Just As I Suspected
Warin_West-El12 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Just as I suspected in my previous review, this episode Brigitte and Philip's relationship becomes a central focus. And once again, I applaud the writers who made the family dynamics interesting without bogging down the main story.

How about that Kasper character, is he an idiot or what? We're in irony mode here, where having yelled at others for not being "professional", he is nothing BUT a weak little amateur. At one point his behavior is SO stupid a colleague feels obliged to tell him not to crap where he eats.

I really didn't like the final press conference. Katrine's hesitancy to ask the question she was given seemed forced and an attempt by the filmmakers to make that scene more dramatic than it really was.

Up until now Katrine has been an opportunist. She would have looked at that question before asking any others. And once she saw that question, she would have asked it first. So, unlike the rest of this episode, that scene seemed unduly rigged.

And you have to hand it to the writers. We had a resolution between Brigitte and Philip. However, it seems like we haven't seen the last of that dynamic between them.

Brinkmanship
Hitchcoc19 August 2023
The Prime Minister has a lot on her plate. At the center are two men who are bitter enemies. One of them is in a new democracy and is about to gain a high position. He is using his muscle to get rid of an opponent. A purchase involving wind power is at stake but so is the life of a man who is a thorn in the side, a revolutionary. Also, Brigette is having family problems. Her husband has taken on the family roles while she does her serious work. To make it even harder, her father is staying--he is an alcoholic and a sort of confrontational windbag. Kasper continues to act irrationally. He is truly a buffoon much of the time and his efforts with Katrine are a bit tiresome.
