Hjørdis

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 !

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 watched Rita and thought the series was great. Like everyone, Rita had flaws in her character. She was also unapologetic about her views, decisions and needs. However, she was a good teacher and her students and children, in general, were always a priority. She and Hjordis were great mates, advisers and colleagues.

It's true that Hjorids idolized Rita but she was wise enough to blossom on her own with the help of her husband, Uffe, and son, Reinuff. However in Hjordis's own series, they weren't mentioned or seen. I found this deletion jarring without any explanation.

I remember seeing Hjordis's father, though, and they rode bicycles.

Otherwise, I loved both series for their humor, empathy and deftness in handling each episode's storyline.

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.
