Matador is a TV series that depicts why modern Denmark is what it is, or at least an idea on how it came to be.
The idea for the series is written by one of our greatest authors Lise Nørgaard, and with the aid of some very skilled scriptwriters Paul Hammerich, Karen Smith and Jens Louis Petersen, they delivered the story that then was brought to life by the, in Denmark at least, famous film team, instructor Erik Balling and Scenographer Henning Bahs, in Denmark that guaranties quality from start to finish.
If you want to know how modern Danish culture has come to pass, why the Danes and Denmark is what it is. Then the series Matador will give you some very good insights into us and our way of life.
Naturally the series doesn't give you the full picture, but it describes in a very accurate way, Danish culture in a period of time where modern Danish culture was formed, alongside important core values of the Danish people and our way of life.
If you are interested in that, and a very interesting story, all woven into a family saga in the 1930 and 1940' Denmark, then you will have a very good experience watching Matador.
But a warning, if you thrive on highspeed action driven drama - then this rather slow but thorough story isn't for you 😊
