Season 1 was pretty good. Not great, but it had some interesting characters, a few mysteries and surprises, and a genuine dilemma-should the heroine be loyal to her sleazy, drug-dealing family members, despite the fact that they are endangering her and her kids, or cooperate with police?

Sadly, while the dilemma of Season 1 had some internal logic, Season 2 completely "jumps the shark" and defies plausibility. By Episode 3, you may want to through your remote at the TV screen.

You would have to have complete amnesia about Season 1 to believe the behavior of the characters in Season 2. I wish they had just ended the series. Or if it had to keep going, start over with a completely fresh and different situation rather than asking us to accept absurd plot developments. I have no idea what Season 3 or 4 are like, because I just couldn't get past Season 2.

The casting was good. The swede's delivered all over pretty good. Rapaport is excellent as always!

The casting of the kids could have been better! Nina was great though.

"Gåsmamman," a gripping Swedish thriller series, follows the story of Sonja, a mother who finds herself navigating the dangerous underworld after her criminal husband is killed. The show excels in character development, portraying Sonja's transformation from a sheltered woman to a fierce protector of her family. The writing is sharp, filled with unexpected twists that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The performances, especially by lead actress Alexandra Rapaport, are powerful and nuanced. The cinematography beautifully captures the tension and emotional depth of the story. While it delves into dark themes, it also highlights resilience and the complexities of motherhood, making it a must-watch for thriller enthusiasts.

Simple, complex, exciting and moving; all of it this series. Wish for a fifth season, and for many people to give it a go. Brilliant!!
