Described by Ricky Gervais as a small screen masterpiece, and it is hard to disagree.
A genius piece of writing and some terrific performances, particularly from Jacob Lohmann and Karen-Lyse Mynster.
Admittedly, the slow, subtle build-up might lose a few viewers. I wondered if anything was actually happening in the early episodes, yet the seeds of several inconspicuous mini-plots had already been sown without my noticing.
The way in which the various stories interweave and play out may be the most impressive aspect. Some of the very best of Danish drama. - 8.8/10.
