I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed this show. Don’t normally watched subtitled shows because a 40-minute show takes an extra 10 or 15 minutes to watch sometimes when the subtitles go by to fast and you miss something and have to go back and re-watch. Especially, this show that has some very good dialog. In the earlier 2000’s I spent two years living between Denmark and Sweden on business so I was able to pick up a little of the nuanced dialog. I think I read somewhere Showtime is doing a version of Rita based on the Danish show with Lena Headey as the lead. After watching the Danish version I really can’t see Headey in the Rita role.

I've loved every episode of this show! Rita is awesome. She's a wreck sometimes, and makes really bad decisions but she owns it. Great series.

Awesome! Good plot, teacher fighting against the system.
