If you’re looking for a new drama to get hooked on, I highly recommend checking out Chorus Girls – the whole series is now available on Channel 4! It’s set back in the ’70s and follows eight dancers working at this famous revue theatre in Copenhagen. Honestly, it’s really gripping stuff.
These women chase their dreams of a glamorous life, but quickly face the harsh realities of working in a male-dominated field and the challenges that come with it.
This show tackles difficult issues like sexism, money problems, and abuse at home, while also showing how the women’s rights movement was growing during that period.
The story takes place amidst the social unrest of the mid-1970s. While the Cirkusrevyen dance troupe appears glamorous, the synopsis reveals that life isn’t easy for its members.
The series Chorus Girls, originally known as Dansegarderoben, premiered in Denmark in 2023. Now, all eight episodes are available to stream for free on Channel 4 in the UK, with advertisements.
What to Read Next
The Danish drama received a four-star rating from Nordic Watchlist, which praised it as “definitely worth watching.”
Despite appearing cheerful from its title and promotional images, the eight-episode show actually deals with challenging topics like sexism, mistreatment of women, jealousy, and feelings of inadequacy, according to a recent review.
The show uses humor to make its serious themes even more impactful. While it deals with tough subjects, Chorus Girls also has heartwarming moments, mostly through the characters’ successes and the connections they form with each other.
I’m so excited about this new show! It’s part of Channel 4’s Walter Presents, which is how I discover a lot of my favorite international dramas – that guy, Walter Iuzzolino, has amazing taste. And it means it’s in good company with other fantastic Danish series like The Pushover, The Sommerdahl Murders, Seaside Hotel, Dopamine and Fatal Crossing. I really enjoyed those, so I have high hopes for this one!
Chorus Girls is available to stream on Channel 4.
