'Borgen: Power & Glory,' a nail-biting Danish political drama series, puts its American equivalents to shame.
. The political possibilities of a multi-party system are so much broader that the show’s third season revolved around Birgitte returning from political retirement to challenge her successor for the Moderate leadership, losing, forming a new party, and competing in a snap election. Other key characters in Birgitte’s story include journalist Katrine Fønsmark ; Birgitte’s spin doctor, Kasper Juul ; and TV1 news producer Torben Friis .
Nearly 10 years later, the show’s extremely contemporary new season — there are references not just to COVID but to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — finds Birgitte struggling just a little. She’s Foreign Minister again, but now under Prime Minister Signe Kragh , who is: the leader of the Labour party; 41 to Birgitte’s 53; and not just a woman but a girlboss cliché who tags all of hersocial media posts with #TheFutureIsFemale.
Birgitte’s abrupt policy U-turn on the oil immediately costs her support and credibility, enough that her closest confidants — Katrine, who served as her party spokesperson in season 3, and her mentor, Bent Sejrø — are pretty sure she’s going to have to resign over it. Apparently they’ve forgotten that in 2022, no one in politics experiences shame, and nothing they do has any consequences.
