XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

agkona At first, I couldn't figure out who the target audience was. But I love where it has gone. Rita, Hjordis, the various principals, her lovers. So interesting. I did have a hard time with her incessant smoking, but I understand it's part of her character and Europe. I think season 4 has been the best and I was truly shocked by Episode Family, but I figured it was going there. Loved the Dragonborn song at the end of that episode. Rita reminds me of me a little when I was in high school and I turned out ok. Hope there is a Season 5. I was intrigued by her throwing her flannel shirt in the box and shown disposing of the box. Will Rita turn a new leaf?

vsapardanovska I really had a great opinion about this show and found it funny how Americans find it very progressive :) But ok, let's say it touches some contemporary issues and the main character is just a human being, having a dark and good side.But then comes the 4th season. Invented out of nowhere. Predictable to the point of making you sick, since from episode one you already know what will happen, but you need to go though the agony of watching 8 episodes, when it's finally revealed.It's always a pity to see a good show, going down the drain because of the greediness to earn more on it. C'est la vie...anyway, there are still three great seasons to be watched.I really hope they won't go for season 5, making it even more desperate.

Prospero28 If you are looking for a show about an adult who acts like a spoiled teenager, mediocre writing and implausible situations, this is the show for you. Otherwise, not so much. Rita would probably have come across as a "really cool chick" in 1975: cigarettes, swearing, lots of casual sex, etc. etc. Now she just seems (at best) rather immature. Like an insecure, socially awkward teenager, the show tries 'way too hard to be cool. And pretty much fails.

Moviegoer19 I just finished watching season 2 on Netflix (saw Season 1 last year). I'm eager to see Season 3. Why? Because not only do I totally enjoy watching it, but I so admire the writers and producers of it for bringing the world a show that has a truly progressive woman as the main character. And, not only that, but it is the first show that I've seen in a really long time in which the main character has an abortion. Probably because the show is Danish and not American; in the US no women on TV have abortions, even if they get pregnant through rape or incest. In the US, getting pregnant and having babies is celebrated to such an extreme degree on TV and in movies that it's not realistic. I've gotten tired of seeing characters get pregnant, not want to be, yet have the baby anyway. Not so on Rita. Yay! Women's right to choose is still alive on TV somewhere in the world. Not only that, but Rita has the confidence and chutzpah of no other character that I can remember who's not holding a gun. I celebrate a character who dares to fight bureaucracy and that which she doesn't believe in. Bravo, Rita!
