Very disappointing...

The Age of Commercialism

not horrible nor great

Better than most people think

I like watching everything that goes back in time and this is a winner, I like that it takes place in the summer all the time and focus on how it is to be a townie visiting Jutland from time to time. It's not because there are so many things in it, but there are the normal woman-man drama, and that is what I like. The taboos gets in and you see how it was back then to be the underdog. It is nice!

I was introduced into this series by an acquaintance who had me watch it and I loved it instantly.It is a "light" TV show set in the aftermath of Danish Belle-Epoque, during the 20s, in a charming, little seaside hotel in the middle of nowhere run by a hateful, miser landlord and his struggling, hardworking wife, with a small entourage of country-side chamber maids and parlour maids.They host the same bunch of guests every year and their stories get intertwined with those of the local villagers, in a very particular period of European history, just before the stock market crash of the 29 and when Hitler was a rising promise in Germany.There is a half-comedy, half-drama tempo in the show, and perhaps this middle ground is the issue here: either you like this melange or it won't be convincing for you.If you like the period and enjoy Danish shows, you will probably like it a lot. The screenwriters are very well known and skilled authors, and although it doesn't climb to the top of Nordic programmes and it lacks a little depth, it is well produced and acted, and the stories have interest for all audiences.It is an 8 for me.
