Rita

I am from Norway and me and my sisters have watched this series together. Season 1 was amazing and it really got us to love the series. Season 2 kept it quite good and we kept loving the characters we fell in love with. But at Season 3 we all agreed that it was getting worse and we got bored of some of the characters. When we found out Season 4 came out we didn't watch it at first but I wanted to see how it all went with the Characters I once fell in Love with. After watching the first episode I had a feeling this might get us back into the series we all Loved.

I got all of us together and we sat down and watched Season 4 IT WAS AMAZING! Seriously the acting was perfect and the younger version of Rita and her story was done so perfect. We all understood why she hated her mother for leaving and more. It all made sense and it was incredible to watch.

It was sad but heartwarming and the emotions we felt together was really amazing.

I dont think this series could have been as good if season 4 wasn't made the way it was and I sadly think alot of people have already given up on the series and wont get to Season 4. But if they do they will truly love this series.

I was personally amazed on how all the acting was put together and it is hard to explain how good it was.

But if you have not gotten to Season 4 you are missing out watch Season 4 its WORTH IT!

I stumbled upon this show on Netflix and ended up having a Rita marathon weekend. I'm not usually a fan of subtitles, but it was very easy to follow and ever so enjoyable. The writers have provided a rich story with a complex but powerful woman as the main character. There are so many wonderful story lines and characters. The casting is right on. The show is a little edgy for US standards, which is a plus for me. It deals with real topics and I feel does an outstanding job.I especially enjoyed learning more about Denmark, a little about the school system(I know it is TV, but still a glimpse) and being introduced to Denmark TV. This show has me searching for more Danish programs. I can't wait for season 3. Please hurry up Netflix.

I fell head over heels for this show. I watch and read a lot of UK and Scandinavian stuff and usually find it more interesting than US TV. I found "Rita" by accident and liked it immediately..possibly because I taught school for awhile and know what a hard job it is. I found the school issues totally plausible and loved Rita's determination to help her students, even to her own detriment. I binged watched this show to the point of dreaming about the characters. The lead actress is really good....I loved just watching her but liked the writing too. Seeing "gay" being handled as no big deal was very refreshing. I just finished season 3 today and am already in withdrawal. More! I need more! I am a 70 year old grandmother who likes good solid stories. I hope they add more seasons of this show.

I truly enjoyed this show on Netflix and I didn't get enough. It is very different television than we have here in the U.S. They are more open and accepting of different lifestyles. Rita's character is very complex and I love her. She does so many things wrong and breaks rules in an effort to do the right thing for the school children. She is a teacher that truly cares for the kids she teaches but she isn't the best mother. This show reminds me of Nurse Jackie which is an excellent show on Showtime (Cable here in the US). I learned a little about their school system and their culture and it made me want to visit Denmark. After watching all 3 season I want to know if there will be more to come.

I really enjoyed watching this series. I saw it first on Netflix. And then was able to get Season 2 elsewhere. The story is about Rita, as in the title, a parent of a dis-functional single parent family whose character is so well portrayed and played. I do not speak Danish so I relied on the sub- titles but that did not significantly detract me from the film enjoyment. Rita plays the role of a mother, a teacher and a outgoing sexually driven, outspoken individual whose life tribulations make a gripping tale. She is a just as kind and caring a teacher as she is hot headed and aggressive towards her dominant peers and challenges authority wherever she sees it to be unfair or irrational. Makes for a very entertaining and emotional drama.
