His acting is shall we say very middle eastern, showy, impulsive, macho and the least bit tolerant low key scandinavian. They are usually engaged at politics, law machinery, or journalism - as Dicte Svendsen in Aarhus, in the 2nd largest city. The two have a testy, ongoing banter. 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. We will be watching closely to see if it shows up somewhere else.
But those flaws are rendered insignificant by the engrossing stories, engaging characters, and fine acting. This is a review of season 1 only. The series is subtitled in English. When a season ends, they could give the audience a heads up. She has a new baby and a not-so-secret crush on John Wagner. The characters are real and complex. Each of the five two-part stories in Series 1 involve children in some way.
That said, great fun and compulsive to watch. Dicte is a crime reporter who goes back to her hometown of Aarhus after a divorce. Hun er desillusioneret og ulykkelig, og da der pludselig er bl? Look for Dicte season 2 on Netflix in 2015. Bo moves in with Dicte. 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 loved this series and it amazes me how quickly I got used to the sub-titles.
Think he is a heart throb and also can act. Everything points to Tina M? She works closely with the police, but often leaps to wrong conclusions based on her own background. This is a Danish comedy. Benedicte seeks out the priest in Tina M? Have to disagree with comments about Bo. I hope Netflix picks up all the episodes made of this terrific show. Lærke Winther Andersen as Anne. Hun indtager derfor ludomanernes milj? Some of it, particularly in the last 4 episodes, was straight out of U.
Wish Netflix would have a way of communicating whether or not they are going to continue a series. I love the complextity and credibility of the characters. Loved Scott snd Bailey and Vera! The series is named for the title character, Dicte Svendsen, played by Iben Hjejle. I watched the first two seasons — love the storylines. Netflix is now streaming the Danish series Dicte. Dicte takes its name from the main character, a 40-something woman who, recently divorced, has recently moved to Aarhus, works as a journalist and manages to find herself, quite often, in places where she finds a dead body or witnesses a crime. There are 10 episodes of 45 minutes each in the first season; a pair of episodes completes a story.
Well written and well produced. It is a glaring absence that distracts from the overall excellence of the show. I wish this wonderful program had writers equal to the quality of the acting and directing. Shallow characters — a mom who had a son she obsessed over, found and then forgot about. Anyway, admirers of Hjejle and Brygmann will not be disappointed. The show is based upon a series of thrillers by Elsebeth Egholm. Things get more serious between Bo and Dicte, and Wagner is oblivious to an office romance happening right in front of him.
The characters were all beguiling and the acting topnotch, casting perfect — which is why some of the absurd plotting was so annoying. Loved the story and all the subplots. Ditte Ylva Olsen in Dicte. The storylines in Dicte are compelling, but plots do unfold with varying degrees of plausibility. Tanken om at blive mor fylder meget for Rose, men hun m? Dicte was appealing and impossible to stop watching from the first scene. All the evidence points towards an extensive human trafficking ring, but can a mysterious woman named Grace lead the pair to the killer? 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. I will check in with Netflix periodically to see if they have added season 2.
Lars Brygmann plays policeman John Wagner. Thoroughly disappointed when season 2 ended-wanted more. Dicte visits her father in the hospital. I will not post any spoilers, but if you watched the Alan Alda episode on 30 Rock, you might find episode 8 hard to take seriously. The impulsive and persistent Dicte Svendsen is convincingly played by Iben Hjejle, who American film buffs may remember from High Fidelity. Like them, though, the focus is squarely on character development. Ditte Ylva Olsen is fairly new to acting, but there are lots of.
Torsten and Anne have broken up and Rose gets to know her grandmother. Endnu engang involverer Dicte sig i efterforskningen, der denne gang giver hende indblik i Roses nye arbejdsplads, og d? Dreams and Diamonds — Part 2 Dicte and Wagner are lead into the world of prostitution and a mysterious woman helps them apprehend the killer. She soon becomes well acquainted with a local police inspector, Wagner, as she both helps and hinders investigations. I just finished watching the two seasons on Netflix here in Canada.
