Season 2 is the exact same painting but with slightly uglier colours

also i think it should have been more faithful to the book

**season 1 review “kastanjemanden”
**
i don’t really watch a lot of danish shows and movies even though it’s my native language, but holy shit this was good. i remember when this first came out and everyone in denmark were talking about it, but for some reason i never watched it😭

this show was so spooky but so good! and i kept coming up with my own theories while watching (turned out to be wrong but whatever).

great now a good childrens song is completely ruined.
