Borgen, in my view the best political show ever made for television, is returning for its fourth season, the New York Times reports.
“In its fundamentals, the show is unchanged: It still navigates a surprisingly engaging path through politics’ thicket, and it still focuses on the double bind that women in positions of power face in their public and private lives.”
“But now the stakes are higher: instead of episodic stories of interparty sparring, this Borgen follows a single plotline across the entire season: Large reserves of oil are discovered in Greenland, and geopolitical tensions erupt around issues of sovereignty, climate change and decolonization. And all this among characters who themselves have grown not merely older, but darker: less West Wing, more House of Cards.”
