So, I've been watching a Danish series on US Netflix: Rita. Amazing series and has a gay character: Jeppe. The show follows the life of a very outspoken and rebellious woman, Rita is a school teacher who is competent in the classroom, but seems to need a teacher of her own, when it comes to her personal life. Jeppe is her son. No coming out drama, he comes out at the end of episode 1 and the family is pretty cool about that.

Ah, we actually have a Dutch version of this called Tessa, I think it's actually based on this show. I really liked it, it has probably had the same storyline as Rita.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I was reminded that I do have Netflix and that I should be more diligent in checking out the programming. That said, I've been binge watching RITA this weekend and am very much enjoying the whole story.

I binge-watched the first season and part of the second season over the weekend as well. Have to say Rita is a piece of work, but find all of her children to be quite endearing. I quite like Hjørdis as well - have known young teachers like that.

The Nomad is posting clips from Tessa - here are the first couple (not sure that it is worth having a separate thread for this storyline):

Been binging Rita recently, and I have to say, Tessa seems like almost a carbon copy of Rita

Been binging Rita recently, and I have to say, Tessa seems like almost a carbon copy of Rita Yeah - that is actually fairly common - take a look at the Russian remake of Fisica O Quimica or the Swiss remake of the Dutch show Spangas - the first few seasons tend to be very similar, but over time they catch up to the source material, then usually diverge.

The Nomad is posting clips from Tessa - here are the first couple (not sure that it is worth having a separate thread for this storyline): Lol, I saw these clips in my subscription box on YT and I recognized the actor but didn't realise it was from Tessa, I thought they were clips from the film Noordzee Texas. I feel stupid now. Been binging Rita recently, and I have to say, Tessa seems like almost a carbon copy of Rita Yeah I think it's a total remake of the originals, which is what the Dutch makers also said. Usually when they remake a series they might copy the first and the second season but afterwards they will go in their own direction. Unfortunately the Dutch version was canceled which is shame because the actress who plays Tessa is a great actress.

I binge-watched Rita a few months ago. Fantastic show! It's a little weird watching different actors play the exact same characters and scenes. I suppose if you have never seen Rita, Tessa is a very enjoyable show. But if you have seen Rita, it comes across as a pale imitation. Maybe that's why Tessa got canceled - it's too easy to just watch the superior original with subtitles.
The actress who plays Tessa may be talented, but she doesn't have the charisma of Mille Dineson. I've rarely seen an actor inhabit a role as fully as Mille does Rita.
One strong point about Tessa, though, is the actor who plays David. Wow is he hot!

You can watch Rita on Netflix. I don't know if anyone has cut Jeppe's storyline with subs yet

I have been watching Rita on Netflix - but haven't had time to finish season 2 yet. I looked for Jeppe storyline clips when I first heard about the show - but have only seen the random fanvid or short scene for his storyline.

I want to see him having gay action more then Jap. I know he is straight and engaged but I just can help it. Can we speak about both Rita and Tessa under this topic? I'm confused because I haven't seen a topic named Tessa.
