Initially, I was hopeful, but as the show progressed, I started questioning if the actors were on the same page and what the purpose of the show even was. I miss the songs, the characteristics of that era, and the authentic conversations. The mixing of dialects, varied vocal tones, and loudness of the actors and immaturity at times. It also lacks the raw and chilling vibe I anticipated, instead feeling like a mishmash of actors with different skills hastily put together. Overall, I envisioned a great show, but this one disappoints me. The casting of Ronja was a significant misstep, she talks and looks way too nice, almost upper-class rather than the defiant and self-independent rough rövardotter-girl she should have been. Skalle Per's role also felt underprepared, diminishing the depth & joy of the character. While I enjoyed the visual effects and the portrayals & acting of Lovis and Mattis, they weren't enough to compensate for the disappointment in the show's overall execution.
