I love Scandinavian Noir fiction and film, so when I learned that the adaptation of A Nearly Normal Family, a 2019 book by Swedish author M. T. Edvardsson, was about to be shown on Netflix, I decided I had to read … and watch. This is my review of A Nearly Normal Family with Spoilers, which contains a plot summary, the ending explained, and my thoughts on the adaptation of A Nearly Normal Family on Netflix. You can find all my Page to Screen posts here!
