One of my random picks at the BFI London Film Festival, didn't really know anything about it going in, and was surprised to find it was actually a HBO Europe TV series, rather than a film.
The performance we saw featured 4 episodes out of 12, with notes to explain the characters we discovered that had originated in episodes we'd not seen.
A Swedish comedy-drama, about a TOO nice guy who can't say no to anyone in need, while also working as a child psychologist, it follows his life in a small town he's moved to for work, and the individuals who pass through.
The show seemed to be a reflection of director Lukas Moodysson who appeared for a Q&A afterwards, and captured underlying dark themes, but with brilliant sharp witty humour which seemed to help as a coping mechanism for this own personal demons.
Littered with joyful moments, cringe-worthy scenes, and heartfelt compassion, it looks like it'll be a great little show which I'll certainly look out for on Streaming services.
