who had her debut on a reality show. They are most likely not too proud of their participation in this show, and this won't help their friend Martin in promoting it!

And it is even harder to believe that the NRK gave this show (and this crazy man) a green light and funding. But I'm glad they did, for this show is truly amazing and unique!

The only flaw of the show is its last episode, the aftermath where we meet Martin and his friend again some months later. Here Martin does the error of being in "character" again. He tries to talk to his friends as if the show was meaningful in of it self.

Here he clearly should have dropped the act and been real with is friends and let the audience know what their feelings and relationships were like now after the show.

All in all, well worth watching!
