Another interesting series - albeit fails in certain areas - for sci-fi/time travelling buffs : If I Hadn't met You, a Catalan series that resolves more on the different timelines of an impossible love story.
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check out Karppi.
OT blog post incoming: Finnish is a funny language as in usually throughout Europe you can make out plenty of stuff here and there because of the shared language roots. For example, I speak German and English, bits of Latin and Norwegian and can read the Scandi languages just fine sometimes and Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and Swedish are similar.
Nothing like that in Finland - not a single word. This actually was not cool at a large Finnish scouts convention I went to, as they didn't bother at all to translate anything at the main stage - and they were a few thousand international scouts there like us. Every morning at 7 we got up to watch the Finnish flag being hoisted - pointless to us, I usually went straight back to my sleeping bag lol.
That was weird but it's of course a beautiful country and also Helsinki is nice. Canoeing on Finnish lakes for days is still one of the best holidays I've ever done.
