Borgen - Danish TV series review

From the Danish creators of "The Killing" comes the international hit "Borgen" - a TV drama about Denmark's first female Prime Minister. In a serious case of life imitating art (or perhaps showing just how influential this show has been), Denmark really did elect its first female Prime Minister at the conclusion of season 1. After airing in 70 countries around the globe, Borgen has finally made it to the U.S. (care of iTunes). In honor of Denmark's Parliament, Hollister and O'Toole vigorously debate the themes of the show, the merit of subtitles, and last but not least, the state of this fictional PM's marriage (brilliantly played by Sidse Babett Knudsen and Mikael Birkkjær). On one thing both Hollister & O'Toole can agree: Borgen is some seriously quality TV. To the incredibly talented Danish team who has gifted us with this series, a heartfelt "Tak".
