Borgen Marathon Starts in a Few Days

On August 20, LinkTV will start a marathon showing of Borgen seasons 1 and 2.  If you have missed this terrific Danish series, now is the time to catch up.  You only have two weeks to watch the show from its premiere date, but it is worth setting a schedule for you viewing.  You will not be disappointed.  Here is The Guardian's verdict on the show:

Borgen should appeal to everyone to be honest. It's a fantastically compelling and intricate drama about politics, gender, change and (mainly) power. With great characters – not just the women but the men too. My favourite is Svend Age, a no-nonsense, bullish, old-school politician from somewhere out of town, with no time for Mulberry or spin doctoring or any of that nonsense. John Prescott, basically, though from the other end of the political spectrum (I think – must find out more about Danish politics). OK, so it's time to stop searching for Westminster equivalents. They don't need it; this lot are better, more interesting characters.
