Mix of horror and humour, that feels very unique.
Lars von Trier knows no boundaries, not even of silliness.
Mind-bending and mythical precursor to the Dogma 95 movement started by Trier and Vinterberg.
Slow-paced & shot in a grainy style but it explores interesting themes & is effectively unsettling if you stay with it. Also darkly humorous
This may not be every one's cup of tea, but definitely interesting"
Good but not of the best. Seen most of it before and got boring arter two episodes.
A hidden gem of a TV-show. Eerie yet charming.
