Title: Borgen: Power and Glory

Review:  The revival of this wonderful Danish show that originally ran for 3 seasons from 2010-2013, picks up almost ten years later with Birgitte Nyberg now returned to politics as the Danish Foreign Minister and the leader of the New Democratic party she founded a decade earlier. One of the best ever tv revivals- which are usually superfluous, but not here. Searing portrait of living with power and public vs. private life wrapped in a treatise on losing an re-finding your moral compass-all set around the discovery of a massive oil strike in Greenland, which brings the worlds super powers into greedy conflict. Knudsen continues to be magnificent as the evolving Nyberg and the whole cast is stellar. Really nicely shot in Copenhagen and Greenland. Great show
