Borgen

http://www.kcet.org/shows/borgen/full-episodes/borgen-episode-4-100-days.html

Borgen is a REALLY interesting fictional look at another western democracy's govt. - that will look more than a little familiar to Americans, except the moderates there are the "liberal extremists" here. LOL.

KCET is streaming two weeks of episodes at a time.

The link, above, is to the 4th episode - which is SO GOOD and SO PERTINENT to the current discussion of NSA and other such intials' power.

The series won awards in Europe - the show is two years old, at this point.

Anyway, worth checking out if you're not averse to subtitles - and if you are - oh please.

It's interesting to see a female as the head of a nation negotiating the way in which power politics are played.
