Tore centers around 27-year-old Tore. When the most important person in his life is run over by a garbage truck and dies, Tore does everything he can to suppress his grief. During the days, he continues to work at his father's funeral home as if nothing has happened and starts flirting with the new florist Erik. At night, he establishes himself on a party boat in the city and experiences alcohol, sex and drugs for the first time. A new and beautiful, but risky, world suddenly opens up to Tore, but his best friend Linn and the colleagues at the funeral home quickly start to worry that Tore is about to lose his footing in his desperate attempts to escape reality.

Watching the series, which I put down in one sitting due to its short running time, I had a lot of trouble sympathizing with the main character for a good part of the storyline - his coping with the death of a loved one was something I really didn't understand at times. Tore definitely has a compelling premise and deals with other interesting themes besides the loss of a loved one (finding oneself, experimenting with drugs, the fragility of family/friendship bonds), yet I felt that the actual execution and especially the portrayal of some of the characters was not entirely convincing. As far as supporting characters go, the ones that spoke to me the most were Shady Meat and Heidi. Given the conclusion of the sixth episode, I'm curious to see if they will come up with another series.
