Streaming guide: Vinterberg’s series received a standing ovation in Venice. Now it hits the flat screens at home

If various tattoos, graffiti and other imprinted expressions are to be believed, the clearing of the Youth Center at Jagtvej 69 in 2007 is still vivid in the memory and the minds have not softened despite both the change of times and the passing of the years. It was a drama that could be followed in the media in the months leading up to the police onslaught and the subsequent dismantling of the alternative youth gathering place. And as Marx almost said about history: First it is tragedy, then it is repeated as a TV series.

It is the director Mads Mathiesen who follows the events and a group of young people for the last six months, until the controversial building’s reduction to ruin and grumbling. In the center is the 22-year-old Iben – played by Thit Åberg – and her 20-year-old boyfriend Alex, whose character Elias Budde Christensen takes care of. They each choose their own strategy in the effort to preserve Hungary. She tested it well with talk and pressure. He the activist with cobblestones and bonfires in the streets. The script has been created in collaboration between the director and Jesper Fink.
