Rita

Rita, both the character and the show, are complex, irreverent, beautiful and wildly entertaining.

This show is SO well written, especially for...a comedy? I think it's too bawdy and funny to be called a framed, but there is NOTHING silly or sitcom-y about it either. I'm so glad Netflix didn't ruin it with terrible English dubbing, as they do with so many foreign language movies and series. I don't know why they cannot find better actors to do the dubbing; it really diminishes the experience to SEE great performances but hear...amateur hour. Watching Rita in its intended Danish is harder work, but so worth it. Please give it a try.

Excelente show! I have just binged the first 3 seasons and can't stop! All the storylines are interesting and well portrayed. The first 2 seasons focused more on her family and the season 3 focuses more on school life and politics. I wish we could see more of Rita's children on the show. I love it whenever Ricco, Molly and Jeppe appear. I'd like to see more of them. And soon season 5 starts! Awesome!!

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.

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 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.
