Ride Upon The Storm is a Danish drama series that premiered in 2017 and aired its second and final season in 2018. The show is created by Adam Price, who is also responsible for the highly acclaimed Danish series Borgen. The series revolves around the personal and professional lives of two very different brothers, Johannes and August Krogh, who both happen to be priests. Johannes is an accomplished priest, who is extremely popular with his congregation, charismatic and confident. His younger brother, August, is a deeply spiritual and troubled man, struggling to find his place in life and reconcile with his faith.

The show explores the two brothers' different approaches to life, religion, and the challenges that they face. While Johannes serves as a successful pastor at Church of Denmark, August has to deal with his personal demons and struggles to meet his brother's expectations.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the show is the way it deals with religion itself. The series does not shy away from addressing controversial topics and theological questions, while at the same time showing different perspectives and interpretations of Christian faith. The characters' beliefs and experiences are explored in depth, highlighting the way faith can both empower and challenge people.

Another prominent theme of the show is the dysfunctional family life of the Kroghs. Although the family is not depicted as entirely dysfunctional, it is clear that Johannes and August's relationship with their parents has been difficult and troubled at times, and that their family history has played a significant role in shaping their personalities.

Ride Upon The Storm is a masterful character study, with especially strong performances from its lead actors, Lars Mikkelsen and Simon Sears, who portray Johannes and August respectively. Mikkelsen's portrayal of the popular and charismatic priest is both nuanced and complex, while Sears' interpretation of the troubled and vulnerable August is remarkably moving and convincing.

The show's cinematography and production design are also noteworthy, capturing the beauty and grandness of the Church of Denmark's architecture, locations, and rituals. The series is set against the backdrop of a changing Denmark, where contemporary societal and political issues are explored with sensitivity and insight.

Overall, Ride Upon The Storm is a captivating and engaging drama series that successfully combines poignant storytelling with a thoughtful exploration of the human condition, the power of faith, and the complexities of family life. The show is a powerful testament to the excellence of Danish drama and a rare treat for all lovers of intelligent and thought-provoking television.

Ride Upon The Storm is a series that ran for 2 seasons (20 episodes) between January 1, 2017 and on
