What's with all the bathroom scenes?

[andrea-29988 · 6/10 · 1 March 2022]

I'm on episode five off the first season, and almost every episode has a scene where a character is using the bathroom (a bit excessive), and yet hand washing is non-existent.

Very good actors

"Birkir's portrayal by Kriston Kolur Kristinsson in 'Happily Never After' is simply captivating! His ability to seamlessly transition between drama and comedy showcases his incredible range as an actor. Birkir's character brings depth and authenticity to the show, drawing viewers in with every scene. Kristinsson's performance is nothing short of brilliant, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to an already fantastic Icelandic series. Bravo!". I really like how cute he is in the scenes, and I found him very funny. I would not listen to the rude and hateful comments, which think the show is over grossed. I would highly recommend the show to everyone. I hope they bring a season 2.

Amazing Acting

[jacksonstitzel · 10/10 · 19 April 2024]

This series is a masterclass in comedic and dramatic writing. It is incredibly deep and contains strong messages of independance and exhibits the modernity of life. Each actor gave an amazing performance. The actor that played Birkir was increadibly tranformant. He exhibited amazing talent and perserverance througout his roles.

I have read the comments on this series, and most of them are clueless. Some have said it is overly gross, but these shots are rather artisitc and place more focus on the modernist industrial style of society. They help give a grittyness that was lacking previously and is required to dipict everyday life.

I hope they bring it back for a second season.

Too long and terrible writing

[justicelandic · 3/10 · 10 February 2020]

It was meant to be a drama/comedy but it's just all drama and even weak as such. 6x 45min episodes of a woman in her daily routine after divorce, long boring scenes .....perhaps the worst and writing I have ever seen in major TV show in Iceland and waist of time.

Fantastic foreign series

[alfitzgerald-01381 · 10/10 · 19 April 2024]

I loved this series. Genuinely one of the best series I have seen recently. It has been a while since I have been wanting to watch a good family series. No wonder they have won an award. I particularly enjoyed the presence of Birkir played by Kristin Kolur Kristinsson, the kid is a prodigy.

The people rating this series lowly have no sense of cinematography. The only trustworthy evaluations are the ones praising this masterpiece. I have heard that a second season is being released and am excited as ever for a follow-up. I truly wish people learn from this series. Such fine talent shouldn't go unnoticed.

GROSS BEYOND COMPREHENSION

[daftrancenergy · 1/10 · 20 September 2023]

I was so grossed out in the first 10 minutes that I was just astounded at how bad this show is. I read a review that asked why all the bathroom scenes and that's the first thing you see but that's dead clever brilliant compared to the rest.

In one of the first couple of scenes she is trying to have sex with her husband in the morning before the kids wake up. That was all tolerable although a bit more explicit than needed to convey the message.

The kids of course pop in right as the finish and they hardly have time to cover up. In trying to put on a charade for the kids that Mommy and Daddy werent doing anything, she stands up and the director thought we needed to see a closeup of male fluid RUNNING DOWN HER INNER LEG. This was one of the most disgusting things I have seen in a mainstream show and absolutely unnecessary. I'm glad this happened early on so I didnt waste time watching more. This is even inappropriate in TV comedy. Actually, nothing seemed funny, just pitiful.

If you like GROSS and think GROSS is funny, then you will love this garbage.

GROSS AND DISGUSTING, ALL THE GROSS OF PORN.
