mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

hanslaurentius Dicte is very entertaining, also because of the main character's quite obnoxious behavior and the wide range of topics addressed. Also nice are the long developing character lines, although funny enough Dicte herself remains pretty much the same throughout. Nice to watch together, contains enough fun and thrill for any couple.

Majikat A great couple of series so far for the enjoyers of detecting thrillers. Coming from the journalistic angle, the impulsive behaviour of the main character, makes for a blessing and a curse

rwade-944-564529 I started watching the show mostly to get a glimpse into Denmark. I'm sure their TV programs aren't exactly like real life the same way as American shows. However, the scenery and language and social ways can be observed and enjoyed.Over time I have grown to dislike Dicte herself more and more. She lies constantly. Being a reporter, one would expect her to be somewhat pushy, but she fearlessly barges through life like a bull in a china shop, not caring what or who she hurts along the way. She showed how far she can go when, after being warned by Wagner (in season 3) to not act on her emotions and interfere with the negotiations, she did just that and caused great harm (I won't spill all the beans). Now one of the best characters is gone. And now I really despise the Dicte character.Someone pointed out to me that Netflix likes shows where there are no good guys, where even the supposedly "good" ones have their dark sides. This show epitomizes that. I will probably watch the next episode to see what Dicte does next, but I'm not hopeful that I'll find it worth watching anymore after that.

Bene Cumb Denmark is a country/society well known for women with strong character and goals, women who do not lose heart because of setbacks. They are usually engaged at politics, law machinery, or journalism - as Dicte Svendsen in Aarhus, in the 2nd largest city. There is different kind of crime out there, but as there is more focus on women characters, the crimes are related to adultery, children, health, etc., i.e. "softer" topics. The course of action is quite smooth though, and leading actors like Iben Hjejle as Dicte and Lars Brygmann as John Wagner (I have discovered his talent and nicety rather recently) provide additional value to the series of 10 episodes (you better watch them in succession, flashbacks can be confusing). Moreover, there is a catchy supporting cast, particularly Dar Salim as Bo Skytte and Thue Ersted Rasmussen as Peter Boutrup; the ladies performing Dicte's best friends tend to remain in the shadow of Hjejle. Another "underplot" is provided by nice panorama of Aarhus and surroundings, making me feel like to visit the place again (after ca 20 years).Well, Dicte is no Bro/Broen or Forbrydelsen, but in line with Anna Pihl, for example. Anyway, admirers of Hjejle and Brygmann will not be disappointed.
