Riget/YMMV

• Complete Monster: Åge Krüger. Also, possibly, Helmer.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Dr. Helmer Hannibal lecturing the entire Danish nation from the hospital roof while looking at Sweden through his binoculars.

Dr. Helmer: Here, Denmark. Excreted from limestone and water. There, Sweden. Carved in granite. Danish scum ... DANISH SCUM!!!!!
Dr. Helmer [later episode] (reaching out towards the Swedish nuclear power plant across the bay): With plutonium we'll get them yet...DANISH SCUM!!!!!

• Crowning Moment of Funny: Several, but arguably topped by the way everything that can possibly go wrong goes wrong when the Minister of Health visits the hospital at the climax of Riget I to see "Operation Morning Air" for himself - complete with walking into the middle of an exorcism carried out mid-corridor with improvised tools. Also just about any scene featuring Dr. Helmer.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Despite his Dane-detesting attitude, arrogance and villainy, Dr. Helmer became an instant favourite with the viewers.
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: In oodles. Do NOT watch this series if you or someone you know are about to go to a hospital. Or attempt sleep.
  • Properly borders more on regular Nightmare Fuel, but Little Brother is very creepy.
• Jerkass: Mogge was clearly very immature from the beginning, but he really starts to come out as this in the second series.
• Moral Event Horizon: Some of the things Helmer does to hide his serious screw-ups might qualify as crossing it.
• The Woobie: Mona and Mary. And Little Brother.
