I think it's time for some people to admit that when it comes to certain things, they have become addicts. This is not a condemnation. I was there with Forbrydelsen III (which at least was never going to be shown in the US as-is, and DK had the sense to open the stream worldwide due to ex-pat outrage, and which I not only watched streaming in Danish without subtitles but then also downloaded later when fansubs were available).

And I get downvoted by people who don't want to admit to an addiction? Rule one of addiction: Denial.
Fansubs of Danish programming? Now I've heard that as well!
Forbrydelsen was a worldwide phenomenon. Surprised you never heard of it. AMC in the US re-did it (badly) as The Killing.
Considering I am Danish, it would incredibly surprising if I had never heard of it. Personally, I am not a big fan of it, it was just a bunch of mumbling going on. I needed subtitles too!
Why the surprise? Many danish movies and TV programs have seen pretty huge international success.
I do apologise, I was trying sarcasm. Danish programmes are usually pretty hard to come by online. Things have changed, obviously, but I still miss some of our older programming, which are still difficult to obtain.
