Birgitte Nyborg is unexpectedly elected as Denmark's first female prime minister. Very, very interesting, because in Borgen you get a nice look at the political system and everything related to it: the media, the business lobby and the private lives of everyone involved. But let's be honest. In fact, we all watched because of Brigitte Nyborg's lingering charm. If Brigitte had been fishing for bream for three seasons along the bank of the Køge Bugt (yes, google that), we would have looked too. Everyone should watch this. But I think that's already the case. If not… Shame on you!
Watched the first episode of Season 2, Afghanistan themed. Nice episode and it gives food for thought again about this operation. Fortunately, the series continues on the same footing, hopefully it will continue to enjoy this series for another season.
