The show confirms that Denmark is full of messed up people too, at least on Danish TV. The most striking thing about "Rita" is not the degrading sex she engages in, but the nihilism that runs rampant through almost all of the characters and story lines. As per American TV the men really take it the chops, except when they are "with" Rita. I gotta have some positive aspect in what is supposed to be entertainment.I only suffered through 2 episodes but no one seemed to have much hope beyond the one couple getting married and opening a sandwich shop. Her kids are a mess, the new teacher is cartoonish. She treats everyone but children like crap. I knew a teacher like that. The only redeeming aspects of show were the ridicule of the principal (are all principals doofuses!?!) and the send up of the helicopter parents. Loved the "Sugar Council" The acting was uneven but above average.
