Wedding planning.The show quickly runs out of clichés of Sweden and season 2 is just another show about wedding planning. The proposal, the bachelor party, the bachelorette party, telling the parents, wedding preparations, booking a place, meeting the priest, flying in the parents, etc. It's been done a million times - this show does it yet again.There are no jokes left in this theme - everything has been said and done before. There is no new ground to cover. Why do it? Did Greg pitch a show about Sweden, get the OK, then run out of ideas and said "screw it, let's just make a wedding show?" For one, you can't make a show based on "In America we do this, in Europe they do that." It's barely good enough for standup comedy lines, not for whole episodes or a whole show.And to run out of those ideas and just make a show about planning a wedding called "Welcome to Sweden?" The jokes are just not funny "Oh, female priest? My worldview is collapsing." "You should take my name," "No, you should take my name" or "It should be Evans-Wiik" "No, it should be Wiik-Evans." Some of the ideas seem to be lifted straight from "Marry Me" - the surprise party ruined by the bride going on an insult rant while everyone is waiting to come out.Just terrible. There may be 5 minutes of comedy gold in 2 seasons of 10 episodes each.

Though fairly libertarian myself, if you fancy yourself a liberal and need/want your political, social and economic views validated with every other line of a TV show, honey, you've come home.I just watched an episode that deals with female priests, the tradition of fathers walking their daughters down the isle being verboten because of what it symbolizes, a higher power largely not being believed in, the death penalty and so many other cat nip issues it was hard to keep track.That it was an NBC show is not surprising in the least. So if you want to stream a series that's 'cute' and are either largely decided in your views or insensitive / incognizant of the fact that ideology is being shoveled into your brain hole, this is a humor'ish way to pass the time.

It is very good that the producers decided, finally, to make an important change in this TV show: about the English subtitles. Last year, it was very difficult (even for people with good eyesight)to read the subtitles. Now, the subtitles are bigger and with a dark background, so this time they are legible, even if those subtitles are displayed over snowIt is true many Americans are too lazy to read English subtitles, but let's hope now this change will add viewers to the show and hopefully, will last long enough on TV. It is also good the directors are Swedish: they not only know the language, they do know the Swedish culture. Since 90% of this show is set in Sweden,how come the introduction of the show has American hard rock music?

I started watching "Welcome to Sweden" without any expectations. The series turned out to be very funny and entertaining. It makes a lot of fun about strereotypes and as a Finn I understand those jokes. But I don't think that for example some Austalian guy who knows nothing about Sweden would get all of the jokes. But not all the jokes are based on Sweden or Swedish stereotypes. There are plenty of jokes that anyone can get. There are few characters that are a bit annoying but luckily they don't show up very often. Greg Poehler and his character are my absolute favourites. But yeah, surprisingly good show but I think Swedes and other Nordic people understand the jokes best.
