The World Wants More Danish TV

The Danish TV series has to be Matador. Not sure about its availability or if it's the sort of show you had in mind. But it's entertaining and really well written and it tells a lot about Denmark and the Danish self image. I'm re-watching it now with my family and we are all really enjoying it.

I think the biggest issue for danish releases is that the producers and distributors haven't bothered with english subtitles, even though most releases would see a scandinavian edition, but not an english one for whatever reason.

I would love to show my girlfriend one of the Olsenbanden movies, but there are no international releases I could find. I did write to Nordisk Film to ask about it, but I got no response back.

Worth noting this is a 40 year old show. Brilliant, but not very similar in atmosphere or production value to the "nordic noir" which is currently popular.

You can buy the Blu-Ray/DVD set on Amazon for a reasonable amount of money. Region 2 though, but the newer version has English subtitles.
