There’s been a lot of intrigue surrounding Dance Brothers, the first original Finnish series ordered at Netflix.
Created and produced by Max Malka of Banijay’s Endemol Shine Finland, the show is the first co-production between Netflix and Finland’s national broadcaster Yle and boasts a unique two-part release. It dropped worldwide on Netflix, including Finland, on May 10 and will receive a second local premiere on Yle.
“It was an organic win, win situation in the sense that Yle is the only broadcaster who commissions young adult content, and for them to be able to widen the genre, scope, and production value of projects, you need investment,” Malka told Deadline shortly before the show’s Netflix debut.
The series follows two brothers, Roni (Roderick Kabanga) and Sakari (Samuel Kujala), as they struggle to make a living as professional dancers. To help finance their dance dreams, they decide to start their own club,...

Video game power-ups are a familiar enough concept to a mass media-consuming public that Aaron Horvath's and Michael Jelenic's new film "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" doesn't bother to explain it for a second. If you consume a power-up, you're granted temporary superpowers. In terms of real-world physics, power-ups make about as much sense as, say, trapping a monster inside of a spit bubble, slamming them against the wall, and watching them magically transform into fruit (the premise of Taito's 1986 video game "Bubble Bobble"). But video games have been dictating their own surreal inner logic for decades, and audiences will readily accept any scenario.
In "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," the only primer that audiences are given regarding power-ups is when Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) explains to Mario (Chris Pratt) that floating metal boxes, festooned with question marks, contain power-ups that can be freed by punching them.
