It was entertaining enough, but after the first episode it became quite predictable. And the characters are in general very one-dimensional, not like real people.

When the Dust Settles
(2020)
Badly scripted big production!
23 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Seen first 3 episodes. Not very well scripted with serious plot holes. The characters are in general rather flat and stereotypical and in some cases suddenly act so much out of character it becomes unreliable. A few scenes has qualities in the acting and by showing moments of human emotion and even an atypical depiction of an elderly lesbian couple in an intimate moment kind of made it bearable watching through the first 3 episodes.
It's hard for me to understand, how a big production like this can be so badly scripted. It seems like the most interesting drama in danish television the last couple of years has been in smaller, less ambitious productions, mainly targeted towards a younger audience.

The Girlfriend Experience
(2016–2021)
Alienation in the modern world
13 November 2018
Very interesting series, well crafted, thought-provoking, both intriguing and depressing to watch... As I see it, it's very much about being obsessed about material wealth and the independence in having money and how that can be a very addictive substitute for real intimacy and trust in one's life. And it's about being addicted to different sorts of short-term pleasures, arising from as well as creating more loneliness. And it's about power, having control and protect oneself in an environment, where everyone are objects or means to an end for each other... The world of lawyers, corporates etc. And it's about a modern society, where basic human needs for connection, sharing our whole being including our sexuality, are capitalised... A society where friendship and love often are substituted by professional relations... The series main focus is on sexual relations and the sex business - but the same dynamics also applies to how therapists, coaches and other professionals can be substitutes, when there's a lack of trust in friends and family...
