Disregarding reviews from «top critics» in different medias, we started to watch «Midtsommernatt» in Netflix. It was quite late, so we decided to see just one episode. However, after episode 1, we were hooked... we continued. Then all of a sudden, we finished all 5 episodes!
«Midtsommernatt» is definitely worth watching. The cinematography is beautiful, the casting is perfect, the music is good, storyline is simple yet compelling and I love the way the series «grow» from start to end.
There is no doubt , Pernilla August is an excellent actress. Once again, she's amazing here as Carina. Nonetheless, the entire cast lends her a wonderful support with their lovable rendition of each character they play. Especially Sofia Tjelta who is remarkable as Helena. She is lovely to watch! I don't want to be unfair to Amalia Holm. She did a great job too as Hanne.
Hats off to the director and thanking him for making a TV-series which is entertaining yet quite relatable to the viewers.
