This is worth watching
25 October 2023
I don't know any of the other actors, and I think they're great, all of them.

I do know and really love Stephen Fry.

I haven't ever suffered an eating disorder, nor has anyone close to me.

So I can't tell how realistic those parts of the series are.

I do know that 90% of those suffering from an ED do not have anorexia, and still almost 100% of tv shows, movies, documentaries about EDs are about only those 10% of sufferers. That's... just not right.

I did note that all of the characters were rich, that was quite strange/unusual.

Large, newly renovated, perfectly designed houses etc.

I only give a 9 or 10 rating to shows or movies that feel almost life changing, and this wasn't one of them, but I think it's really well done and for context I'm also a fan of Sex Education, Wednesday, Euphoria and Derry Girls.

The gross parts could have been shorter
10 October 2022
Except for the disgusting sea sickness parts, this is a really great movie. Yes, the grossness was important for the plot and the message the movie wants to put out there, but it was unbearable to watch for that long. I'm glad I was able to close my eyes and didn't have to cover my ears during that part to be able to remain in the salon, because there's also some great lines being delivered during that part, from the captain and the russian oligarch. But it really is a shame they put that part at the same time as the disgusting part, it was difficult to focus on that great dialogue during all that nausea that took place on screen.

So yes, the only critique I have is: the gross part went on for way too long. Still, I really do recommend everyone to see this movie.

I don't know if it matters but I figured I'd just mention it anyway, I'm Swedish.

In Treatment (2008–2021)

This show will always be amazing
9 June 2022
I've watched all the original seasons and when I saw there was a new season now, 10+ years later, with another actor, I was thinking "oh I hope this will be as good as the ones before but can it be?" I worried unnecessarily.

This show, seasons 1-4, incredible.

Hope Springs (2012)
8/10
Can't believe it only has a 6.3
7 April 2022
I saw it the first time 10 years ago when it came out, and I was 16. It was the first time ever I saw or heard people over 50 in combination with sex. Because of that, this movie was a big deal to me. It's also warm, genuine and striking, touching.

I watched it again today and yeah, it's an important movie I think.

I genuinely thought retirees didn't have sex. Sure a kiss on the cheek and a touch on the arm when passing each other, maybe cuddling before sleep. But I thought that when you became older for most people the lust and desire just vanished, like, physically.

Just want to say, this movie deserves a higher score than the 6.3 it currently has, and it, well, it springs hope.

Brad's Status (2017)
8/10
I'm happily surprised
1 October 2021
To be honest I judged this movie even before I started watching it just because Ben Stiller is the main character.

I watched anyways and I found it just like meh in the beginning.

But I'm telling you, give this movie a chance. It actually really touched me and it started feeling serene and well, important. Not an exaggeration.

I feel like this will be a movie for me to re-watch every couple of years and I'm also going to recommend it to my parents (they're the same age as Ben Stillers character)

The only disappointment: the app doesn't exist irl
12 July 2021
Loved the series, loved to watch a polish series :) I'm Swedish and spoiled with being able to watch series where everyone speaks English without subtitles. But I love to watch series and films from other countries too, recently did on the Gothenburg Film Festival which was digital last year.

American series and movies are everywhere and you can only watch so many before you get tired of well... americans. English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Australian series are usually better, but it's a real shame to miss out on the rest of the world because you like being spoiled with a language you understand and no need to follow along in the subtitles.

Would have loved this show wherever it came from, it's light but also goes deep at times. The subject is just A++. I'm so disappointed the app doesn't exist in real life...

In my opinion, unbreakable is a 6/7, split a 7/8 and glass a 8/9. Loved this film, didn't disappoint me one bit.

The negative reviews are so exaggerated
11 January 2021
I had no idea they were dancers who learned how to act for this show, some of them if not most of them are great. I really like this show, and many of the characters are truly interesting and develop in a lot of different ways through the episodes.

I like the different story lines, following the ballet dancers and also the police officer, etc.

I want at least 3 seasons of this, for sure.

Would give it 8/10 but since some people love being so critical, I'm giving it a 10/10 to boost the ratings a little.

The Stranger (I) (2020)
6/10
Worth a watch
7 November 2020
It's quite good. All the twists together are quite silly. So many twists it seems forced at times. Some cliches during the whole series. It is exciting though, following all the different people and twists.

All in all worth watching if you want to see something with suspense but that won't at all leave you wrecked like some of the really good mystery series can.

I kind of liked this series from the beginning but not a lot. I'm at episode 5 now and wow. It reeaally grows on you. So if you're at the beginning and a little bored, give it a couple more episodes.

Dead to Me (2019–2022)

Might be worth a watch
10 September 2020
But honestly, so many of the reviews are sooo overhyped. This series is soooo fkn American in the most annoying way. It's worth your time if you just like watching something brain dead but with a little more tension. I'm so annoyed with their crying faces like... ?

Brain on Fire (2016)
7/10
Worth watching
30 August 2020
Don't expect a masterpiece. And just watch, it's worth your time. I wish it would have been more in depth, less Hollywood-ish, more informative. But still, since it is the way it is, that means a lot of people who wouldn't watch a heavy informative movie about very rare diseases, will watch this. That's not to be underestimated.

And people who will want more after this movie will read the book and google the research etc. So. Yeah.

Just watch it.

Michaela Coel. Wow.
19 August 2020
I remember when Chewing Gum turned up on Netflix and I was like alright. This seems cute, let's try. Such a funny series. So I was like wow Michaela Coel is a great actress. Then I was like whaaat she also made this tv-series?? I was impressed.

She is my favourite. All around. And this series is heavy but also cute and fun and just, all of it. Great. Can't wait for more from Michaela Coel.

The fact that people can't enjoy this is sad
7 November 2019
I saw the whole season 1 on one day and just started season 2 tonight. This is an interesting, entertaining, funny, exciting, scary show.

I have no idea how people can complain about it.

Series that have episodes that don't connect are rare and series that have only one single connection in each episode (the location) are unheard of.

Can't believe people are disappointed in this
21 June 2019
It touched my heart deeply. To me this short documentary is about the two priests who are both citizens of their different towns but also the ones who have as their work to hold the community in grief together. I don't understand the negative comments because this is a documentary about two priests in two towns that have had school shootings. Nothing else.

Wish it was more in depth
21 June 2019
Very important documentary. Would have been great with added interviews with the Swedish migration center and politicians. It felt so hopeless seeing those children and feeling like yes this documentary informed us about this but what if it could have actually made a difference politically?
