This week's Thursday Movie Picks is TMP Television Edition - Non-English
---
So it's Thursday again and what's become my favourite Thursday of the month since I'm now watching more TV than movies. My picks are from the ones I have caught up with this year.
Borgen (2010 - 2013) (2022 - )
A Danish series following the lives of politicians, press advisers and political journalists. I picked this two months ago for the journalist theme. Anyway, it's a really good drama, so definitely one to check out if you have a chance. And apparently Netflix has revived it for a
season 4 in 2022 so I am looking forward to see what has happened to the characters since.
Rita (2012 - 2020)
A Danish series following the life of the outspoken and rebellious teacher Rita. Just finished the latest season today and I have really liked this charming drama that's filled with humor and quirky characters and have enjoyed seeing how the characters' storylines have progressed over the years. This series has even been remade in a few countries and there's also a failed US pilot that never got picked for a season.
How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) (2019 - )
A German series following two teenagers who start an online store selling drugs. I really enjoyed this fun quirky comedy. If you like sort of those mockumentary type of thing, I would recommend this too, because in between the regular type of narrative following the two teens and their entrepreneurial adventures there are little snippets of the characters being interviewed for a sort of documentary that takes place sometime in the future talking about their experience.

I've been meaning to watch How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) since season 1 came out but I keep forgetting the series exists.
ReplyDeleteOh no...it's such a short bingeable series. You'll be able to finish it quickly once you get to it.
DeleteHow to Sell Drugs Online is on my list as well. Getting to it soon I hope.
ReplyDeleteI so suck this week so I really cheated. I don't know any of these but I wouldn't mind seeing Rita and I love the Last Supper look
ReplyDeleteRita - yes it does have that look doesn't it. I suspect it's because the last season is probably the last for the series.
DeleteAll of these sound really interesting, I'll have to look into the ones on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteThey're all on Netflix for me...but different places have different titles.
DeleteI've heard so many good things about Borgen (and we even touched upon the show in a course at Uni). I really need to check it out.
ReplyDeleteBorgen, it's really good. I'm quite surprised that no one else participating in TMP has seen it.
DeleteThat sounds like an interesting class. Let me guess? Was it a media studies/journalism class or script writing class?
Helllo mate nice post
