Hjørdis

I've always been interested in Danish culture and wanted to watch content in the language so I found this. Needless to say, it didn't disappoint. If there were more episodes, I'd watch them. The actors work very well off each other and the conflicts are believable. It's cool to hear Danish being spoken; sounds like German, only more guttural and muffled.

There's a great blend of dramedy in this miniseries.

If you like Danish media, check it out. I'm definitely going to watch Rita later.

Love this and its not my usual thing (bit of a contrast with Walking Dead), a very lively, upbeat, heartfelt message. Deals with real issues in - I would imagine - every public school in Europe and the USA. The acting is first rate and the humor funny, even though its very family friendly (unlike some of Rita). Hjørdis herself is a delight, with all the elements of a sad, pathetic character she is, in fact, the complete opposite. Judging by IMDb the child actors haven't done anything else but they were all fantastic. It doesn't matter that the outcome is totally predictable, its that kind of show - we don't want shock factor here, just a safe little world in which Hjørdis always triumphs. That's why its such a good interlude to the heavier Scandinavian stuff my wife and I usually watch (The Bridge being a fine example). t'm just hoping they make a second series.

I've never posted a review ever before... But I watched Rita and loved it and I loved Hjódis so much that I watched the season and she was astounding! She's a phenomenal quirky actress and I loved how she represented all the socially awkward children as unique and special, it warmed my heart! Big big thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I mean its a really bad show, the lead actor seems as though she has a superiority complex, juding as how she has this constant self righteous smirk on her dull face. They took the worst thing about Rita and centered the entire spin-off about her. I watched one episode and my stomach is literally churning. What a load of fart Mediocrity for the mediocre, which makes for a broad appeal among DR's avid viewers

The lead actress is so gifted for this series !

Wonderful storyline and great casting !
