Review of Lust

Lust (I) (2022– )
8/10
Good fun show
21 March 2022
Being a US-born non-Swedish middle-aged man, this show was a total gamble for me... but it worked out and I really liked it. I haven't seen the theme of middle-aged women struggling to come to terms with their sexuality addressed in quite this style. The show reminds me a bit of Netflix's Working Moms but with a Scandinavian flavor, more warmth, and less ridiculousness.

It was great to get to see the Sweden-based settings and exposure to Svensk (with English subs -- you just need to turn them on).

I thought the acting was quite good and the characters and plot were interesting... if not totally believable. Still... it all works to bring an interesting story together. If the show is renewed for another season, I will watch it.
