Friday night is stay-in night for me now, ever since I discovered the wondrous Danish programme Rejseholdet (Unit One).
[And I also have to stay home to finish my Arabic homework for Saturday! ;-)]
Many, many thanks to SBS (our free-to-air multicultural and multilingual broadcaster) for showing Unit One, as well as the many other fine programmes from around the world it shows on TV and the many interesting programmes on their radio service. We're greatly blessed to have such a service here.
But back to Unit One: this Emmy award-winning series concerns itself with a mobile task force that is dispatched to various places all over Denmark to help the local police solve cases. As well as very interesting cases, the characters are well developed and we gain insights into their various private lives and the troubles and turbulations there. In addition, the acting is fanastic, and the characters are realistic and ones you find yourself emotionally attached to. The scenery and filming are also spectacular. A great show.
