Beautiful setting and good storyline breadth
22 April 2024
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.
