The acting by all characters is wonderful. The 1960s period depictions hilarious. The styling, clothes, music are a treat. The beautiful period cars and visits to the TV/Radio shop are exquisite. The radios and TVs on display are artistic furniture pieces. For me, Maria Rossing and Nicolai Jørgensen steal the show. Maria as Birthe transcends her humble farm-grown roots and Nicolai, as Frans portrays his shyness and later his coming out in 1960s Denmark to perfection. In particular, Nicolai's performance is a career milestone. We feel his fear and pain and sadness living in a world where he is not accepted for who he is. I am not through all of Season 1, and we wait to see how Birthe's husband and family fare.

This show is at the top of our all-time favorite list. Extremely well produced, directed, scripted and acted. I love the show so much, I found the theme song and installed it as my ring tone on my phone. Sophia Helen as Swedish police detective Saga Norland puts on a career performance. Thure Lindhart as Henrik, Saga's Danish Police partner, was a great addition to the final three seasons.

Dark, but poignant examination of a man pushed beyond his breaking point. Suzanne (Sarah Suco) stole the show - so very funny. All the cast was great.

The "Mike" character is so awful, the audience quickly finds themselves rooting for murder? What does that say about us?! The only problem I have with this series is that none of the characters is likable. They are all either weak or bad people.

I much enjoyed, the story, the acting and the script.

The lead character's daughter, played by Magali Woch, steals the show with her hilarious and spot-on portrayal of Sophie, a self-absorbed mother and wife - in a failing marriage.

Enjoyable suspense thriller. Ardalan Esmaili is especially good at the antagonist Iyad.

Very funny. Great offbeat look at life in the early 1960's Spain. Characters are well developed from the get-go.

Well done, but it does focus a little too much on certain "green" strategies, such as burning biomass. Lots of info that was new to me. Some of the icons of the environmental movement come off a little tarnished. As someone very interested in combating Climate Change and improving our environment, I wish the movie offered more of a solution, or better approach.

Decent story, but not crafted to the level of a first run movie. More like something you would watch on TV. Not bad, but not great either.

Love this show. A cast of highly developed characters. All characters are flawed, but you still care about them. Dicte drives me nuts with her unbridled emotional response to life, but that's just excellent acting. My favorite character is John Wagner (Lars Brygmann). Thanks so much to MHz Choice to bring Dicte to the USA.
