The writer visits Copenhagen and stays with a sister who moved there about two years ago. Lionel Boyce’s pastry-tour storyline led to discovering a hidden fried chicken joint called Poulette, which remains a local gem. Denmark averages far fewer hours watching television than the United States, and Copenhagen often ranks among the happiest cities in the world. Danes avoid daily frustrations such as managing multiple streaming subscriptions and cancelling free trials. The FX series Alien: Earth scored over 9.2 million streaming views in its first week across Hulu and Disney+, placing its popularity between The White Lotus and The Pitt, while continuing to deliver violent, Xenomorph-driven action.
I'm currently visiting my sister, who moved out here a little over two years agoright around when The Bear sent Marcus the pastry chef (Lionel Boyce) to travel around the city and learn about fancy pastries. After I interviewed Boyce that season, he pointed me to a hole-in-the-wall fried chicken joint called Poulette that he filmed a scene in for the showand it's somehow still a hidden gem in the city.
One thing I've learned during my time here is that Denmark spends a lot less hours watching TV than we do in America. Maybe that's why Copenhagen is often rated as the happiest city in the world. The struggles of managing streaming services and accidentally forgetting to cancel a subscription at the end of a free trial period isn't a daily frustration to the Danes.
Right now, I'm completely focused on Alien: Earth. According to Variety, the FX sci-fi drama based on Ridley Scott's iconic monster film franchise garnered over 9.2 million streaming views in its first week across Hulu and Disney+ alone, which doesn't even account for how many more viewers watched on FX's linear cable channel. Sheesh! To put that number into perspective, that places Alien: Earth's popularity in between strong Emmy contenders such as The White Lotus (6.2 million viewers tuned in for the season 3 finale)
