Flykten till Östermalm

Flykten till Östermalm" is a remarkable Swedish series that effortlessly combines elements of mystery, drama, and humor to create an unforgettable viewing experience. Özz and the old lady and wife is so funny.

The series is set in the beautiful district of Östermalm (rich neighborhood) in Stockholm, this show takes its audience on an enthralling journey, filled with captivating characters, unexpected twists, and a refreshing take on the Swedish television landscape. With its brilliant writing, exceptional performances, and stunning production values, "Flykten till Östermalm" is a true gem that deserves all the praise it receives. It is a must-watch series that successfully blends genres, delivers captivating storytelling. It keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, craving to see more episodes.

2 episodes in and I love it! This is a fantastic Swedish comedy! Or should I say Scanian comedy? It mocks stereotypes, exaggerates them and plays with small, local, ques in the dialog. This is not a block-buster type of show, it's on the same spectrum as "Starke man" and parts of "Hipp-Hipp". It's not meant to be "believable", it's meant to be recognizable from the perspective of your prejudices. It's very much written be souther Swedes for them, but them, and should be treated as such.

Anders Jansson is as always a fantastic actor. It should be enough that he's in the show for most people, familiar with Swedish entertainment, to know that it's going to make you laugh!

The series maintains the lowest quality in everything. It focuses on platitudes delivered by a often roaring Özz Nujden with awkward jokes on the theme "you may misunderstand me but I may misunderstand you so then we complete each other." Some of the other actors maintain a slightly higher quality, but it is not enough to elevate the series to something sought after. The scenery and filming is deplorable, it feels like everything is confined to one and the same house or studio, which in turn reinforces the feeling that you have seen all the episodes if you have seen one.

Season one wasn't worth any time and season two I personally won't give a chance.

I started watching this series although the critics absolutely hates the show and gave it terrible reviews. What? The critics must have Zero sense of humour and be blinded by political correctness.

This is a very refreshing, charming and fun series that more people should discover. I recommend it to anyone with an open mind.

The series makes fun of prejudice about immigrants and snobby people living in the most elegant part of Stockholm.

Having lived there myself I think the Östermalm characters are spot on. It's also refreshing to watch Kennedy, the main character and his wife. She's the brainy one, and he's so very proud of her, not threatened at all. A real role model for you men out there.

Very funny Swedish humor with reasonable characters. But it is original languages that apply if you are to understand the extremely funny. But also need to have some knowledge of the suburbs and the upper class, in Sweden.

I wanted to give a much higher rating but some pathetic genius has ruined by occasional episodes of senseless and vulgar language.

Get rid of this vulgar nonsense and the series is fantastically funny and relevant.

Everyone in the family is really good while the rest are of varying quality. Sometimes they seem to bring in friends instead of good actors.

Stop with the offensive language and use only good actors even for the supporting roles and this will be great again.
