This series is the story of a multi-generational family and their employees and friends, beginning at the end of World War II and moving forward into the early 1970s, who work together and fight with each other in and about the family's fancy prestigious restaurant in Stockholm.
The Restaurant has sometimes been compared to Downton Abbey, for its themes of class conflict within personal relationships, intrigue and competition within families and friendships, and love and betrayal.
It’s pretty good entertainment, although some of the family members display really contemptible behavior toward each other (I guess that's what makes it good drama). With sub-titles (from the original Swedish). Recommended.
