Midsummer Night may have a few too many stories to service in five short episodes, but the family at the show’s center is one we want to spend time with, which helps a lot. Go to Full Review

mik k @mikkie Jan 29 a very intriguing and gently provoking, drama. The magnificence of the steadfast Nordic scenery belies the problematic instability of the human condition. In a nutshell without giving too much away, there are several different stories taking place some of which the viewer is privy to and others which unfold as the drama unfolds. All of these stories collect in the middle of the midsummer celebration lunch where the tension threatens and erodes the very façade of what humans do really, really well - that is to hide their loneliness. It can also be seen as a comment on the sadness of how honourable men, when simply wanting to give to make their wives happy, often they find themselves between a rock and a hard place.

This series starts off with a looming secret but come to find out, it's like any other family with several secrets. There's nordic drama, comedy and love in the end. See more Rayee V @RT60107777 04/12/2024 5eps. 30 mins per ep. Finished in one seating. Felt like 300 eps of Lifetime Soap Opera family drama condensed into a 2.5hr movie. Everyone has their share of things going on, every bit of struggle relatable so it wasn't a drag at all. It truly is an evening of big confessions. Love the casting choices and hope to see more of Amalia. A midsummer night filled with drama and ends with love. See more Susy G @RT18894292 04/12/2024 It was a very light and entertaining story, all characters were interesting in a way. I like the precision in the storytelling not needing to overwhelm the viewer. Short episodes. I like that. Would've loved more landscapes though. See more Montserrat R @RT12475936 04/11/2024 It's a series filled with twist from the characters, making it easy to see, I enjoyed, it appears to me as a normal family with each one of them with their own problems to think of.
