Any recommendations for Danish tv shows? (can't open the article)
Forbrydelson is great!
Example: en dreng = a boy, whereas drengen = the boy.
“Son” is not extremely common, even in patronyms. Usually the “son of” suffix in Denmark would be “sen” as well (Frederiksen, Carlsen, Poulsen).

In the article they mention The Rain , another popular one is The Bridge . There is also a list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_television_drama
I watched a few episodes of The Rain and while it has impressive CGI, the acting is school-play level. The Killing or Borgen though a bit older are much better IMO. Also, while even older, Lars Von Trier's The Kingdom is fantastic tv.

Do Danish filmmakers feel it's essential that the government fund their work?
My honest opinion is that they are just whining. Considering how well the Danish television industry is doing, it seems like they aren't short on cash. Danish films, on the other hand, has definitely taken a back seat to television production. When they say other countries do more funding, they are not wrong. But we don't talk about Czech film/television production in the same way we talk about the Danish counterpart…
I find that very hard to believe. After all, Lars von Trier (the most famous Danish director) made a tv series ("The Kingdom") and all the biggest actors (like Mads Mikkelsen) have had roles in tv shows. The less famous people in the business are typically just happy to be employed.

That might work for some roles (you can bring anyone from within the EU with little to no paperwork) but there will be a limited number of people who speak Danish and are familiar with or have contacts in the country. Cost of living is already very high here, so it is presumably already more expensive than filming almost anywhere else in Europe. 2–3× may go beyond a reasonable budget.
Also quite expensive, since the Danish government provides a lacklustre funding for filming, according to Danish film makers. Even Danish productions often goes to places like the Czech Republic to film, because financial advantages are much better there.

"Follow the Money" is incredibly prescient and "Warrior" is fundamentally exciting.
