This drama series for youngsters has turned Danish public service fiction upside-down by becoming a huge success and the most streamed programme of all in Danish TV in 2018, reaching +420.000 viewers. It is about the love/hate relationship with your background and family as a youngster, about growing up in the countryside longing for the fun in the city. About love, sex and friendships. And about when life is taking you from behind - doggystyle. It is about the hunt and fight for becoming something special in life. And how you sometimes forget yourself and who you are in the process. 21-year old Asta is forced to move back to her parents in the countryside after a few years in Copenhagen trying to make it as an actress. She feels disgusted with everything she comes from. Her home coming challenges her many preconceptions about life including her relationship towards herself, her parents, her younger sister with cerebral palsy, her old friends. This forces her to find out what is hiding behind the Instagram filtered life she is pretending to live. Doggystyle is the most talked-about public service series of 2018 in Denmark. The creator, most of the actors and crew are young, new faces - a big part of DR’s strategy: to bring out and give birth to new talent.
