For those of you that don't know. The show is about a group of Americans with Swedish heritage who comes to Sweden to compete for the chance of meeting their relatives.
It's fun to watch but at the same time it's a bit stereotypical. All the things they experience still exist but not everyone does it. Like when they go to Järvsö and dress up in traditional clothes and dance around the may pole. Last time I danced around the may pole i was 3 or 4 years old.
It's kind of sad to say but the culture is starting to disappear.
