Borgen returns with a fourth season nine years later and does so in a quite different landscape (political, media) from the one that left us with its third season in 2013. The Danish series which discovered the public with the incombustible birgitte nyborg, born in the emergence of platforms and political series, now plays in the league of Netflix and the vagaries of new politics. The former Danish Prime Minister has to face the popularization of slogans linked to ecology and feminism, with the character she reembodies Sidse babett knudsen faced with a different situation that forces the viewer to reflect on what is authentic in these new “sustainable” discourses.
It may be that the series that Adam Price continues to pilot suffers from this newness, from this notion of having discovered something familiar but different from ten years ago, but despite the adaptation to binge watching of Netflix, its narrative continues to boast of that "clear line" that never confuses the viewer (despite the abundance of plots and characters) and some characters of a certain sweetness despite the unstoppable succession of political tricks and low blows that one expects from a fiction on the plumbing of power.
Borgen. kingdom, power, glory (This is how this fourth season was subtitled for Netflix) tells us about the events triggered after the discovery of a huge oil well in Greenland, a Danish territory with a certain autonomy. Más allá de los paralelismos que uno pueda encontrar con la piel de toro, uno de los Méritos de Borgen consists in dilucidar cómo gestionan estos dilemas los países nórdicos: la crisis de poder que desencadena (y que va más allá de la ecología) vertebra ocho episodios en los que Birgitte empieza a sufrir, en primer lugar, los estragos de la menopausia así como el precio de la ambición de poder, viendose potencialmente arrinconada en su gabinete, lo que sirve a Knudsen para demostrar que no ha perdido el pulso de su character.

A certain dose of darkness hangs over it and a series nourished, yes, by the prodigious Greenlandic landscapes, which add a touch of northern suspense to a plot that is not at all original but with some interesting twists linked to the common good in times of climate dissertations, the flight of some progressive discourse from the new politics and, finally, the price to pay for compromising these principles.
You never know what Adam Price really believes, but the serenity, sense of humor and even the occasional sentimentality of putting it all on the table in an elegantly and understatedly staged series that doesn't try not to emphasize its darker side. The great merit of Borgen was not to confuse this Nordic packaging with the idealism of The West Wing of the White House or the rowdy tone of Card castlealthough the drop in quality compared to the original series is also a bit noticeable.
