Threesome

Menage à trois or triolism here seen through some (but not all) Scandinavian eyes

In French cinema there are countless numbers of joyful life-affirming examples of movies where it all is depicted as a great bonding loving exercise

• here not so much.🙂🙃😉

OKay so a French girl in fact Alma Jodorowsky the granddaughter of director Alejandro Jodorowsky has to be used as the tin opener; because we take it Northern Protestants do not do things of that depraved nature ....🙃

• But the kicker here is that the main actress here is the one who kickstarted the menage

• then of course and to corroborate every cliche non-Scandinavians have of Scandinavians she goes into an industrial-strength blue funk and BLAMES her reluctant partner for the event and fall-out including the shakiness of their superannuated high-school tryst

I am convinced a lot of young Swedes will be appalled at that; I would wager they do not take it all SOOOOOOOOO seriously

Overall mildly entertaining if a bit TOO effin miserable most of the time, Grimy London does not help; felt sorry for the boyfriend all the way through

Treat yourself to how it is properly done watch. Los rompepelotas (1974) or César et Rosalie (1972) That is how you do it. You do not bleat afterwards 😉😉

PS just watched the second season and then it gets very dull and grim all fun is removed ...

The depth behind this story is easily missed if you haven't been in the same dilemma as its portraying. Being someone who haven't learned to stay on your own two feet, torn between the security of an almost Co dependent relationship, and on the other side being with someone who has developed their individuality and giving you the glimpse of what that is like.

The fear of becoming your own person is holding people back i believe, staying in relationships which are not fulfilling, and in the process hurting your partner by your lack of authentic commitment. You are with them out of fear, not out of an authentic decision that this is the person you really want to be with.

This is a foundational dilemma in the human condition and people fall into the trap of finding security in other people all the time, specially when getting into a relationship while being younger.

Fantastic observation ability of the manus writers and actors in trying to portray something that's scary and relevant for many people, and the acting is very well done.

A shockingly great series, one that came from nowhere and I was stucked and hooked throughout its eight-part storyline. Everything works wonderfully and the mix of languages (sweedish, french and english) and cultures are rich. The plot is way, way much better than expected and evolves into a deeper, engaging character arc that can be related to many real lives out there. Matilda Källström is a total revelations to me, I will keep posted on her from now on. Her talent must be discovered. Totally recommended!

The whole things start with the main couple going to a bar. Than meeting up with someone, and from there going to party. As the night progress, the Girl Siri instigate a threesome. Her boyfriend While quite reluctant about it, he ends up going along with the idea.

Than the morning after his girlfriend Siri, has sobered up and feels jealous and insecure about he whole ordeal.

It's here the real drama of the series start.

Chemistry between the two actors who play Siri & David Doesn't really feel real. They come off a bit too much, as an onscreen couple. Fore someone who's been together 7 years I expect more natural chemistry. More floating dialogue and movement. Everything seem so directed,and scripted.

It often lacks the chemistry people who've been together, for a long time have . Especially young couples.

But the acting isn't bad, by any means. It's just everything feels so constructed, the dialogue the interactions etc.

Although the episodes are too short, I am enjoying it.

Never mind the short dialogues, nobody recites Shakespiere in real life.

You just talk when you need to and that is it.

The acting is good. It centers mostly on Siri and John, because David doesn not talk much.

I am trying to find out whether there are more than eight episodes in the first season ... and if there is a fourth.
