Bruce, a successful money manager to the stars, and his beautiful Swedish girlfriend Emma decide to move to Sockholm together for a great job. American Bruce soon experiences culture shock with his new life there.
If Welcome to Sweden doesn't work, its failure won't be epic. But during what used to be the throwaway summer season, this is a shining example of a comedy series that has a lot going for it in a smaller way.
Welcome to Sweden mines laughs from mildly uncomfortable situations and awkwardness in a way that no NBC show has since the good old days of the Steve Carell-lead Office.
