Tessa 2015
45min | Comedy, Drama | TV Series (2015– )
Season 1 Episode 1 – De Idealist
User review:
I Danish series Rita, the series where Tessa is based, not seen. I can not tell the difference in quality between the two series. An advantage, perhaps. You do notice that people often a remake at afserveren advance. “It’s not even close to the original,” you hear them say. That is often a grain of truth. That’s right. However, many callers who do not even give a chance to the new version. Look, you have what I am concerned just shut up and sit down again. And a bit fast please! I admit that series like Rita are not really my thing, but you should always see something with your own eyes to judge. The first episode is just decent.
