You can pop into your local library and borrow it as a DVD boxset if you want. A bit old fashioned I know.

Have to say the last 3/4 episodes of Borgen S1 are amongst the best tv I have ever seen. You may though need to have some interest in current affairs / politics to really enjoy it.

Sorry I was being a little trite - I didn't enjoy 'the West Wing', I found it a bit wishy washy - Borgen is a good deal more cynical (in a nice social democracy way).  :P

Did you download the second season of Broen/Bridge ?

I did; do you want to see where there are live links?

Aye if you don't mind, thanks.

Very poor series overall, sh*te ending.

Season 5 is the final series, looks like it will be Nidge v Fran.
I'm gonna show you as gently as I can how much you don't know.

Odd ending but was a brilliant season.
Great show overall.

Will tonight's episode be repeated ?

I think there is a bit of Emperor's new clothes here. If you edited out the atmospheric clips of cranes, sunrise and meandering car journeys you'd halve the length of the program.

That said the ending was real WTF? 🗿

Series 5 will go out with a bang. This series was really about planting the seeds.

Nidge will go a bit pyschotic and there will be a power struggle with him and Fran. Siobhan and Tommy will prob be major players in it too along with the cops.

Thought it was a terrible ending myself... didn't really see the point in it. What was the point of the bit at the end? Nidge has lost it? Really disappointed in that it was well set up!
