I loved it and like Yammy’s, my husband watched instead of picking up a book. She came across as a lovely lady too. I was embarrassed by the brilliant English all the Danes spoke ...
It’s the same in a lot of countries where their own language is spoken by virtually nobody else. For better or worse, English is the global language, so if they’re going to pick just one to learn well, there’s not much choice.
My sister was embarrassed at a wedding in the Czech Republic we attended - because many of the local guests spoke English and none of us spoke Czech - (although I did actually study it for a year aeons ago, when I had to do another Slavonic language besides Russian.) But by her reasoning, to avoid embarrassment you’d need to learn the language of every country you ever visited.
It’s a harder choice if English is your mother tongue, not that that’s any excuse IMO for being totally monolingual. IIRC it was Tony Blair’s govt. who made it no longer compulsory for GCSE choices to include a modern foreign language. Very short sighted IMO.
