The tenth season of “Klovn,” starring Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen, premieres to positive reviews, assuring fans that the show’s humor remains intact. Despite concerns that Casper Christensen’s recent religious conversion might affect the series’ comedic edge, the new season maintains its satirical bite, targeting the self-importance of the creative class.
The show continues to explore the characters’ aging and their struggles to stay relevant, adding a layer of vulnerability that enhances their relatability and comedic appeal. The dynamic between the real people, their fictional counterparts, and the series’ absurd premises remains a winning formula.
One standout episode involves King Frederik’s plans for a tomb and Casper’s indignation over the proximity of other cultural figures. Another storyline sees Frank accompanying Mia to a wake, which leads to the discovery of Frank’s sex diary and Mia’s subsequent revelations on a sex-life podcast. The series also tackles the #metoo movement with a storyline about Frank’s past encounter with a woman named Fulde-Rikke, showcasing the show’s ability to address sensitive topics with its signature humor.
Despite the passage of time, “Klovn” remains a national treasure, delivering cringe-worthy and toe-curling moments that continue to resonate with its audience. The series is available on TV 2 and TV 2 Play.
