“Bonus Family” a Swedish comedy drama on Netflix

[Movablefeast]

I just wanted to see if anyone else has watched this? I had never heard of it and stumbled across it on Netflix. It is SO GOOD! I binge watched the entire two seasons this week. As long as you don’t mind subtitles you should give it a whirl. It is recent 2017 & 2018. So many very famous Swedish actors and comedians of both sexes. The characters are very realistic and highly developed and I liked how honest and real the relationships between parents and children were. The humor was great as well, so many very funny situations and interactions that were also believable.

Has anyone watched it and wants to chat about Lisa and Patrik?

I also really like the bond between martins ex and current partner - how civilised they are

Yes it's really refreshing! All the characters are so well rounded.

Fired through the first season and halfway through the second.

I'm really struggling to like Lisa! I also don't like how they don't correct Eddie when he swears/is rude. Trying not to say more without giving spoilers!

Enjoying the series ...

Unfortunately, coming from SA, poes (kiss) is a derogatory term for a woman’s fanny ..

OP thank you for the recommendation. I have watched 3 episodes in a row this afternoon and love it.
Have been playing Spot the Scandi noir actor and have, so far, got Saga's mum (female therapist)and Rebecka Martinsson.
Tempted by a game of Absolut Bingo; chugging sipping from a tumbler shot glass of Swedish vodka each time one of the characters says it. (Perhaps not!)

Just finished the series

Spoiler alert! Right, my issue is that no one seemed to give a shit that Lo had been left in bed, in the house, on her own. So, big sister who left her in the first place didn't seem to get in trouble, boys obvs ended up in hospital and katje etc came to the house, took boys away to hospital but left Lo in bed? Or did I miss something?

ah yes, i thought perhaps they didnt know she was there?

i was yelling at the TV

I thought I was the only one who didn't like Lisa. She has no back bone and she's very petty. Her son is saying F you and she does nothing? It's gross.

It's back! And they've changed the katja actress
