WILLE/ERIK —Honeybee.
Yes to all of that!!! I didn’t know much about the series either- I’d just started learning Swedish and wanted to watch something to help me along. And I was caught off guard by how good it was. I was expecting the typical teenage drama with cringy dialogs and cliche plot twists. There’s no need to say that isn’t what I got at all. The characters have so much depth and layers to them. Like you said there isn’t a single character you never feel frustrated with- they all have moments where, as an outsider, you shake your head and say this is stupid, why are you acting like that, this is so clearly the wrong way to behave/ handle this situation! But at the same time you can always see why they do these things. Their behavior never feels like a plot device (though it obviously is) but a logical and natural consequence of their character. And of course this is not just the script but also the phenomenal actors that play their roles with such honesty. And I adore how well represented different groups are. People of different cultural backgrounds, people with different sexualities, people with different body shapes, imperfect skin. And unlike in other shows, it doesn’t feel performative either, but rather like a genuine representation of reality, not something to appease the more critical viewer. Which is still so so so rare!
These are my exact thoughts as well!! I feel so blessed to see this show on Netflix and give it a try. I do not usually watch Netflix, I am more of a MUBI person, but so so so glad that I clicked the button and started watching this very well-done show!
I just cannot stop thinking about the characters' arcs and circumstances. Wilhelm, for instance, grew up in a royal family under the constant public eye, has a mother who puts her Queenly duties above her motherly duties (Wilhelm in S2E2: "Can you be my mom once?"), and a brother he adored but he died in an accident. And he is under such tremendous pressure because he is in love with a boy deeply for the first time in his life, they made love, and their 'sex tape' got leaked by his second cousin. Thinking about Simon, having an addicted father, trying to succeed in life in a society full of classism, and trying to be the big brother for his autistic older sister. Thinking about Sara, an autistic person who was bullied and felt left out all the time, having no friends in her prev high school, who also wants to succeed in life. Thinking about Felice, whose mother is the one ignoring her daughter's wishes all the time, trying to find her voice against family expectations. Thinking about August, having a father who killed himself when August was a young teen boy, he inherited his family estate that needs money to keep going for the other generations because that is what is expected. Thinking about Nils, a gay boy who feels to stay closeted throughout his whole life because of the heteronormative society. And so on...
Btw, there are some edits I love so much, if you want to watch them, here are they:
Hello! I'm new to the fandom and was wondering if you know where I can find social media edits, mainly Instagram. You know, those simulating the characters' ones. I've seen some around, and I love them, but I don't know where to find more. Do you have any idea? Is there a tag, or a blog that collets them, or someone who does them often?
Hi Anon,
Welcome to the fandom. I personally don’t get on other social media too much but you are in luck because a couple of friends from here actually made a collection of their favorite YR edits from Instagram and put it in a google doc.
There are literally 100s of YR edits in here. And any one of these links will take you to amazing creators that will have a ton more edits. So Christmas came early, here you go.
