Lagom Lockdown
Geoff, a British comedian-turned-Swede, is now happily installed with his growing family in Yxsjo. From 2020.
British comedian Geoff has settled with his Swedish partner in the frozen north in the tiny, unpronounceable town of Yxsjo.
This year, he's up against British and Swedish views of viruses, his mother's endless calls, cross-country skiing, a predatory American cousin and, of course, his redoubtable in-laws, Sten and Gunilla.
We join his family as spring breaks and Sweden faces lockdown, taking a very different path to its European neighbours.
Danny Robins's series of comedy and culture shock.
Recorded partly on location in Stockholm, and at times simultaneously between three countries, this romantic comedy features a line-up of some of Sweden鈥檚 best known comic actors.
