Dreadfully Boring

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is probably one of the best series I've ever watched on Netflix. This show will make you laugh and cry at the same time. It also teaches a lot of life lessons as well. Honestly I'm about to watch it again!

I am from Norway and me and my sisters have watched this series together. Season 1 was amazing and it really got us to love the series. Season 2 kept it quite good and we kept loving the characters we fell in love with. But at Season 3 we all agreed that it was getting worse and we got bored of some of the characters. When we found out Season 4 came out we didn't watch it at first but I wanted to see how it all went with the Characters I once fell in Love with. After watching the first episode I had a feeling this might get us back into the series we all Loved.I got all of us together and we sat down and watched Season 4 IT WAS AMAZING! Seriously the acting was perfect and the younger version of Rita and her story was done so perfect. We all understood why she hated her mother for leaving and more. It all made sense and it was incredible to watch.It was sad but heartwarming and the emotions we felt together was really amazing.I dont think this series could have been as good if season 4 wasn't made the way it was and I sadly think alot of people have already given up on the series and wont get to Season 4. But if they do they will truly love this series. I was personally amazed on how all the acting was put together and it is hard to explain how good it was. But if you have not gotten to Season 4 you are missing out watch Season 4 its WORTH IT!

If you are looking for a show about an adult who acts like a spoiled teenager, mediocre writing and implausible situations, this is the show for you. Otherwise, not so much. Rita would probably have come across as a "really cool chick" in 1975: cigarettes, swearing, lots of casual sex, etc. etc. Now she just seems (at best) rather immature. Like an insecure, socially awkward teenager, the show tries 'way too hard to be cool. And pretty much fails.

I fell head over heels for this show. I watch and read a lot of UK and Scandinavian stuff and usually find it more interesting than US TV. I found "Rita" by accident and liked it immediately..possibly because I taught school for awhile and know what a hard job it is. I found the school issues totally plausible and loved Rita's determination to help her students, even to her own detriment. I binged watched this show to the point of dreaming about the characters. The lead actress is really good....I loved just watching her but liked the writing too. Seeing "gay" being handled as no big deal was very refreshing. I just finished season 3 today and am already in withdrawal. More! I need more! I am a 70 year old grandmother who likes good solid stories. I hope they add more seasons of this show.
