If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Solsidan is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the UK on Viaplay Amazon Channel right now. Every one of its 9 seasons holds up. 46 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Felix Herngren's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Solsidan arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Solsidan gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. The series is named after a small part of Saltsjöbaden called Solsidan. It revolves around Alex and Anna who are expecting their first child and have just moved to Alex's childhood home in Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm County. Alex tries to get Anna to enjoy herself, and at the same time spend time with his childhood friend Fredde. Felix Herngren and Mia Skäringer lead a cast that never overplays a joke. 9 seasons (2010–2025) gave the story room most shows never get. What keeps Solsidan from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Solsidan is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Leave It to Beaver is the obvious comparison, but Solsidan earns its own place alongside it. 9 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Felix Herngren anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Solsidan is currently airing new episodes, created by Felix Herngren, Ulf Kvensler, Pontus Edgren and Jacob Seth Fransson — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
