I’ve started and stopped this Danish political drama a number of times, but last week a bug knocked me out for 24 hours and was finally able to sit down and get into this show. I will say that it is worth the price of admission here. The first 2-3 episodes set up the show and then each episode, while doing character development, has a theme around issues of power or cultural conflicts. The episodes deal with these issues in mature ways and are not afraid use words like colonialism. Sometimes the problems seem quaint given the size of Denmark (for example, one episode focuses on how much the government should spend on a single war plane), but overall worth spending the time with this one.
