Per Gavatin

Per Gavatin’s name might not be splashed across Hollywood billboards, but honestly, if you’ve ever dipped your toes into Swedish TV, you’ve probably seen his work—even if you didn’t realize it. The dude’s been part of some pretty offbeat projects, each with its own wild flavor. Take "Boy Machine" from 2015. It’s basically a hilarious, slightly tragic look at a washed-up boy band trying to claw their way back into the limelight. Think awkward reunions, midlife crises, and a ton of ridiculous hair gel. The show pokes fun at nostalgia culture, but there’s heart underneath all the goofy antics. Then there’s "Remake" (2014), which kind of flew under the radar, but it’s got this clever, meta vibe. It’s all about second chances and reinventing yourself, except not in a cheesy, Hollywood redemption-arc way. There’s a bit of grit, some sharp dialogue, and just enough self-awareness to keep things interesting. Not your average feel-good flick, but it sticks with you. And don’t even get me started on "Torpederna" (also 2014). Imagine a dark comedy where petty criminals keep screwing up their not-so-brilliant plans, and you’re halfway there. Gavatin brings this weird, understated charm to the ensemble, and the whole thing feels a bit like a Swedish Coen brothers experiment. Basically, his work is quirky and sneakily thoughtful—the kind of stuff you stumble on late at night and end up bingeing because you just have to know what happens next.
