This Has Actually Always Been One Of The Aspects Of The Show That Has Most Confused Me. Noora And Eva

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?

day 3: favorite male character → noah boom

to put it simply, he makes my heart go “boom.” i am always a sucker for william, but noah is next level. he is, by far, my favorite william remake and just all around one of my favorite characters in the entire slam universe. he is smart, talented and yes, he can be a dick, but i can truly see that he is a loving and caring person. he is honestly someone i could see myself falling in love with. he is flawed, but poignant and relevant. which, to me, makes the best kind of character.

i will never love anyone as much as i love sander driesen 

I think I used to believe that this season was in some way more authentic than the classic bad boy trope but rewatching it, it feels really conventional. I think in particular Noora's "activism" or like moralistic assertion of her superiority over William feels really forced, whereas William's "good side" feels equally as contrived. I also think the way that the Noora sees Eva this season, as a party girl with delusions about Jonas, also just makes me sad! But there is, of course, a chemistry between them and I'm interested to see what my new thoughts will be once shit goes down. Episode 4 for the absolute win btw.

Homework for Week # 4

What seems to differentiate Noora & William from the classic stereotypical bad-boy-gets-the-girl-who-hates-him-to-fall-in-love-with-him trope? Or do you not think their story so far is at all different from this trope?
