Pick #1,104

Love & Anarchy

Lisa Langseth · Sweden · Swedish

A Swedish workplace rom-com that is just as raunchy as it is affecting

7.6 Our score

Our take

Love & Anarchy is a raunchy and poignant series that mainly follows Sofie (Ida Engvoll ), a middle-aged consultant whose steady, predictable life is forever changed when she befriends the office temp, Max (Björn Mosten).

Sofie and Max take turns daring each other to do unconventional things in public, from walking backward at work to role paying at a function, and what begins as a thrill-seeking exploit soon evolves into a serious relationship that has them and their colleagues questioning their bigger ambitions and desires in life.

With each only eight episodes per season, each of which runs at more or less 30 minutes, Love & Anarchy is a sure-fire easy and worthwhile binge.

Comments

  1. Some interesting new characters in season 2 and some good sub posts.
    Mostly very original and only slightly letdown by the clichéd “. continuing visions of her dead dad ( how many times has that been done).
    And a clichéd unsubtle political sermon towards the end.
