More weird than funny, but very funny

Warning: Spoilers
It doesn't quite go where one expects. Without spoiling anything, whether this is a good twist, depends on how weird and absurd you like your comedy. If you don't already know the people behind this, and aren't familiar with this sort of humor, you might find yourself bored. The main attraction is the portrayal of the painfully dull hamsterwheel of being trapped in the ordinary, with a life and a family you can't stand, in a house you're sick of, in a town you can't wait to leave. It gets more weird than funny, and don't expect some profound morality tale buried here.

Myself, I was crying with laughter a few times during some of the episodes, and found myself grinning over Helved's ending several days after. These guys' sense of humor is wonderfully demented.

Well, there are a bunch of number reviews for this, and it looks like people didn't like it....well, I thought it was an interesting concept for a comedy and it wasn't bad at all. I gave it a 9 to compensate for some of the apparent 2's or 4's. So, there are no real likable characters in this, and it is a bit hard to understand. But, the dynamics between the characters, their quirky behaviors and the interesting premise made it an enjoyable show for me. It also has unusual times, a couple episodes are 16 minutes or so, one is about 12 minutes, so, at least you wouldn't have to invest a gigantic amount of time to give it a go. As a Scandinavian, I appreciate the characters and find them and the story entertaining and pretty funny! Hopefully, you might as well.
