Ole Bornedal and Danmarks Radio has made it their quest to make a fool out of Denmark and all of the Danes, by putting up this awful and anti-historical attempt to tell the story of the war of 1864.
The story is out of synch with its time, and seems to be an attempt to preach modern morality and socialistic views into the past. People of great importance for Denmark is put up as maniacs, and the focus on taboo and sex i massive - especially cow-sex and children masturbating!
The acting is awful beside the German actors who shows class!
Avoid this series at all cost, it it simply not worth the time!
Ole Bornedal who directed the series uses the national history of Denmark to tell an untrue story about the motives and reasons for war in the mid 1800s and by adding loads of sayings, slang's and modern speech and behavior the series becomes untrustworthy!
