30° i februari (2012)
Dull and highly unrealistic
It staggers me that some people reviewing this show here consider it at all realistic or even entertaining. I've stuck with '30 Degrees In February' (as it's called here in the UK) for I guess eight episodes now and I find it more and more irritating, the longer it goes on.
I have no sympathy at all with the Swedish mother and her two daughters. None. The mother is a certifiable lunatic, the older daughter is a potential murderess and the younger daughter a latent arsonist. Why should we feel any sympathy for any of them? - they are all truly hateful characters.
Majlis has a slightly more interesting storyline - but again, it's hard to feel any sympathy for her given her own actions. She seems - despite the obvious cruelty of her late husband - to be pathologically unhinged.
Glenn's naivety beggars belief and ruins the show's one intriguing storyline. He's gullible, dimwitted and a bit of an ugly drunk. Again, empathy quotient: nil.
Add in a plot so unrealistic, so full of frankly ludicrous holes and convenient coincidence and I'm afraid the whole thing adds up to a terrible missed opportunity.
I like the show's theme, though. So that's something.
