The TV series is too much for some: "I tried to watch, I can't!"

The Finnish TV series 'L/over – forever mine' has left some viewers unable to watch due to its painful emotional realism.

The series 'L/over – forever mine' has captivated audiences with the intense and rapidly developing love story between characters Roosa and Juha, but it has also elicited strong negative reactions from some viewers who find the content too distressing. Many viewers have taken to social media to express their discomfort, revealing that the show's realistic portrayal of relationships triggers painful memories from their past. The emotional reactions vary, with some viewers managing to watch only the first episode before deciding they cannot continue.

Comments from affected viewers highlight the personal toll the show's realism takes on them, with phrases like "it's too close to my previous life" and acknowledgments of past traumas. This strong connection to the material suggests that while the show is well-acted and compelling, it also delves into themes that resonate deeply with certain viewers in an uncomfortable way. As the series progresses, with more episodes being released on the streaming service Katsomo, it remains to be seen how the audience will respond to upcoming content.

The dichotomy of audience reactions raises interesting questions about viewer sensitivity and the impact of storytelling that touches on real-life difficulties. It also underscores the dynamic nature of television as a medium that both entertains and challenges viewers, prompting conversations around mental health and the representation of personal struggles in popular narrative forms.
