This is it. The ultimate teen depiction, its so realistic is creepy.

Being the same age as the characters on the show I can say that this one is as close as it gets. Not only is the screenwriting and acting absolutely top notch, but the photography and the editing style as well as "dramaturgy" also is. Each episode is very thought through making them extremely secure in style, form and content are completely united, absolutely remarkable achievement by Cilla Jackert and the others who made this.

The second season is even better than the first one!

Thank you Swedish television!

Spung is the greatest drama-series i've ever seen. The dialog between the teenagers is just those things we discuss in school. The thing that makes the series so good, 1.It's dogma 2.The weather always raining,the rain makes the luck-feeling between the teenager much stronger.You watch the series and wish you had a life like that. 3.The director has made an incredible job 4.The characters is SO cool,nice,I can't express them in words And I'm glad SVT at last realized they had to make some fresh series. The sad thing is that Spung never will be released on DVD or show one more time,all this because the music-rights are to expensive. only master of puppets with metallic is 1 million SEC. My favorite character is Kim Bruback(played by Daniel Larson)he's just so god he's just the friend you never had,stupid,fun,and what else could i say,and Petra is very god to,she have a band "Fittan Reclaim The name" 10 of 10 And any one who sass something else is just a complete moron Spung rules Got damn good so good you cant say anything else.god just so nice the best like Muhammad Ali

The acting may seem improvised at times, but that only contributes to the realistic feeling of teenagers having teenage conversations. I saw the show as I was in the exactly same time of life as the characters and it was frightening how much their reality resembled my own. We were always about five people watching it and the TV screen felt like a mirror every time. Amazing I say.

The picture in Spung is very raw, and almost similar as dogma films. At the time it was produced, the acting crew was quite unknown. The content in Spung is timeless, because it does not follow a certain story. It reflects human relations, but apart from other relation dramas it is done in a truly honest and poetic way, sometimes surrealistic. The clipping is lovely, playful and amazing. The soundtrack is great, with mostly unsigned music and always varying, depending on the episode's theme. Spung is the Swedish answer to "six feet under" concerning the manuscript, and concerning the picture Spung is not far from "requiem for a dream" - even though Spung was made first! Certanley does Spung not touch all types om people (I did write it's honest), rather a minority such as people who interests themselves of humanity and who prefer living in a reality and not in a plastic world. I wish to see Spung on DVD so that people outside Sweden can enjoy this masterpiece too.

SPUNG is absolutely the best series/movies about youths ever made..in Sweden. Its pure realistic, the dialouge is genuine and the characters feels like real persons. Nothing like the politically correct characters in Staffan Hildebrands b-movies G, Stockholmsnatt, Ingen kan älska som vi and so on. The soundtrack is great, the look of the series is also great and the actors and actresses does a very nice job portraying the funny characters. My favourite is Kim since he is the most fun character. A typical partyloving animal who talks a lot, is straight forward and childish but not stupid. Just childish.

If you ever get the chance to lay your hands on SPUNG you better take it or else you will definitively miss something great. If you watch the entire series you should prepare with some napkins since the ending of season 2 is really really sad.

Too bad it was never released on VHS/DVD.
