Reviews

wentworthstreet I have never cared one jot for the eponymous 'heroine' of this series. Yes, she had a sad childhood, blah blah. So do lots of people, they don't all turn into a colossal, self absorbed pain in the a**e (English version!) like Dicte. I only persevered with Seasons 1 & 2 because of interesting storylines and excellent supporting characters. The best of all being John Wagner, a quietly intelligent, thoughtful Police officer who acted as a very necessary counterbalance to Dicte's wearyingly repetitive demand to always get her own way, no matter who becomes collateral damage.Imagine my dismay when in Episode 1 of Series 3, Wagner is shot and killed whilst helping to free Dicte's husband from kidnappers. Frankly, it would have been a blessing if Dicte or even Bo had been shot instead. I am not sure if Lars Brygmann, the actor who portrayed Wagner, wanted to leave the show, or if it was a decision made by the writers/producers. If the former then, fair enough. If the latter, they could not have made a worse mistake. The show is much the poorer for Wagner's absence.

bjarias ..so many productions appear artificial, or produced for 'effect.' This is a show that feels 'real-life'. These characters do not come off as actors, and that is something so welcome in sitting back and watching things play out. Iben Hjejle is a favorite actor, on either side of the pond... she is just so natural. Have been fortunate to see her in other works... she never disappoints. She is someone you would just like to meet and really get to know. Of course the story lines have to been taken independently, because no one person would have so much happen to them in real-world situations. But there is something truly unique in this production, it has a warmth and closeness, and she and all the other regular cast members make that happen time and again. So glad it does sparingly occur, because it gives hope it will somehow come about again. Special is special... even if it does not happen very frequently.

pensman Dicte Svendsen is a flawed character. There is some expository back story regarding her rotten relationship with her parents, an illegitimate son she was forced to give up, and a cheating spouse — all of which are meant to explain her poor sense of morals; willingness to steal, lie, and cheat from her friends and work colleagues; and lead a life of loose responsibility. If the series had any obligation to reality, she should have been killed by Bosnian baby-traffickers in episode two. Not a particularly flattering picture of Denmark and its inhabitants emerges from this series. Very few of the actors would be considered attractive but that is not as much of an issue as it is say for American TV. Even when we have dirty cops or reporters they are or look like Jennifer Lopez or Ryan Eggold. There are some interesting plot lines focusing on politics,incest, blackmail, organ theft, immigration. prostitution, and sports fixing among others. And through it all, Dicte and her two friends share booze and have affairs with a variety of men. Let's say to be current (2016) that this isn't the Denmark Bernie Sanders would reference on the campaign trail. It's all in Danish with subtitles and it's clear by the dialogue that the PC police aren't monitoring Danish TV. Worth a look for the curious. Six and a half stars.

breezybealle Thankfully Netflix has added the first season of this to its streaming lineup otherwise I would never have even heard of it. I was hooked from the first episode and even though it was subtitled, soon you get so caught up in it you don't even realize you're still reading. Although Dicte is the main character, there is no shortage of surrounding characters whose stories are just as deep that you find yourself wanting to see more of them. The setting is beautiful, the stories intertwine perfectly from one to the next and the cast is superb.My only complaint is that they haven't released the second season anywhere that I can view it, so I will have to wait, albeit impatiently, for the next episodes. If only America had more shows like this, I'd never leave the house.
