A pleasure to see a strong female character trying to navigate having it all in a nordic country where social norms and support do not mean manipulation and dark zones are not inherently present in the political landscape.

"Borgen is a thrilling and engaging political drama that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The writing is superb, with well-developed characters and intricate storylines that delve into the complexities of Danish politics. The show is led by the fantastic performance of Sidse Babett Knudsen as Birgitte Nyborg, the prime minister of Denmark, who is both powerful and vulnerable, making her a relatable and compelling protagonist. The show's attention to detail and realism add to its authenticity, and the production values are top-notch. The dialogue is sharp and witty, and the pacing is perfect, with each episode leaving you eager for more. Overall, Borgen is a must-watch for fans of political dramas and anyone looking for a well-crafted and thought-provoking TV show.

If West Wing is like a fast paced thriller, Borgen is like a gentle romance. It grabs your attention right off the bat and holds it till the very end. You my suffer from withdrawal when it is over, at which point you set a reminder to watch it again three or six months later with the hope that it will feel just a fresh as the first time. The only (minor) issue is it is in Danish with English subtitles. Great theme, fantastic acting and subtle but captivating musical score. Very well done!
