The characters are unbelievable and, frankly, annoying. Their actions are only motivated to create these awkward and embarrassing comedy storylines which start and get resolved in each episode.
And the idea is good, a slice of life comedy in the archipelago of Stockholm, showcasing relatable situations like dealing with neighbours and living with family. But the way the characters act is exhausting to watch. They lie, over react and do the dumbest things. For example "oh we accidentally drank my father's 50 year old wine which he was saving for his 75th birthday? The only logic thing to do now is stage a burglary". The situations which are meant to be funny just feel forced as the characters has to bend over backwards to enable these events to happen.
The actors are okay, I suppose. The main cast are usually okay but it isn't uncommon for the minor roles are weird and awkward. And that is an issue which is consistent throughout the show, it is hard to tell if it is the actors who are being weird or if the characters are meant to be this way.
The scenery however is beautiful. The nature is fantastic and they do a good job capturing it. The interior is also splendid and helps in building the characters as their personality is mirrored in the interior of the homes of the characters. The lightning is usually good, with some exceptions like a scene filmed at night without any light sources which makes it difficult to follow the characters in the scene.
Personally I am not a fan of comedy which relies on making the viewer feel second-hand embarrassment and rarely think it is executed well, in this show I don't think it is executed well. Personally I would love to never see another episode of this series and hopefully I won't have to. I haven't watched all seasons, nor an entire season and I an not plan on doing so. I have watched random episodes from all seasons and my mind is made up, this series is not for me.

I would personally not call this a horror movie, more of a drama and biographic movie, but with quite a lot of suspense. I watched the movie before I read the graphic novel but I was mesmerized on how accurate the book was transformed into the movie, mainly with locations and the personalities of the characters.
Most of the characters are well developed both in the book and the movie, the problems are a few characters in the movie which are just thrown in, they don't really fill a purpose, only taking attention from the actually important characters and the storyline. Of course theses characters with no follow ups could be a product of the modern days director's fear of making movies too long but rather a well developed story which are a few minutes longer than a short movie with a chopped up story.
The look of the movie is exceptional though. I really enjoyed the 70's aesthetic of the movie, with a few exceptions such as the pen and car mistakes which are mentioned in Goofs part in the Did You Know? section here on IMDb. But the over all look is really, really great. The sound was very well mixed and the lightning was for the most parts really well lit and suited the scene, on a few occasions the scenes were a bit dark but also had many scenes with really great lightning.
The characters are, as mentioned earlier, for the most part really well developed. The main characters are amazingly portrayed by the actors and they do a really good job at transferring the characters in the book into the movie. On of the scenes which struck me the most is the scene when Dahmer and Dave are watching TV. And their personalities are very well mirrored in their movements and facial expressions.
Over all I would definitely recommend this movie to someone who would be interested in the back story of Jeffrey Dahmer's cruel crimes. I would recommend the graphic novel over the movie though to someone who is interested in a story which values the actual occurrences rather than a story which values entertainment. The movie is still following the graphic novel pretty closely though, it is a good movie but it is not a horror movie.
