Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Riget (The Realm) is a Danish TV-series created and co-directed by the avant-garde filmaker, Lars von Trier. It roots in the Medical Drama genre, but it also contains copious amounts of surreal and Religious Horror, dark humor and supernatural events. Entirely filmed on location with hand-held cameras and grimy, sepia-tinted pictures, it has been described by critics as "Twin Peaks meets M*A*S*H".The series ran for two seasons, respectively in 1994 and 1997. It was never officially cancelled, but the deaths of the actors playing three significant characters prevented any continuation.The setting for the series is the eponymous Rigshospitalet (The National Hospital) in Copenhagen, with focus on the neurosurgical ward and its employees and their somewhat mundane everyday life. But, as the Opening Narration expains, something strange is slowly infesting the old building, and it is growing stronger.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Mrs. Sigrid Drusse, an elderly lady with a keen interest in spiritualism, is trailing the source of the disturbances, begrudgingly helped by her son Bulder, who works as a porter at the hospital. Meanwhile war is brewing in the neurosurgical ward between the new, arrogant Dr. Helmer and the more down-to-earth Dr. Krogshøj (AKA Krogen (The Hook)). Helmer has recently botched a brain operation on a young girl and is trying to hide the evidence, which will give Krogshøj the advantage. The Head of Department, Dr. Moesgaard is blissfully ignorant of all this as he is busy planning his great reform of the department "Operation Morning Air". Meanwhile his immature son Mogge runs afoul of his professor, the (madly) idealistic Dr. Bondo, after having stolen a head from the morgue and used it for a prank. Dr. Bondo wants to get his hands on a rare tumor in dying Mr. Zakariassen's liver. And when Mr. Zakariassen's family says no, the good doctor is driven to desperate action.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })And there is something strange about the pregnancy of Dr. Petersen ...An American adaptation, developed by Stephen King and called Kingdom Hospital, was created in 2004. | |

Redubbing | |
| Riget / int_119eebd9 | comment |
Redubbing: The abovementioned Greek Chorus actors were overdubbed by others, presumably because their Downs syndrome prevented them from delivering their lines satisfactorily. Udo Kier was also redubbed. He just delivered his lines in phonetical Danish and was dubbed over afterwards. This was done for both of his roles, but they did have different dubbers for both. | |

Mad Scientist | |
| Riget / int_3517000d | comment |
Mad Scientist: Dr. Bondo. Check out his little speech to his pathology class about how the dead contribute to the community thanks to having overcome the fear of human contact so sadly prevalent among the living. (This is delivered while standing next to a corpse the students are about to examine ... followed by "Alright, let's get carving", as he reaches for the scalpel). That he's also a twisted version of The Spock does not help. | |

Deadly Gas | |

Deadly Gas: Krüger killed Mary with chlorine gas under the guise of inhalations to treat an imaginary lung disease. At one point we see her ghost exhale green fumes. Note that the cut to Mary's ghost exhaling green gas is made right after Drusse realises what happened to her, making this very potent Nightmare Fuel. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| Riget / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Stig Helmer is a deconstruction. He's a Large Ham and narcissist Jerkass, but he's also a highly competent surgeon and rarely makes mistakes. Deconstruced since his personality makes him insufferable for vast parts of the hospital staff and patient. When he makes a mistake, like with Mona or when he tries to poison Krogshøj, his Jerkass traits lead to Serial Escalation. | |

Large Ham: Stig Helmer lives this trope combined with Deadpan Snarker. Actor Ernst-Hugo Järegård was a well-regarded ham of Swedish theatre and television. He's not the only ham on the menu: the Psycho Psychologist Ole is fond of hamming as well. Dr. Bondo's ham remarkably grows in size when he speaks to his students or colleagues. | |

Black Is Bigger in Bed: Heavily implied in this scene, in which Dr. Helmer gazes at the lower body parts of his Haitian companion who uses the urinal next to him. Helmer then slaps him in the face as if offended. | |

Cliffhanger: The second series ends with several of these. In the DVD commentaries, the makers mentioned that it might be just as well that Actor Existence Failure prevents them from making a third series, seeing as how they had written themselves into a corner. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Riget / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The spiritist Mrs. Drusse is a character from Danish author Hans Scherfig's (The Stolen Spring) novels. The name Stig Helmer is the name of the meek protagonist of a Swedish comedy franchise. The repeated motif of a concrete wall, which is breached by water, as an image of the spirits breaking into the world of mortals, was also used in Lucio Fulchi's classic surreal horror movie The Beyond (1981). | |

Refuge in Audacity: When Helmer is caught pretty much red-handed trying to alter the medical records: Or when he pours everyone coffee while trying to poison Krogshøj and loses track of the fatal cup, and Helmer angrily snatches the coffee away from everyone on the pretext that they are being ungrateful by not drinking it. Even though they were just about to. | |
