"The Killing" fans - Heads up: "Borgen"
Discussion
From DR (Danmarks Radio) the makers of Forbrydelsen/The Killing, Borgen started last night on BBC4 in the "usual" 9pm slot, two hour long episodes, back to back.
It's a political drama, very much in the style of both The Killing (with some familiar faces in unfamiliar roles) and The Wire.
We've just watched both episodes back to back and are now desperate for next Saturday's offering. Thoroughly recommended.
It's in Danish, subtitled in English, but I don't mind that at all - it does make you concentrate and not "multi task".
"Borgen" is apparently Danish slang for Christianborg Palace, which is where the Danish parliament is based.

Just finished watching episode 6. Excellent drama.
Fully agree, I loved the 1st series of The Killing and am almost at the end of number 2 but have to admit I find Borgen more interesting than the second Killing. Makes you wonder how many other good foreign dramas/production teams are out there that we never normally hear of? Paul Dishman said:

Just watched the first two episodes on the I-player, excellent drama really enjoying it. Did my head in slightly figuring out where I'd seen the BMW salesman in episode 1 from before
It was every other Danish drama you've watched in the last five years, if you haven't figured it out yet. Just watched the first two episodes on the I-player, excellent drama really enjoying it. Did my head in slightly figuring out where I'd seen the BMW salesman in episode 1 from before
