Review

'Call Me Dad': When Your Best Friend Becomes Your Stepdad

Despite the sympathetic protagonist, this Danish combination of comedy and drama does not excel in either genre.

Caterer Emil discovers that his mother has found a very unexpected new lover. Emil has known his best friend Viktor since they were in diapers. In fact, Emil's mother even changed Viktor. And now it turns out that the two have been in a relationship for six months. Emil has little choice but to simply accept this new reality, because in addition to being his best friend, Viktor is also his partner.

The idea for the Danish comedy-drama Call Me Dad came from the minds of the protagonists Alex Høgh Andersen and Magnus Haugaard Petersen. Together they came up with what is perhaps the biggest nightmare in a close friendship: that the woman who comes between two men is your very own mother. With the revelation that his best friend will become his stepfather, the mess in Emil's life is complete. He also suffers from severe nosebleeds and also has a lot to deal with with his unstable girlfriend Carla.

Only six episodes of barely half an hour are devoted to the rearrangements that Emil is forced to make in his life. The concept of mother's new love is not fully developed consistently. It regularly fades into the background, for example when Carla files a rather absurd claim against Emil and Viktor's company. Or during the exciting encounters that Emil has during his daily swim.

Call Me Dad is a lot thematically, but at the same time disappointingly little due to the minimal emotional effect. Emil's search for the medical defect that causes his nosebleeds is extremely messy and fragmented. Girlfriend Carla is an insufferable mental wreck and mainly serves to illustrate Emil's lack of backbone. Conversations between Emil and Viktor about how the new love between friend and mother comes in do not take place. The humor of these situations is barely explored, while the dramatic depth is lacking.

The fact that comedy and drama do not flow smoothly together in Call Me Dad does not mean that this far-too-short series is a complete waste of time. Despite his inability to stand up for himself, Emil is a sympathetic boy who would wish you more and, above all, better. The character turns one hundred and eighty degrees in the final episode to discover that he will not find much salvation there either. Just like the main character, the makers of this series are constantly searching.

Call Me Dad can be seen on NPO Start .

lovely message

Kald Mig Far er skudt afsted og jeg tror stadig ikke helt det er fattet. Tilbage er der en masse taknemmelighed og glæde over at spille fandango til daglig med så mange fantastisk mennesker og kunne kalde det sit arbejde. Af hjertet tak. ❤️ Tak til alle dem der troppede op igår til premieren og heppede. Tak til Søren Felbo og Christian Dyekjær for at tage vores lille baby af en ide og gør den til et levende væsen. Tak til Trin Hjortkjær og Laura Kragholm og resten af kontoret på Nordisk for at tage os i hånden og styre os i land. Tak til Viaplay for at tro på os - uden jer ingen serie. Tak til det fantastisk cast og crew for alt jeres fuldstændigt gennemførte geniale arbejde. Det har betydet verden for mig at have jer som kollegaer. Tak til min Johanne. Til sidst, tak til min Magnus. Og nu har jeg en klump i halsen ❤️

Se “Kald Mig Far” på Viaplay og tv3 fra på søndag d. 28

Call Me Father has taken off and I still don't think it's fully understood. What remains is a lot of gratitude and joy for playing fandango on a daily basis with so many fantastic people and being able to call it my job. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️ Thanks to all those who turned up yesterday for the premiere and cheered. Thanks to Søren Felbo and Christian Dyekjær for taking our little baby of an idea and turning it into a living being. Thanks to Trin Hjortkjær and Laura Kragholm and the rest of the office at Nordisk for taking us by the hand and guiding us ashore. Thanks to Viaplay for believing in us - without you no series. Thank you to the amazing cast and crew for all your absolutely brilliant work. It has meant the world to me to have you as colleagues. Thanks to my Johanne. Finally, thanks to my Magnus. And now I have a lump in my throat ❤️

Sidenote, my personal opinion, but I think they might already be engaged, kind of like how he said "if it's here it's here" and people would find out eventually. in a Jan 2023 interview when he wasn't single. The bachelor's comment. Then we're moving in soon, when she's already there. 😊😊

So I think they're already engaged but controlling when the fans find out. He can't stop people combing through his socials, but he CAN control when people know for certain. Maybe he's hinting again? 😊😊😊 if true, good for them. If he's waiting to propose then I hope it's a beautiful moment!! 😊😊💙💜❤💜💙❤😊😊

Kald mig Far Premiere!

I like all the outfits, Johanne's message to Alex was so sweet, since she couldn't be there bc of Askepot being in Odense now (she doesn't mention her part, just that she loves him and is proud of him. Pic of translation below!). 😊😊😊 I wonder if they were nervous/excited that the day finally came after 2 years of waiting?! 😊😊😊 they all looked great here!

Glad Fanny got to go to the premiere/after party! 😊😊😊

and a nice message while looking a bit hungover sleepy lol. 😛😛😛 edited to add the last two pics.

YouTube Call Me Dad interview!

This is a really good interview about the show, what to expect, and the humor and struggle of existing in modern society, and all that entails. Alex and Magnus are funny in the interview too, and I like how excited they are too for their show. 😊😊😊 and they both look happy and relaxed.

Hopefully we get a second season! And this one does really well. I'm hoping it'll end up on Netflix. More potential states side views. Saw a hilarious show on Netflix called "Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes" so if you like dark Scandinavian humor, I recommend that one too. Call Me Dad is a lot lighter than that, from what I've seen so far, more of the crushing social pressures of politeness/boundaries/acceptance that make you feel awkward/universe is swallowing you humor. 😊😊

Closeups

They looked great! looks like two happy, confident, healthy adults to me! Magnus seems a tiny bit shy to me too. Well more than Alex comes across as. Lol 😊 And CMD has been doing great with views in Denmark! Glad their show is doing so well!! 😊

crazy dreams

[synonymouswithanonymous]

magnus!

a little appreciation for this guy! Visiting his best friend AHA today for Fanny B's bday!

I love these two best friends! 😊😊 I like these articles and I really hope his dream of having children/family work out for him! I think Magnus is good looking too! His boyfriend also! I hope the laws do change, there's so many kids that would have such a good life, if certain restrictions were less.

Top 10 since premiere!

Kald Mig Far or Call Me Dad has been on viaplay top 10 for streaming since it premiered! Maybe we will get wider distribution and a second season? 😊😊💖💖 that's really good for a show! It definitely means a wider audience potentially.

Call me Dad Season 2?

"And then I also think that it was because there was an opportunity for us to make a second season."

"- Let's put it this way; We would love to do more because it has been a pleasure. Now we have to see, because there is simply so much to happen, and there are calendars that have to go up. Now it's also been a while since we recorded. If it goes well, it's just the most amazing thing in the whole world, and then we hope we can do a season two. I am also at the point where I am very happy with what we have been allowed to do." AHA

Ooooo I hope so!😊😊😊
