Most helpful review Borgen - Series 1

  • Denmark's answer to the West Wing, and then some

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Wonderful series, Denmark's answer to the West Wing, with slightly more realism about the compromises that even idealistic people in politics end up making once they get power. Borgen is also very good for showing the relationship between journalists and the politicians and spin-doctors. Highly entertaining, really top quality, an excellent cast, most of whom are gorgeous to look at as well as making their characters come to life. Unmissable I would say.

    Brilliant series. Gives a great insight into Danish politics. Fascinating seeing how Birgitte Nyborg's unexpected rise to power affects her family life. Can't wait to watch series 2.

    Loved this series and now on the second one... enjoying it immensely too. The acting is superb from all quarters with a special mention of the young daughter. Much better than any American depiction of politics in my opinion but possibly because it is more in keeping with our own ways being a small country. Looking forward to a third series.

    Missed it on TV and I am glad I have now caught up with it on DVD. Excellent series, stories very good and cast first-rate. The situations could apply to politics in many countries including Britain and USA. I am now catching up with the latest series on TV having recorded them this time!

  • Another Scandinavian success

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    Excellent drama well worth watching. My only gripe is that the subtitles are often hard to read. White words on white background. A tad frustrating at times, but worth persevering

    Borgen is terrific, my favourite series that I have seen this year. I am a big fan of Scandinavian drama and this tops the bill. Rent it, you won't be disappointed!
