oh my GOSH. this… this show. ever since i watched it two weeks ago, it’s been stuck in my head. i can’t explain how much it means to me. others here have said it well already, i’m just adding my review to help the rating go up even higher so we can get a season 2. this show was so vulnerable, fragile, and raw. several times, i had to remind myself that it’s just a work of fiction, because it almost felt like a documentary a lot of the time. the glances, the expressions, the smallest moments, they’re all so well done. as somebody with anxiety, i get panic attacks often, and the way wilhelm reacted in the show whenever he got one, was so realistic and made me feel so seen. the actor, edvin ryding, said that he used his own experiences with anxiety to portray things as well as he could, and i think he did amazing. i applaud the cast and crew for their hard work, dedication, passion, and undeniable talent. the two main characters’ actors also seem to be amazing people, i follow them on social media and they have been doing so much lately to make lgbtq+ people feel safe, valid, and accepted. waiting for season 2, Netflix, or else… i’ll cancel my account! (just kidding… or am i?)
ALSO, SHAME ON AUGUST. but we love you malte, you portrayed august really well lol
