Rita

Second Scand. series I've watched (Bonus Family was frist) and do i ever like both. Maybe NetFlix needs a separate category for them. They are highly entertaining and have the rare ability to get my attention almost from the first minute to the last and I instantly bond with all of the characters. Can't say that about many American series other than Breaking Bad and the Americans. Anyway, I am turning into a Scandinavian admirer and enjoying every minute of it

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!

What a ride this show is! All the characters are perfectly cast and presented. Rita is obnoxious and she certainly must give off a whiff with all that smoking, but you definitely want her on your side, because really she is an example of a very decent human being. Hjordis is the most wonderfully vulnerable yet amazingly strong person you could wish to meet and the fact that she and Uffe can converse fluently in Elvish is a stroke of genius. This series has made me gasp in horror, giggle hysterically, cry in anger and sadness, laugh out loud at some of the antics, repulsed me in some scenes and warmed my heart in others. It is so well rounded and although the last episode is not a cliffhanger and could be a suitable end I do hope there will be more. Please let there be more....

This is a great show. The writers do a great job of keeping the show from being predictable. The characters are unique and the attention to their individual dialogue is second to none. I love each of the characters they have developed, as they weave their way through the most interesting story lines. Just exceptional writing. Humorous, yet real. Fun, but never juvenile. And the acting? Second to none. Never over the top, always real and tangible and on character. Can not say enough about the lead actress. And so great to see such a strong feminine and yet humanly imperfect role model. The only issue I have is that I blow through the seasons too fast because there is no way to stop watching it. Watch it, and fall in love with all the characters.

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.
