Rita

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.

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....

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.

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.

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!
