The serial depicting life in a small Danish town from the late 1920's through the end of the WW2, hits spot on, describing the struggles of both rich and poor, in a well-paced, amazingly well thought out story. I've only seen it twice because I haven't been able to find a way to buy it on NTSC tape.
