Kapningen (2023– )

Jonas Karlsson only reason to watch

[4/10 · 5 April 2023]

This is very slow. After the first couple of episodes, I was ready to give up, but I was hoping it would find some pace - unfortunately it doesn't. I only stayed with it since I like anything with Jonas Karlsson.

Feels like they are trying to use the popularity of STHLM Requiem to segway into a genre they don't master. It doesn't work for me.

Also, casting Jeroen Van der Ven as an American is just ridiculous. His American accent isn't quite good enough. Surely, there are enough American actors around for that not to be necessary?

Jonas Karlsson doesn't disappoint but he can't save this one. Glad this is over.

Love Me (2019–2020)

Best swedish output in years

[10/10 · 10 June 2021]

This is one of the best Swedish productions I have ever seen. The tone and frankness, straightforwardness of the dialogue is refreshing and comforting. The casting and the acting is among the best I have seen a swedish production company achieve in years. I am full of admiration, well done Josephine Bornebusch, spot on! As a a swede abroad since more than 20 years, I sure appreciate a good quality scandi production. Loved to see some of the "old guard" Johan U and Görel C, Maria L. Some of the newer, Sverrir, Nina and Gustav and to me a fresh one (but that could be because I live abroad) Josephine Bornebusch - you are absolutely sensational, what a treat. You are like the Swedish answer to Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Absolutely wonderful. Want more.
