Production

Patricia, a nightclub in Stockholm that features in the series

Creator William Spetz was inspired to write the series after facing rejection on another project and feeling "creatively heartbroken."[2]

The series was both set and shot in Stockholm, with principal photography beginning in December 2022.[3] Spetz, despite having grown up in Umeå, knew of the Patricia nightclub in Stockholm and was inspired to set Tore's first foray into LGBT spaces there.[4]

Reception

Reviewing the first episode of the series, Joel Keller of Decider wrote that Spetz "does a good job of not only playing a guy who seems a bit sheltered and is OK with that, but of someone who tries his best to tamp down his grief over his father by being as reckless as he can be."[5]

Eric Diedrichs of Filmtopp gave the first episode four stars, commending Spetz on his "sharp combination of humor, blackness and surprises."[6] Tor Aavatsmark of Ljud & Bild gave the series three "completely average" stars, calling it "repetitive" and full of "clichés and stereotypes."[7]
