Mittsommernacht

Being a big fan of all kinds of Scandi productions and Amalia Holm as well I really enjoyed episodes 1-4 of "Midsummer Night". But the last episode kind of ruined it for me because of the enforced harmony at the end. After all what happened that was far from believable.

The visuals of "Midsummer Night" are stunning, the cast in parts stellar, esp. Pernille August, Dennis Storhoi and said Amalia Holm, who certainly could have more played free with a stronger acting partner. All in all "Midsummer Night" is worth to watch, touching a lot of questions about what you really want to do with your life. Wish they had had more time to enfold the story instead of 30 minutes per episode.

I'd love to give them 10/10, but had to lower my rating because of the last episode.

... way all the storylines get tidied up nice and neatly at he ending is okay, if just a bit unrealistically-boring... it's well-done-acted-fun in Norway, just a bit more bite would have made it better

... one critic's review summing it pretty well.. "(were) this a longer show, there'd be time to understand the characters, find favorites, and support them in their finest glory, but with five episodes, there isn't really any emotional impact. Though the show does attempt to bring to the forefront the idiosyncrasies of each member present, it kind of leaves you a little bit unsatisfied. However, I will admit that the cast is fantastic, and each member brings nuanced performances and stands out individually. Still, it's a formulaic drama that has your betrayals, guilt, and misunderstandings to make it entertaining rather than feeling like you're watching a boring old family gathering."

... definitely worth a watch, just don't expect much from all the hectic-proceedings.

The series starts off during the joyful festivities of Midsummer Night in the beautiful backdrop of Norway.

This show begins with the parents with one looming secret, however it turns out that it is full of plot twists, secrets and complexities every family seems to encounter in real life.

Many times you will question the character's motives and actions and will want to know what happens next.

Compelling stories throughout the 5 episodes, and I am hoping for a second season so we can see these characters and their stories continue so lingering questions can be answered

Highly recommend seeing the diversity of characters Amalia Holm plays in such shows as Motherland Fort Salem, Delete Me, Alena and Playground.

5 episodes. 30 mins per episode. Finished all in one seating. It felt like 300 eps of Lifetime Soap Opera family drama condensed into a 2.5hr movie, which I absolutely appreciate and love about it.

Everyone has their share of things going on, in which you find out one after another. Everyone has their own flaws. Every bit of their struggle is so relatable - it makes you think "what would you have done if you were in their shoes?" and I love such shows.

It truly is an evening of big confessions. Love the casting choices and hope to see more of Amalia.

A midsummer night filled with drama and ends with love.

The series starts off with a dramatic scene full of tension that sets the tone for the rest of the show.

It's full of plot twists, secrets and complexities we face as human beings in real life too.

All of this comes to light during the joyful festivities of Midsummer Night in the beautiful Norway.

You'll have some foreshadowing here and there that you'll pick up a hint or two that'll make you think, hmm that is probably linked to this or that and that makes you want to keep watching until you know it all.

Compelling stories, an even more interesting end with yet many questions left unanswered, hoping on a second season so we can see these characters their stories continued.

Because there is so much more to explore for these characters and their stories that were told in these 5 episodes.
