I mean, come on - judging a comedy by how believable it is... and you do the same with science fiction? Action flicks?
No, quess not.
But it is over the top, and they do lie about everything, all the time, and as long its delievered with style its funny.
To get a full score, some jokes should be more clever.

Finally Sweden did it. The first actuall funny comedian TV series in all times. Before Swedish movies / series have not been so good. They only had Police series that where very good. But it's finally came a series that is actually funny. The show kind of show you NOT to LIE. It get's you in difficult consequences as you may see in the show. The actors make their character perfect and where whey came to film this series is a very cozy place! Keep going with this series i hope it will last a very long time!
Go Sweden! :D.

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.
