I lovely story, realy. But the sarcasm-styled dialogue of the two older guys, was a bit over the top. It's like it was trying too hard, to get the points across. It made the acting staccato-like and abrupt. As if the whole dialogue was written for a cartoon. Perhaps not accidental, given the writers long, succesful career as a cartoonist. It just doesn't seem to work on screen here. I liked the contrast between the boomers and millenials. The millenial's acting was a lot better, and more natural, though. Lovely odysey, as it was. But a bit too simple and naive. Nuances and depth, would have helped.

With beautiful Portugal as a backdrop, Casper Christensen shows a new side of himself in this series, where the once "King Of Danish Comedy" shows sensitivity and a new depth, in interviews with prominent Danish celebrities. I am two episodes in, and I am definately sold. I am the same generation as CC, but were never realy a fan of his style at the time. So I didn't start watching this series, because I thought it would be more of that style. But to my supprize, he seems to have grown up and is now putting his talent for openmindedness into a more mature form. Unusual for men of our generation.

Heartfelt, honest and interesting. I realy like it.
