Almost there

Warning: Spoilers
I cried during the first episode, of nostalgia and expectations. As a kid I was a huge fan of the book and film adaption from the 80's.

I love the actor of Ronja, and Bald Per to. Not a fan of Johan Ulveson but got pleasantly suprised! He makes a good adaption and not as whimsical as I was afraid he would be with the part. He gives Bald Per some deep and really makes the best out of the role.

Spoilers: At first I really liked the idea of the two mercenaries ladies coming to town. "OK, they want to add more females to the plot, sure, good idea for the younger audience". But after have seen whole part one of Ronja I just feel... why are they even there? Their absence feels boring and I really don't care when they or Tjegge is in the picture.

Why is the whole Tjegge-part necessary? It feels forced and I really don't like him there!

A lot of things aren't I'm the book but I love the extending of the world of Ronja. But I wish they didn't do changes that affect the outcome. Like the whole character of Tjegge.

I love Borka and the depth they have given the hole Borka-clan. The complexity to his son, Birk, their life as underdogs, always bullied by Mattis.

The only problem is that Borka is such a strong and alive character and is more well portrait then Mattis. Mattis feels blend, not at all like the biggest robbery chief in all the forests. I understand they didn't want to make him as crazy as in the old serie, but his hole borderline disorder and impulsive anger goes missing here. He screams a little at his robbers but I don't feel it. Don't know if it's the actor or directors fault.
