Borgen: Power & Glory. Birgitte Nyborg is now Foreign Minister in a new coalition

Borgen: Power & Glory (Netflix) needs a spot of romance. The original series was just Borgen, the Danish for castle, nickname for the seat of parliament in Copenhagen. It was The West Wing with better dialogue and funky chairs.

Borgen followed the rise of Birgitte Nyborg to the position of Danish prime minister. It was Shakespeare without the murders, full of plot twists and betrayal and disappointments.
