If you can find Borgen on a local Public channel..

Watch it..14 episodes so far..Danish Politics centered around 1st female Prime Minister..
Easily as good as West Wing and it’s nice watching a govt at work where the conservatives are a true
minority....

Also, incorporates all the stuff that makes us want more and more and to never stop..

Tonights episode shown in link was outstanding..

I've got the first two series on D.V.D. and am eagerly looking forward to the third series (due to come to the U.K. in the new year).

I also think that Danish is one of the most beautiful languages to listen to as well.

When the P.M. although filled with hopelessness because of her husband’s divorce decided to screw her driver...Also was interesting how although she was Prime Minister of the govt. she was very intimidated by her husband’s new girlfriend. Also how she lives alone in her own home with her 2 kids and absolutely no domestic help..
