Very offbeat comedy, with clever and unique situations. Truly portrays the struggle in trying to adapt into another culture, for the love of one's partner. Being of Swedish decent myself, I found this show to be hilarious!

There is a reason this was canceled, it was awkward and the jokes just weren't there.

I am American and my fiancé is Swedish. This is a hilarious portrayal and has many cameos by some of my favorite actors/actresses.
