Julefeber

We're watching every episode together in our family, and we're completely hooked.

At first the story seemed very realistic and a bit too harsh for a Christmas story, but appearances are deceiving, and Christmas magic shows up in funny and unexpected ways.

The actors, especially the children, act so well. Several scenes made me cry or gasp - and there are a lot of laughs.

The story is often very unpredictable and we're left hanging, desperately wanting to know what will happen tomorrow.

There's also a lot of love between the down and out father and his children and we are shown the tenderness and affection as well as the problems. Best Christmas calendar ever! Actually, best children's television in a long time.

I can feel where they want to go, but they really fail to get there. I just finished episode 7, and the funniest/best thing about the show is Martin Høgsted's character, who has only been on the screen for about 5 min. This single star is a tribute to his excellent character!

Lacks in cozy Christmas 'hygge'. Seems to be yet another Christmas calender series full of Copenhagen, product placement and teenage drama.

5 year olds two main reactions: scared and bored.

Merry Christmas!

I really don't understand, why so many people don't like this Christmas calendar. It is in my opinion one of the absolute best.

It has a fast pace, and brilliant character development. The screenplay is also extremely well done, and the very talented actors, who did a fantastic job making the story come to life, with outstanding acting, not only the adults, but also the children.

If there's anything that really sticks out to me, in this Christmas calendar. Is it definitely the gorgeous cinematography. There's not one dull shot, in this entire Christmas calendar.

Overall a very original Christmas calendar. I don't think that it gets enough praise.

It started out quite interesting, a broken family trying to make the best of everyday life, but I think it turned out quite poorly, as a result of the quite poor acting. I thought the kids were great in the beginning, and maybe they just needed time to get adjusted to acting, but it never really turned great, unfortunately... Also, in a time like this, I think DR should have thought, that people needed something more uplifting than a sick dad, living in a loft with his kids, never really knowing what they're up to, but just focusing on making a dish... I know it's an important message, and I think it's great to show all kinds of different families, but I just think families like this, and all other kinds, would have preferred a more positive, lively show, where everybody could escape from this horrible time we're in... And not be reminded of the tough sides of life, when we're at one of the toughest times in our time...
