4/5
One Mississippi or Better Things are points of comparison but Pernille feels more connected to everyday struggle. It’s a show that’s doing exactly what it wants. Go to Full Review Margaret Lyons New York Times May 21
It stays consistent the whole way through, steadfastly messy and openhearted, aware of the many ways love and pain coexist. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Sep 19
How good is this show? So good that when I had watched all 30 episodes I was bereft. Felt like I’d lost good friends, or maybe a family member. Go to Full Review Megan Andersen Common Sense Media Jun 30

Judy F @Judy888 Jul 15 We binged all seasons and episodes. This was possibly the best season, made me cry. The daughters were older, more responsible and less painful. They were helping with Baldwin's big wedding. Perni's acting was exceptional throughout the series See more Peter K @Vacadoug May 29 This was so well done! The episodes just fly by. The characters are all very relatable: it welcomes the viewer into this crazy, wonderful Norwegian family. See more Read all reviews
