Lust

This is a lame attempt to bring a bunch of aging Swedish actresses together in a French Farce type series, but with Swedish humor. American TV has done this many times over, and there's a limit to the number of times one can repeat this formula. The acting is mediocre and the poor editing results in scenes being randomly stuck together in a chaotic manner. The whole PC humor does not translate well across cultures. It's entertaining enough to watch when there is little else in ones streaming queue.

Fun. Quirky. Swedish. Sisters, their friends, their boyfriends and husbands. Hilarious ongoing antics between spouses, friends. Dealing with work, social life, sex life. To cheat or not to cheat. The parents barge in on the kids... the kids barge in on the parentals. Very frank discussions of sex, sexuality, families, dating. And definitely not for the younger children! Funny bits, mixed in with some serious stuff. Directed by ella lemhagen; she's done a bunch of tv and film, and won numerous film fest awards.

Being a US-born non-Swedish middle-aged man, this show was a total gamble for me... but it worked out and I really liked it. I haven't seen the theme of middle-aged women struggling to come to terms with their sexuality addressed in quite this style. The show reminds me a bit of Netflix's Working Moms but with a Scandinavian flavor, more warmth, and less ridiculousness.

It was great to get to see the Sweden-based settings and exposure to Svensk (with English subs -- you just need to turn them on).

I thought the acting was quite good and the characters and plot were interesting... if not totally believable. Still... it all works to bring an interesting story together. If the show is renewed for another season, I will watch it.

For all of you saying there are no subtitles, you are incorrect. You just have to know how to turn them on. Mine came up in Swedish with English subtitles immediately. Check your settings. A fun HBO MAX romp.

I had this in my watch list on HBO Max for a while and forgot about it. This weekend I noticed it again and watched the first episode. It was very good! (despite having to read subtitles, which I generally hate)

Then when HBO Max tried to play the next episide it failed with a very strange error. After that it was gone from my watchlist and I can no longer find it on HBO Max either on the web site or the app.

Does anyone know what happened? Did HBO Pull this already with no notification? I can't find any articles online about this, but many about the debut in March.
