Borgen, Borgen, Borgen! Absolutely the best drama I have

[Laura PourMeADrink]

seen in many years. One episode left to watch (saving). Season 4 out 2022. Danish series ( 3 seasons) English dub.

We have talked of it here but need to reiterate

About Denmark's government, politics, culture, media, policies, mixed with sex and human relationships. If that sounds good, check it out.

IMHO.. 10 out if 10

[asiliveandbreathe]

K&K broke up. Maybe in last episode I am saving???

[asiliveandbreathe]

14. It has been a while..but looking back Kasper has to decide what he wants

in a relationship..be it with Katrine or someone else..ethics in their chosen field of journalism, perhaps, or Kasper facing the reasons for his emotions, and who, and when to share it with..Katrine knows what she wants in the relationship..trust is "among" those wants..

Hope NO spoiler..tried to keep at high level..

3. Watching

Where?

[Ocelot II]

4. That was a terrific series - I was so sad when it was over and I'm delighted to hear

that it will be back next year. The depiction of the intricacies and political scheming of a parliamentary system were fascinating, and there are some really interesting characters. Highly recommended!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Yes. Makes me want to learn more about the system. I didn't

quite get how the PM is selected/elected. Or how their media works. News kept saying "if THEY win the election".

5. It is indeed among the best we have seen

Got the DVDs years ago and rewatched on Netflix. Looking forward to to season 4 when it is available.

[TexLaProgressive]

6. Borgen, Borgen, Borgen! streaming on Netflix for those of us who don't subscribe to Netflix

[Scrivener7]

7. It's worth the $8 for one month on Netflix just to watch this series.

We used to pay that for one movie ticket, right?

[TexLaProgressive]

16. It is polite to post where it can be watched

This group is for all streaming services, dvds and videos not just Netflix

[soothsayer]

8. I had to buy it on foreign-format dvds with a special player too

(Player was cheap, like $30, so no regrets.) What a great series.

That purchase let me buy other foreign series such as “The Legacy” (really good) and the original versions of “The Killing” and “The Bridge” (super duper).

Excellent.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. What are the basics on Legacy? I am seeing multiple films with that name

[soothsayer]

21. It's a Danish series

SYNOPSIS: The Legacy is a character-driven drama series about what it means to be a family in a day and age where the classical family patterns have undergone radical change.

Adult children return home when their renowned artist mother dies and all these secrets come out. Really well done.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. I'm sold... Where do you watch it?

[soothsayer]

28. Excellent question! Original Title: Arvingerne

As noted, I bought the series and a special DVD player to watch it.

Try searching for that original title and see if anyone is streaming it. Good luck!

If it’s not on now, it will be at some point... somewhere.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. Thank. Found it - Amazon Prime.

9. One of the best series ever made.

The series is now coming back after many years. I hope there will be numerous new seasons.

If you like foreign television check out MHz Choice. They have some excellent programs. The 8 seasons of the French series Spiral is one of the best cop series I have ever watched. You will learn a great deal about the nuances of the French legal system. The writing is incredibly deep.

[Ocelot II]

13. The other best foreign series I've seen is "Occupied," which is on Netflix.

It's a political thriller like Borgen but much darker and scarier. Check it out.

[madaboutharry]

15. I have two more episodes of season 3 of Occupied.

I agree, it is excellent.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. I will ! Check out Austrailian series on Netflix - "Wanted" - we loved it. Two completely

different women end up together fleeing the law.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Where do you watch Spiral?

[madaboutharry]

26. MHz Choice

The programming is suburb. There are so many great shows from all over Europe. It is $7.99 a month. I think it is worth every cent.

I think it is only with subtitles.

[Tracer]

35. On Amazon Prime.

Except for the last season (#8), then I had to fork over $7.99 or something to mHz to see it.

Absolutely my favorite streaming show.

[soothsayer]

29. Spiral was fun

[choie]

10. Agree 100%!!!

I’m on my second go round - just wonderful!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Wish we could get Kaspar back for 2022

[choie]

33. He looked good w/o a beard

don't you think?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. Yesssssssssss

Not so good bald

Borgen eye candy

[Purrfessor]

11. I waited three years for it to stream somewhere.

And then I finally broke down and purchased the series on DVD a couple years ago. Of course I had to purchase a DVD player that would play multi region DVDs. But it was worth it. Now I have the series and can watch it again and again and again. And I will. It is that good.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Can't believe this is the first I am hearing about the show. I assume the DVDs were in Danish?

Danish is a language, right, DUH.

English subtitles? I know, I am not a purist...but I like the dubbing vs. subtitles. I can't read subtitles and hear/interpret what
people are saying at the same time. Too distracting for my brain

[Purrfessor]

19. I'm not aware of a dubbed version...

I prefer watching shows in their original language. But yes it is Danish. There are many good foreign language series. The original version of “The Killing” comes to mind. Also do not miss “The Bureau” airing I believe on Sundance Now. It is one of if not the best espionage series ever produced. It is a mix of foreign and English languages.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Netflix version now dubbed in English

[madaboutharry]

27. You can change it to the original language in "settings"

I hate dubbed shows. I always have the setting on original language with English subtitles.

It is all a personal choice.

I don’t think MHz Choice is dubbed, so you probably won’t like it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Yes, personal choice. I just don't have the patience

to do all that reading during a film. I did notice that certain languages might be closer to english in length or the way words are formed? IOW, the dubbing looks more natural and less distracting? Or maybe quality of dubbing has become more advanced. On Borgen, I swear there were times I could have sworn they were actually speaking english.

[Tracer]

36. Sometimes they WERE speaking in English.

For instance when Birgitte was on the phone speaking to someone at the UN, she flipped to English (or French).

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. Of course! So I'm not crazy:). I wonder if that's what

Happens in real life too.
