EASY LIVING/HELPPO ELÄMÄ: let's go do some (finnish) crimes

crime is bad and you will feel bad

this is because they are middle class. never seems to bother the rich.

slave morality innit

the menfolk in this family spend a lot of time in just their underpants

also the dad looks like a cross between arnie and michael lonsdale

xp wait is Tuomas in this?

he better be

this is really good (even w/o tuomas)

so far

lol ok this ep just finished with the entirely family being "lonely guy just thinking baout things" in different places to the same finnish folkrock but it's still p much really good

i love the line this walks between light (much of the family stuff) and bleakly srs bsns (where it all seems to be headed)

also i like that -- bad as the family are (especially the son) -- they do kind of like one another, and everyone else (including the supposed non-criminals) is p much worse

oddly enough -- as the plot is almost exactly the opposite (owing a huge amount of money not gaining same) -- the series it reminds me of most is meet the braithwaites

just started e12 (and last) of s1: this series is so great ppl

the best thing is that the grandmother is such a sweet old lady

(guessing in s2that she turns out have been an international cat-burglar in her youth)

(or still is)

also the cop is hilarious (apparently there's only one)

the mum (anu sinisalo)* and dad (carl-kristian rundman) are terrific, the son (antto orasmaa ) is a bit doughy and bland, the daughter (sanna toivanen) is a good actress but a bit too relentlessly radiant really (though it this actually works in the rellgious parts of her story)
