1.\u00a0Rita (Netflix)<\/h2>\n

Rita is an unconventional school teacher. Though she is great at what she does, she can be just as immature as her teenage students when it comes to solving her problems.

If you\u2019re particularly curious about how the Danish school system works, this\u00a0is the Danish TV series you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n
