Very smart and hilarious

[Nebras_salheb · 10/10 · 19 February 2023]

If you're looking for a unique and hilarious show to watch, "The Stockholms" is definitely worth checking out! From the creators of "Cyanide and Happiness", this comedy series takes a fresh approach to a classic hostage situation.

The show centers around a bank robber who finds himself trapped in a bank with a group of hostages who eventually become like a family to him. The dynamic between the characters is both funny and heartwarming, and the writing is top-notch.

One of the things that sets "The Stockholms" apart is its ability to balance humor and drama. While there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, the show also tackles serious issues like mental health and personal growth. The characters are all flawed in their own ways, but watching them grow and change over the course of the series is truly satisfying.

The acting is also fantastic, with each cast member bringing their own unique energy to the show. The chemistry between the characters feels authentic and genuine, making it easy to become invested in their story.

Overall, "The Stockholms" is a hilarious and heartwarming show that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something fresh and fun to watch. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

Funny enough, the ending was hilarious

The Stockholms is a series made by the creators of cyanide and happiness. So, does it hold up to cyanide and happiness?

No. Not even close. But I will give it this. It seemed like the whole series was a lead up to a joke (the ending) and it was just one really long bit with jokes sprinkled here and there. Not to say the rest of the show isn't funny, but with it's 40 minute runtime, the entire series just wants to show you the ending, because it was actually pretty funny. Just know that it's a very, very strange series, and most of it isn't as funny as other things they've done, and you're set for a fine time.
