I think there is a more conscious reasoning behind the absence of parents in Isak's life, specifically in drawing the parallel between his mother and Even (his mother having mental health issues is also established in season one.) I was a little confused by his relationship with his father, and think that it still feels in some way that the lack of parents is contrived so that he can live with Eskild. But compared to Eva and Noora, the show really makes an attempt to immerse us in the way that Isak sees his parents, which is distant from him. They definitely play a larger role thematically even if they are present less than Eva's mom for example. Not Isak's parents, but I think the scene in episode 9 with Magnus talking about his mom is really great.
How does SKAM's treatment of Isak's parents differ from its treatments of Eva and Noora's parents?
We’re not best buds. Seriously? We’re buds. Okay, we’re buds.
Best buds.
What character do you connect with the most?
gah this changes throughout all the remakes but i would say overall, i connect the most with eva. specifically jana, eva brighi and hanna. i think i connect most with her because i have struggled a lot with finding who i am in relation to myself and other people. i’ve been through the pains of loosing friends to popularity and loosing friends to competition and pettiness. when i first saw season one, i was genuinely shocked with how much i saw myself in eva sometimes. she’s actually inspired me a lot because in the three years i’ve been a fan of skam i’ve been through lots of stuff but she’s reminded me that it’ll get better. she’s such a remarkable character i’ll carry with me through the rest of my life :))) do you have a character you connect to the most?
thank you for the ask and i hope it didn’t turn into too much of a rant lol !!
Was definitely surprised by the reveal the first time I watched but rewatching there seems to be more signs. The best mic drop, of course, is Sana telling Vilde the real reason she threw the cup in Ingrid’s face. I just love everything Sana does and this in particular shows that her brutal honesty is rooted in real care and friendship.
Were you surprised by the reveal of why Ingrid and Eva's friendship ended?
OR
What was your favorite mic drop moment of the week and why? (example: Eva telling Iben to stop attacking other girls and BREAK UP WITH CHRIS while they're in the bathroom, or Noora calling William Willhelm)
does anyone know where in spain they film skam españa? also does anyone know specific locations from the show? i’m planning a trip this summer and would love to visit some spots.
me: experiences an emotion me: *jared kleinman voice* absolutely not
Favorite Female Character: Liv Reijners
Liv is strong, kind, smart and just an incredible version of Noora. I am always so inspired by her to be more confident and outspoken and to wear clothes that might not be what everyone else is wearing, but what I love. I love that she redefined what I thought being Noora meant and made me adore the character even more. She is one of my favorite characters in the entire skam universe. Liv is a character that has stuck with me and I love that she is so spunky and fierce. I am incredibly excited to see the rest of her season, and in (hopefully) future seasons.
