Review of Denmark

Watched in two tranches, because we gave up at the first attempt - it was so unremittingly miserable. An unemployed recently divorced bloke in Wales lives in a squalid flat below a neighbour who plays loud house and techno all the time, and he's estranged from his son and his mother and pretty much everyone. He has almost no money, though he has a little for drink and weed. But he's robbed, and everything bad happens to him, and then he hears that prisons in Denmark are really nice places to live, so he resolves to go to Denmark and get sent to prison.

Which was where we stopped watching. But the next night I was home alone, and watched the rest, and there is a sort of redemption and a development of characters, and it was worth staying and seeing it through.

Watched via BBC iPlayer, smartphone and Chromecast.
