I love you Lena, but this premise sounds kind of zzzzzz

The Danish original version actually is decent, it's on Netflix.

[hypertwink]

Yeah, and she actually gives off the same aura/vibes of the lead. I think she's a good match to the original.

Bravo also made a pilot for this in 2013 starring Anna Gunn. https://deadline.com/2013/02/anna-gunn-to-star-in-bravo-drama-pilot-rita-419320/
