Critics Consensus

Twisty and tantalizing, Borgen's third season examines the personal toll of being a public figure with unrestrained honesty.

Antoine K @RT06004889 03/01/2025 This season starts weak. But the second part has the vibe of the first 2 seasons. Which saved the season. See more Hans S @HansSchaepman 05/09/2023 All seasons were outstanding!! Wish there was more. See more lasse l @RT62932725 04/13/2022 I like the season's new direction it gives a very different spin on the same media and political landscape the previous seasons had, while sticking to the same storytelling formula. I also like how well the show keeps using its extended cast. See more 04/11/2021 Outstanding work. As expected from Denmark. Totally authentic, characters and newsroom, political and personal worlds completly believable. Despite the love relationship between Birgitte and Jeremy in 3th series. No cemestry. I am very curious what happend, how come this weakness passed by the producers and director. It is very pity to have this weakness in such an marvelous achevement as this series are. Anyone has thoughts on this? See more 11/29/2020 Exceptional, despite the subtitles. See more Stephen G @RT76499974 10/11/2020 This show just kept getting better, as Seasons 2 and 3 were excellent follow-ups to the very fine Season 1. The plot lines and characters continued to evolve, with Season 3 being the best of all. A few plot lines were wrapped up perhaps a bit too neatly, but I must confess that I found those wrap-ups fitting. Some excellent acting, especially by the lead, Sidse Babett Knudsen, lots of whose previous work had been comedy rather than dramatic roles. I understand that a Season 4 is planned, nearly a decade after the series ended, for release in Denmark and on Netflix in 2022, Covid permitting. See more Read all reviews
