In the recent decade, the Scandinavian countries (Denmark and Sweden in particular) have launched so many good drama thrillers that is difficult to follow up, partially also due to the fact that the number of performers involved is limited and you begin to wonder have you seen this or that or not... Also in Gåsmamman, there are several actors often seen in related films/series, e.g. Alexandra Rapaport, Magnus Roosmann, or Shebly Niavarani, but its venue is somewhat distinct from other Swedish series - the events take place in a limited time and locations, the flashbacks are in the beginning of the following episode only, thus bringing back the highlights what happened before. In spite of lots of drug-related felonies and problems, a lot of time is dedicated to family ties, with minor children playing a significant role. The latter is probably the reason why the main solution is no inevitable crime result, but a more complex issue when difficult choices are to be made by and within close relatives and kinsmen. So, the cast does a good teamwork, the leading character/performance does not stand out too much.

In general, a strong crime series, but not among the Swedish finest, no Bron/Broen, for example. The plot could have been a bit more compact (perhaps 5 series), some events and scenes are protracted: 7.5 points for plot, 8.5 for performances.

Season 1 was pretty good. Not great, but it had some interesting characters, a few mysteries and surprises, and a genuine dilemma-should the heroine be loyal to her sleazy, drug-dealing family members, despite the fact that they are endangering her and her kids, or cooperate with police?

Sadly, while the dilemma of Season 1 had some internal logic, Season 2 completely "jumps the shark" and defies plausibility. By Episode 3, you may want to through your remote at the TV screen.

You would have to have complete amnesia about Season 1 to believe the behavior of the characters in Season 2. I wish they had just ended the series. Or if it had to keep going, start over with a completely fresh and different situation rather than asking us to accept absurd plot developments. I have no idea what Season 3 or 4 are like, because I just couldn't get past Season 2.

A Good Swedish Tv-show, something new has finally come to the square. Gåsmamman is a nice quality made show that is exciting to watch, good actors aswell. Barry is great! 🇸🇪

Simple, complex, exciting and moving; all of it this series. Wish for a fifth season, and for many people to give it a go. Brilliant!!

I'm on season 2 of Gåsmamman and Sonja the mother is getting in my nerves constantly I mean seriously how can someone be that stubborn and straight up just stupid. And that goes with the sister as well Nina, she doesn't piss me off as much as the mother but season two is full of stupid and idiotic decisions. So far into the series Gustav and Linus are the ONLY two characters I actually like. This isn't much of a review but I wanted to rant about this. I do hope this series gets better especially the characters because I am very close to quitting...not really I'll probably just skip scenes just to see gustav or Linus. Linus especially I love Edvin Rydings.

Excellent escapism- worth your time.

Great acting, writing, and direction.

Suspenseful, with lots of engaging characters and situations. Looking forward to season 5!

Hell Yeah, i love this swedish topp serie, EVERYBODY should see this

So the original is Dutch (like me) but done better. Better acting, better scenes and better developed story. Really like all the actors in this show. It's just really hard to find on streamers. Seen season 1-4 on Disney and after that it became a quest to find the next one. Season 5 was on Viaplay and season 6 now on Canal+ I think.

Allthough seasons 3,4 felt bit like repeating story and action, I'm still curious for the next part. Official statement says that season 6 was the last one, but just saw a TikTok with the Gasmamman kids explaining they are shooting the new season. Confusing but exciting...

This series recycles the usual pool of Swedish actors in a plot that's been done to death many times over, and in a variety of countries. This series differs in that the script seems to be written in a childish way with dialog to match. It seems to have been made to fill a slot on TV, and to provide the actors with work. Not outstanding in any way at all.

I can't see what's so apealing about this serie. The plot may be ok but hardly original, the script however is not hit and the acting not so great. Swedish series at it best, underworked, silly and somehow enertaining.

The main woman character is so stupid and she's like afraid of her own shadow. She's weak. She has no presence and she is a total thorn in the side of this show. Lucas is the best character along with Barry, but this Sonia chick she just has no balls. Her daughter has more balls than she does, I mean it started out good but then it became just like this scared older woman like doing stupid things and everybody just excepting it you know Lucas gets shot people get killed I mean she's just an idiot all the way around and deserves to go to prison for life or better yet I just kill her off. It's too bad because it could've been really really good serious.
