Taxa

The story follows Krone Taxa a small family-led taxa company that is facing an increasingly challenging business environment, especially from its main competitor - City Bilerne.

The classic david vs goliath and bad big corporation trope is being told with a great cast of characters among the taxi drivers. This is the show that established Peter Gantzlers career as Taxa Mike a tough action-hero/taxi driver who is not afraid to get his hands dirty but is also a loyal friend and an overall charming guy. There are a lot of other great actors in this, but it would take me too long to mention all of them. I do have to mention the main villain "Herman fra City Bilerne" the CEO of the competing taxa company. Herman is a cold businessman who is deadset on taking control over Krone Taxa due to some mysterious past he has with the company. Whenever you see Herman he will present himself as a gallant businessman, usually offering help to some character. Eventually Herman will show his true face as a ruthless capitalist and his gifts will turn to poison. He reminds me in many ways of some sort of devil from fiction.

A great cast of characters is also accompanied by great writing. There are a lot of storylines throughout the show and you should be prepared for love triangles, recovering alcoholics, car chases, drugdebts, murdercases and incompetent policemen, just to mention a few. I will say that in some ways, there will be so many things going on in an episode that even if you don't like a particular storyline, you shouldn't worry too much cause there will be b and c plots in one episode to take your attention. Some storylines feel like they don't have a satisfying conclusion, some feel like they are completely forgotten a few episodes later. I suspect that the show might have been produced under a tight schedule, which may have caused some things to feel a little rushed.

With that said, I definitely recommend people to give it a try - if you are from Denmark, which I assume you are if you are looking this show up - you can find it for free on DR's service 'Bonanza'. The show is not in the ideal format and you might have to use an obscure browser app if you want to see it on smart-tv and there won't be subtitles, but it's 56 episodes of great entertainment for free.

This is one of the best TV-series I´ve seen for years. I love the dialogue and having been a taxi-driver myself I feel very familiar with the plot. I think the producer has done a great job here - to make it so natural.. (perhaps being a taxi -driver himself..? The series reminds me somehow of Steven Bochco´s "Hill Street Blues" & "Brooklyn South" which unfortunately was taken off all too soon.. I hope this one will go on for years, quite something different than all the other American rubbish we are being fed up with..

I havent been hooked on any TV show for years, but this one has Got me plasteret to the screen !

It has warmth, humor, action, and most importantly the sense of HYGGE as it used to be in denmark back in the days.

What a lovely program, as a danish person it makes me feel at Home and peaceful, I even find myself laughing my Way through some of the episodes.

Writing this review while watching episode 24, and if there is anything I recommend watching to get some insight into what denmark used to look like, this show is the perfect opportunity. Denmark Was once a great Country, Thanks to this program I feel happy in home Country again.

Thank You Taxa.

there are many dull danish tv shows but not this one. this show is about a litle taxi compani trying to live in a hard competition. this show has got everything murder drugs corruption in the police. I like the karakters and the plot and that cool danish talking.
