It took me forever to get through the series for the first time, but I now think I will keep revisiting episodes and scenes forever

I just noticed that Matador character Ingeborg studies French in Episode 14 - there's a scene with her listening to an old 78 rpm. I looked for the phrases I heard (...le père, la mère, le fils, la fille et le bébé. Que fait le grand-père?) and found a decent match in lesson 1 of The pictorial French course (1901, Paul Barbier (Ed.))- a vintage course which I haven't yet seen being mentioned here, by Speakeasy or anyone else.

Congrats on finishing Matador! Do you have something new lined up for Danish now that you are finished with Matador?

I still have the other podcast series - Matador med mere. Same format, one podcast for each TV episode, plus a few bonus tracks. I like it less than the one with Cecilie, Janus and the guests, but will finish it nevertheless.

My next visual content in Danish will be the third season of Follow the money/Bedrag (crime thriller), which will start in a few weeks on SVT.
