Added Alternative Character Interpretation
Added DiffLines:
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: At least half of the cast qualifies, but there are some notable examples.
** Helmer. Is he simply a major case of DrJerk with no redeemable traits? Is he simply resentful of everything Danish as he's basically in forced exile from Sweden? A man broken by weird customs and traditions he's forced to endure? It's certain he's a {{jerkass}}, but precisely how much of it he is varies depending on the viewer.
** Krogshøj. Is he well-intentioned BigGood who's willing to break the rules to get the necessary results and permits for the hospital to run? Or a simple thief who deals hospital equipment and other stuff for the sake of a power trip? He's never shown benefiting financially from his dealings, but he's shown certain willingness to blackmail even before his unwilling FaceHeelTurn.
** Director Bob. It's generally agreed he's unqualified in medicine and overall incompetent, but his primary enemy is The Lodge, which is extremely nepotistic and cult-like organisation. With the show having a recurring theme of good doctors being bad managers, does it really benefit the hospital to have Bob sidelined in favour of an organisation that, above all, aims to protect its own?
*** ''Exodus'' shows Riget run seemingly just by Bob himself, as The Lodge is nowhere to be seen, suggesting he won the power struggle. This shows that Bob must have been at least adept at politicking to remove it, but also shows Riget to be virtually the same as under The Lodge. Bob is also shown very apathetic to the job now, so in line with the theme of people competent in one area being incompetent in another, it could suggest that Bob is good at gaining power, but his actual management skills are the same as Lodge's.

** Special mention to the demonic clones of Karen and Buller in ''Exodus''. Bodil Jørgensen's and Nicolas Bro's fixed grins and slightly stiff movements make them ''extremely'' creepy, even before we find out that they can kill with a touch.
