About this show

Welcome to Sweden follows Bruce Evans, who moves from New York City to Stockholm with his Swedish girlfriend Emma, to start a new life. The show gives us a comical look at Sweden through the eyes of an American, but at the same time allows us to laugh at this fish out of water trying to function in a new, strange world.

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.
