    • Trivia
      Although a fan of the show, Denmark's real female Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, claimed "I've made a point of not watching Sidse Babett Knudsen too closely just to make sure I'm not too influenced by her. If anything, it sometimes feels more as if life is imitating art."
    • Goofs
      When subtitled e.g. in news clips, Lars Brygmann's character is sometimes spelled "Troels Höxenhaven" and sometimes "Troels Høxenhaven".

    Intense- Classy- Great Dialogue and Acting

    We all know a great TV show when we see one and this one is a great one. I am so tired of American drama that seems to all be written by one crew and all has one plot of killing a person then trying to figure out who did it. Borgen has gripping dramatic plots that is accentuated by great acting. The acting is intense and spectacular, and you have to see it to believe it. The dialogue is well written and the scenes are addictive and gripping. And no commercials or loud sickening music that is needed to keep the audience watching most of the cheesy American TV series. All the characters have there own personalities and show a sense of individualism that is so very refreshing.

    FAQ21

    • How many seasons does Borgen have?Powered by Alexa
    • I recently watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix and they are dubbed in English. I loved the show, but when the 3rd season started it is only subtitled, not dubbed. The dialogue moves too fast to keep up with the subtitles. When will Season 3 be available dubbed in English? Anyone know?
