As a Swede and a huge fan of teen drama series and films I was quite sceptic to SVT:s new two teen drama series Eagles and Festen. Festen didn't really build up to any of my expectations but Eagles I love!
Eagles is a classical American styled teen-drama and it doesn't look or feel like anything Swedish I've ever seen - it feels like an American show but relates to me as a Swede and I so much enjoy it. Season 1 was quite predictable but had stunning cinematography, great music, amazing hockey scenes and great acting. I totally love Alva Bratt, Edvard Olsson, Adrian Öjvindsson and Yandeh Sallah.
In season 2 the series has really stepped up a couple of notches and the drama feels more real, authentic and everything feels more! Less predictable but unfortunately Eagles is way to few episodes, way to short seasons.
It makes me wanna return to High School - but not my High School but the he one where I can be friends with Felicia and fall in love with Elias - just wished I could stay longer in the world of Eagles!
