Info
Birgitte Nyborg is the leader of a minority political party in Denmark. In a closely fought general election, and against all odds, she becomes Prime Minister. She now must be adept in handling difficult political negotiations, setting up alliances, and even compromising some of her principles. Weaving in and out of her political circle are Katrine Fonsmark, a TV news anchor, Kasper Juul, her communications chief, Torben Friis, an news editor, and Phillip Christensen, Birgitte’s husband. Birgitte encounters a few reversals: losing her position, divorcing her husband, and re-entering the business world. But she is determined to become politically active again as she forms an opposing party, the New Democrats.

We know you have a lot of TV options out there so we hate to add even more to your plate. But, BORGEN, one of the greatest TV series of the past decade, has become accessible in the U.S. A perfect binge-watchable show.
It is painful for me to report that determining THE BEST POLITICAL SHOW no longer hails from Hollywood. It comes, instead, from Copenhagen, and it’s called BORGEN.
Stop what you’re doing and go watch BORGEN. The great Danish political drama is finally available legally in America. So what are you waiting for?
BORGEN is one of the great ones!
