This is a well written, funny version of "Modern Family". Because it is set in a different culture, it has its own originality. If you are not familiar with Scandinavian culture and their way of thinking, you probably may not relate well to the plot. The story revolves around a family of "exes", who have changed partners and are trying to make the change in family life and dynamics a workable one. There is the attempt to maintain old relationships so as not to radically change the family dynamics, all this while trying to make new relationships work. The acting is very good, and the issues associated with each character really comes through....no holds barred! The sexually liberated themes may not sit well with more prudish audiences but it is a reality in that culture where sexual activity and education starts early, and is regarded as a natural bodily function that is openly discussed. The subtitle translation is well done in "modern" English, and this fits well with the current way of conversing in today's world. Overall, it's a great series and I hope there will be a second season shown here in the US.
