Legitimacy

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 28 August 2023]

The gang works together to find a way to be recognized by other political entities as a serious new party. It all starts when Brigitte's boyfriend has a bad reaction to a pork chop he is eating in a restaurant. He vomits in the middle of the diners and someone takes a video of it. We find out that it was because of an anti-biotic that was injected into the pig which made the pork deadly to one intolerant of the anti-biotics. More investigation leads to cruelty in the pork industry. This becomes the in-road to attacking the party that has encouraged this. But this also comes to affect Katrine's brother who is a hog farmer. Also Katrine is a mess because of her relationship with Kasper. Good transitional episode.

Out of Touch

[Warin_West-El · 6/10 · 14 February 2023]

Once again, the filmmakers have provided NO evidence why we should accept Brigitte's new boyfriend in place of Philip. In this episode he was described as her "secret" boyfriend. Which means nobody knew about this guy and yet his poisoning led to legislation and an abundance of news stories.

The balance of events was so odd.

One pleasant moment came when Brigitte gave Katrine some solid advice not to press Kasper about babysitting their child. What made that scene satisfying was Brigitte demonstrated she learned from the mistakes she made in season 2.

Currently, Katrine is pretty dim-witted. She failed to mention her brother's concerns to Brigitte and in politics that's unforgivable. Why Brigitte retains her as a spin doctor, we'll never know.
