Diagonaldi Very well executed

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Mr Andserson I wish more people outside Denmark watched this series, most Danes watched this more than one many time like Americans watch Starwars more than one time. Danes reflect themselves in the most perfectly cut out characters made by the writer Lise Nørgaard.And also a very interesting historical period where we were going from old times to new times but also the fight against fascism during ww2 and the people who stood up against it and the people who didn't. Besides that its a heartfelt family drama even the gay discussion comes into play and i don't know of any drama that does that from back then.All in all just great and if people can live with danish language would be great for anyone.

mortensn This is arguably the best Danish TV series ever made. It captures the time up to and during World War 2 in Denmark perfectly. It captures the class structure and fundamental values of Danish society perfectly. It captures timeless 'big themes' like ambition, family, courage, revenge and love perfectly. The writing is great, the characters are great and the acting is great.The character development is particularly interesting. Without spoiling the plot it is clear that a central theme is the transformation of Mads Skjern's from an entrepreneurial commoner to a powerful business tycoon and how he changes his character through small incremental steps in response to what he considers necessary actions along the way. A phenomenal script.

madwes If you have even the slightest interest of Denmark and Danish culture from the late 1930'ies to the early 1950'ies, this is a *MUST SEE*.Apart from being a brilliant saga of life and death of the citizens of a small city, it's also filled with all those tiny details that makes it seeworthy. Acting and direction are outstanding.

Thorning A great story: Denmark before, under and after World War 2.
