Strandhotellet

I agree with other 1 star critics!!

I really wanted to stick with this show until the end to uncover the mystery, and I did, but it was a struggle. The acting was painfully bad, with Julie being the weakest link. Her performance was wooden, with a constant half-open mouth that made her look like Bella from Twilight, perpetually needing a bathroom break while trying to appear smart but failing.

This was frustrating enough, but kicking off this season by adding Morberg to the cast made it tremendously worse. The casting choices were atrocious, with Per being the only exception among the Morbergs who should stay AWAY from acting.

This is the worst Scandinavian show and cast I've ever seen. It felt like it was made for an audience with low standards. I also think watching Julie was a painful experience, though I did enjoy the couple from the reception and found Sherin cute. Despite this new (3rd) yet the worst season, I won't be watching. It's simply too painful and the plot is so prolonged and boring.

Nope. Truly sincerely toooooo painful to watch.

Every time I start viaplay, I see a reklam for this series.

I believed I was missing out on a good show, so i was convinced to watch it. And i was wrong. It was totally disappointing. I lost track of the story and my focus on what was happening. It seems more like a fashion show and casual meetings typical of Swedish lifestyle rather than anything special to get hooked on. Its not raw footage or a reality show like "Wahlgrens Värld," yet the atmosphere gives similar vibes but fails. I think this is due to the bad choice of cast. There are some great people in the show, but most of the rest are really bad at acting and they failed to deliver, such as Luka plus Elin. I couldn't stand watching them they are annoying and horrible sorry.

My advice: don't watch this show; it's very boring and dull. I will stick to top ten lists and ignore paid publicity like this.

The list of reasons for this series' lack of success and poor execution far outweigh the positives. I literally came just to check the reviews before considering investing my time in the newly released season tre and man was relieved to see that I wasn't alone in finding this series to be a confusing and unauthentic drama/mystery cliché with very little to zero appeal.

The casting choices are extremely poor and unwise, with exception of Samuel, Rennie, and maybe Sofia. The rest of the cast seems like just wanna be superstar and they are trying too hard to be instead of mastering acting and the craft.

Astrid Morberg in particular, is a major turn-off, and I wouldn't watch anything that includes the Morbergs except for Per, who is a true legend and entertainer. Same as others pointed this out.

It's baffling how the production team assembled this roster. Their acting feels so forced and obvious, which ruins the experience. It's like watching behind-the-scenes clips or a magician revealing their tricks; once you see it, you can't unsee it, and it ruins the enjoyment.

So sad to remember a show because how bad it was. I barely made it through the first 3/4 episodes last year. Unfortunately, I found myself lost and confused by the plot and the unexplained scenes.

10 minutes in this new season and it was too much to bare, I felt so annoyed. I can't recommend this to any Swedish fellas.

Starting from Season 1 till 2 it was meeeh ok.

But season 3 episode 1 onwards it sunk.

Each episode each scence and plot was executed by irritating characters and none of it seemed credible at all.

Worst of all was Elin, she could have entered this year Paris Olympics for naivety and nonescense, she was as bad as the dancer Rachael Gunn, and yet she thinks she's the best at her jobb, wrong person in the wrong profession. How they hire these people?

It's like me trying to sing! And me don't want hear me sing because I'm that bad. Unfortunately these days people in charge have no standard and they make fools of themselves and the viewers.

They think of us viewers are so dumb and have no intelligence.

As for the story(?) if there was any! They crammed as many clichéd storylines in as they possibly could, but none of it seemed at all plausible or connected. Neither me or my wife understood anything.

My wife wanted to persevere and watch some episodes. This was a mistake as the whole thing just got worse and worse with more quick fire storylines that we have seen so many times before.

Finally we turned it off during episode 4 and it stayed off.

There is new further season (4). Lol Anyway, we shall not and we will not be watching.

Viktor.

Whoever cast/hired Astrid Morberg should reconsider their career. The production team must think the audience is foolish to hire such incompetent actors. Morberg's weak performance ruined season 3.

The show was already slow-paced with convoluted plots, and her addition only made things worse. The appeal of the show, with its portrayal of typical Swedish class families, is marred by disjointed subplots and a main story that fails to connect. I love Camillas work and appreciated some of the cast, like Ronnie Hanna and Samuel, but poor decisions during production overshadowed their efforts.

No spoilers here! But be prepared for disappointment and wasted time if you watch. The last episode left me confused and unsatisfied I was like is that's it, or is it gonna be more? I didn't know how to feel about it, was the worst cliffhanger ever. There are many other shows out there with more engaging stories and better endings.
