With the caveat that this stuff is older, since I haven't been home in a hot minute but...
For "classic tv shows" Matador definitely. Also check out Bryggeren which is another time / period piece set throughout Danish history. Taxi is a decent newer drama that tries to capture the vibe of late 90s / early 2000's Copenhagen.
Film wise, you can't avoid Olsenbanden if we are talking classic danish film.
For the "new style" there's films like Pusher and I kina spiser de hunde, which showcase the more gritty and bleak (if often funny) approach.
9 April was a solid war film and absolutely worth a watch. Very authentic kit on display too.
For a quirky comedy about the hippie era, try Det store flip. For social commentary, anything by Eric Clausen is worth a watch.
For daily news, dr.dk is the state news network (Danmarks Radio) and is fine. They have an app too where you can check out the 5 main stories each day, which is a good language exercise. You can also find lots of Danish radio to listen to including on IOS (and I assume Android) apps.
If you can understand spoken Danish well, for a couple of podcasts, I suggest Kongerækken which is pretty funny and covers the Danish kings and queens, and Hitlers æselører which is a general ww2 oriented podcast where they interview authors. Many of the episodes are specific to Danish topics in the war.
