Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Desperate Housewives, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- 5 seasons: a few months of evenings, episodes of about 38 minutes, about 25 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Independent, outspoken and adored by her students, private school teacher Rita fares less well with adults.
