The New York Times dumper "Borgen" og dansk politik

“Borgen” is almost the exact opposite, a thriller woven around possibly the most boring conflict in Europe: parliamentary elections in Denmark. The series, which is shown with subtitles, was created by the makers of the original Danish mini-series “The Killing.” (NBC has plans for a remake of “Borgen.”) A bleaker, Nordic version of “The West Wing,” “Borgen” finds a remarkable amount of drama and suspense in center-left alliances, pension plans and televised debates.
