Strandhotellet

Every time I start viaplay, I see a reklam for this series.

I believed I was missing out on a good show, so i was convinced to watch it. And i was wrong. It was totally disappointing. I lost track of the story and my focus on what was happening. It seems more like a fashion show and casual meetings typical of Swedish lifestyle rather than anything special to get hooked on. Its not raw footage or a reality show like "Wahlgrens Värld," yet the atmosphere gives similar vibes but fails. I think this is due to the bad choice of cast. There are some great people in the show, but most of the rest are really bad at acting and they failed to deliver, such as Luka plus Elin. I couldn't stand watching them they are annoying and horrible sorry.

My advice: don't watch this show; it's very boring and dull. I will stick to top ten lists and ignore paid publicity like this.

Avoid, just avoid this show.

Yes, there are some decent actors, and a bunch of really bad actors, I can live with the mix of good/bad actors even if it is painful to watch.

The major problem is that the script was written, left to decompose, and all the possible good part was removed before the production started. It stinks!

There are more plot-holes in the script than in a Swedish road after a long winter. The characters are changing behaviour, doing the most strange things, almost as is they were having severe memory losses.

Even the "police" acts as if they are without any education at all. It's really bad.

Starting from Season 1 till 2 it was meeeh ok.

But season 3 episode 1 onwards it sunk.

Each episode each scence and plot was executed by irritating characters and none of it seemed credible at all.

Worst of all was Elin, she could have entered this year Paris Olympics for naivety and nonescense, she was as bad as the dancer Rachael Gunn, and yet she thinks she's the best at her jobb, wrong person in the wrong profession. How they hire these people?

It's like me trying to sing! And me don't want hear me sing because I'm that bad. Unfortunately these days people in charge have no standard and they make fools of themselves and the viewers.

They think of us viewers are so dumb and have no intelligence.

As for the story(?) if there was any! They crammed as many clichéd storylines in as they possibly could, but none of it seemed at all plausible or connected. Neither me or my wife understood anything.

My wife wanted to persevere and watch some episodes. This was a mistake as the whole thing just got worse and worse with more quick fire storylines that we have seen so many times before.

Finally we turned it off during episode 4 and it stayed off.

There is new further season (4). Lol Anyway, we shall not and we will not be watching.

Viktor.

I agree with other 1 star critics!!

I really wanted to stick with this show until the end to uncover the mystery, and I did, but it was a struggle. The acting was painfully bad, with Julie being the weakest link. Her performance was wooden, with a constant half-open mouth that made her look like Bella from Twilight, perpetually needing a bathroom break while trying to appear smart but failing.

This was frustrating enough, but kicking off this season by adding Morberg to the cast made it tremendously worse. The casting choices were atrocious, with Per being the only exception among the Morbergs who should stay AWAY from acting.

This is the worst Scandinavian show and cast I've ever seen. It felt like it was made for an audience with low standards. I also think watching Julie was a painful experience, though I did enjoy the couple from the reception and found Sherin cute. Despite this new (3rd) yet the worst season, I won't be watching. It's simply too painful and the plot is so prolonged and boring.

Nope. Truly sincerely toooooo painful to watch.

One actress or actor can make or break a film- show. I was okej and somewhat enjoying this show since previous seasons, but that changed when Elin appeared-I'm not even going to say even her real name, thats how How on earth do they handle casting? I have worked in this branch for over ten years, and things only go sour when they show up. Call it personal, but I will not pay half penny on such a terrible show with this very poor and unwise casting it was so bad I had to sign up an account to write a review. That' been said as well as I' will be canceling my subscription from viaplat as well because of this.
