Rita (Seasons 1–5)

Rita (2012) is a Danish comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. The series follows Rita, a teacher at a private school who is blunt, independent, and wildly popular with her students — and an ongoing headache for every adult around her.

Every workday brings a new collision: with the headmaster, fellow teachers, parents, and her own messy private life. Rita refuses to soften her edges. Mille Dinesen plays her without a trace of sentimentality, which is exactly why the character works.

Produced in Denmark with the candor Scandinavian television is known for, the series treats classroom life and the people inside it with uncommon honesty. Stream Rita (2012) online on iFILM.
