"Guy Number 8" comes to us from Finland and although it is filmed in black and white, it is not a film noir, but a romantic drama that offers an interesting and entertaining reversal of gender roles


Apparently, the Scandinavian trend that exploded on our television in the last two decades and gained sympathy with series like "The Bridge" and "Burgen", used geography to attract viewers.

The cold, the architecture, the differences in cultures, as well as the tooth-breaking language, which to viewers across Europe perhaps reminded in its strangeness only of the guys from "Fauda" who drop an unfamiliar language on them.

"Guy number 8" comes to us from Finland, the country that is despised by its elitist neighbors Sweden and Denmark.

The series is also a cosmopolitan product, which, apart from the winter clothing that characterizes its protagonists, could have come from any other country in Europe.

Oh and yes, the language here can also make it difficult for the average Israeli viewer, who, if it's not in English, is quick to dismiss series.

Maria is the CEO of a company and comes from a family with a dominant father figure. She has a man every day of the week who signs a financial and service terms agreement with her, in which he undertakes to arrive on the agreed upon day and meet the needs of the lady. They don't ask questions, they don't get jealous and they don't lie. Everything works smoothly until Juho arrives and seemingly succeeds in ousting the fireman from the starting line-up. But then, as in any romantic drama, things get complicated because Juho develops feelings amidst the emotional coldness.

Emotions develop within the burden of the emotional cold.

"guy number 8",

The series is filmed in black and white, but it is not a film noir.

She offers, at least in the way the characters are presented, a reversal of roles: a woman in a position of power who controls her men who insist on developing feelings for her, while she refuses and lets money do the talking and keeps only the pleasures of the flesh.

They will answer, a feminist message that accompanies us throughout all the chapters on paper at least.

The truth is, without going into clichés, this is a recommended series for these mid-August days when the thought of the cold lands leaves hope to live in the burning Levant.

It is likely that when the creators of the series wrote it, they were thinking outwardly.

Indeed, it seems that the series will probably win versions in other European countries, because it is the kind of thing that some Israeli writer could actually sell to "Rainbow" as a winning format for a Tel Aviv bachelorette.

The problem is that if they did a series here where a single woman changes her partner every day, and signs men to financial agreements, it would end in an interview with Ofira and Barko, who would ask her what her mother and father said about her role and if she is not ashamed.

"Guy number 8", Hot VOD, were we wrong?
