Home for Christmas

I am so happy I found this! Its Scandinavian (Norwegian) short series about a girl and the pressure that is being put on her. She is 30 and "boyfriendless", which in her families eyes means that she is incomplete. The quest to prove to her family that she is "normal" and has a boyfriend by the family Christmas dinner time begins!

There is clearly the "Love actually" influence there and you better love that movie too!

The ending will leave you restless! I hope Netflix will create more European series/movies like this!

p.s. dear English speaking people - please watch this with original sound and subtitles, not dubbed. Sincerely, you need to learn another language ;)

After trying to find a good watch for Christmas, this is, after the usual US cliche bs which made nearly my eyes fall out from all the eyerolling, finally a nice little series with believable and likeable characters and story.

Yes it's possible, a good story without time traveling knights and laughtracks.

Thank you Norway.

Actually quite good and charming. Norwegian feel good. The dubbed version is awful

Such a beautiful, sad, happy, cracy and unexpected story. I loved it! One to watch! Well done Norway <3

The series is basically a one lady show, who is, as a friend of her said: "lovely, weird, funny, crazy, most unpredictable, naive and romantic in the entirety of planet Earth". Johanne's role is so well played that it's difficult not to laugh, cry, suffer, enjoy, feel depressed together with her. Ida Elise Broch, as well as the script, are superb.
