The dialogue and plotting remain fast-paced and switch between both Danish and English with as much impressive skill as Knudsen's excellent linguistic abilities. ... One of The most affecting elements of the series, however, remains the struggles of women in power. It's hard to not empathise with Birgitte and Katrine.

Borgen: Power & Glory is a satisfying drama, one that has a lot to say about power, about women and how we’re viewed by society, and about what happens after we reach a certain age. It stands out in a crowded landscape for the way it places women in positions of power and asks them to engage with and react to a patriarchal society that rarely offers them the support they need or the respect they deserve.

If, like me, you yearn for democratic politics to be carried out with machiavellian sophistication and attention to principle and policy detail – in other words, in a manner inimical to Westminster’s practices – you will agree that it is lovely to have Borgen back. Like a 2022 version of The West Wing, it is a fictional antidote to unbearable reality.

This is great political drama. Good acting and always exciting. I recommand all the past tv-shows in this serie. The danish is always great to make good tv-shows. If you like drama more than action, this is for you.

More spin-off than continuation, with Netflix fingerprints on it, turning a sharp political drama into a geopolitical soap opera of confused characters muddling through contrived, superficial geopolitics. Better than average TV, but a far cry from the excellence of the original series.
