Favorite television programs

[*Laurelindo*]

I would have to say the Swedish TV show "Rederiet".
It ended ten years ago and it's still a well-known, praised super-classic, it was the number 1 show for TEN YEARS and it was even shown in Africa.
I think the secret to its huge success is that the characters felt so incredibly present and natural, and the acting is extremely good.
Take a look at these two scenes and you will understand what I mean - I swear, you will find it hard to believe that they are even acting, it looks way more like something filmed from real life with a hidden camera or something:
