The Danish Woman
Having just retired from the Danish Secret Service, Ditte Jensen has settled into a small apartment building in Reykjavík. Possessing a strong sense of justice, she doesn't hesitate to get involved in her neighbours' problems and help them.
Seasons
1. Did She Kill the Cat?
Air Date: 2026-01-01
Ditte Jensen discovers that her new neighbors are far from perfect. They are people struggling with various problems and personality flaws, clearly in need of help. She also has to confront the ghosts of her past, which haunt her both awake and in her dreams. And then there’s the cat. Ditte finds it easier to deal with him, because she is perfect - or almost.
2. A Broken Child
Air Date: 2026-01-04
Ditte confronts young children’s screen addiction and provides therapy for toxic masculinity, even if it leads to a few broken hearts. As she forms closer ties with the community in the building, the more tasks arise. On the first floor there are refugees in distress, the family on the third floor suffers from codependency, and on the second floor resides the building’s environmental mess - which also happens to be the chairman of the tenants’ association.
3. Midwives
Air Date: 2026-01-11
Dreams and reality begin to blur for Ditte as the pressure mounts from becoming the building community’s main saviour. Old colleagues from the Danish intelligence service resurface, aiming to coerce Ditte into taking on an extremely difficult assignment.
4. The Execution
Air Date: 2026-01-18
Ditte’s dream of creating a passionate, family-like community - with herself at the centre as the building’s helper and saviour - seems to be coming true. She believes that the ends always justify the means, and so she takes on a public institution with a microbial assault, breaking the Fifth Commandment in the process. With that, she can cross two tasks off her “list.”
5. Broken Bones
Air Date: 2026-01-25
Ditte takes on one final assignment for the Danish intelligence service. But in her mind, the bigger mission is still taking over the tenants’ association, a task that demands resilience, strength, and all of her abilities. At the same time, she unexpectedly clashes with organized crime in Iceland, facing a worthy adversary.
6. A Life Poisoned
Air Date: 2026-02-01
Ditte discovers that her neighbours are unworthy of her love and care, and even Icelandic nature seems to betray her. Everything appears to turn against her. In an attempt to save a friend who has gone astray, she resorts to desperate measures.
