Just came across a truly funny programme called Rita on US Netflix.

It is a Danish series with english subtitles. Rita is an insane teacher and is more dysfunctional than her children.

You know its going to be funny from first scene where she corrects a spelling mistake on the graffiti in ladies toilet (won't say any more as it would be a spoiler then),

I must admit, in part, as I have lived in Denmark (can't speak it much though), I am used to their darker humour which I actually like (see another great Danish(/Swedish) show - the fantastic "Bridge" which also had a lot of dark humour).

Rita is on most Netflix regions including the UK. I have seen series 1 but not series 2 which was recently added. Series 1 was brilliant.

This show is absolutely brilliant. Love the way it is written. Have just watched season 1 today. Rita is such a good character.

I love this show and have watched Series 1 and 2 of it.

A fantastic show and I already knew who Mille Dinesen was from a brief run in Borgen,

It is very entertaining show and can jump from being very light to very heavy extremely quickly and vice versa.

Hjordis is an absolute hoot though and anyone that likes Zoey in Nurse Jackie will like the loveable but awkward young teacher.

The supporting cast are great too and I can't recommend the show enough..

Just finished season 2 after watching season 1 early last year I think! Love it, Mille Dinesen is a fantastic actress. Definitely recommend it and can't wait to start on season 3.

I've only just found this recently so still on the first series. I really like it, Mille reminds me of Linda Hamilton. If I was going to be a teeny bit picky Rita's mother said she was very young when she had Rita but the age difference between the two does not look like she would have been particularly young, there could easily be a 25-30 year age gap between them.

I hadn't noticed, but now you mention it, I can see the similarity.

Apparently there's going to be a spin-off series called "Hjørdis".

Hjørdis is on Netflix. I think there's four episodes. Just about to start watching. Just thought I'd give anyone a heads-up.

Just discovered Rita a couple of weeks ago, it is amazing!

Now have watched series 1 and 2 and am halfway through series 3!
One of the best programs I have seen recently, I've been recommending it to everyone!
