Borgen - Dangerous rope teams (Original title: Borgen) is a Danish television series . The Danish broadcaster DR1 aired them in three ten-part seasons between 2010 and 2013.
The Danish original title Borgen ( German : "the castle") is the slang term for Christiansborg Palace , the seat of the Danish parliament , the head of government and the supreme court .
General

action
First season
The focus of the series is Birgitte Nyborg ( Sidse Babett Knudsen ), a politician from the fictional Moderate Party who is unexpectedly elected Denmark's first female Prime Minister. Borgen - Dangerous Roped Offices is about the intrigues and power games in politics. In addition, the influence of the press is part of the cinematic narrative as the fourth estate. The series also sheds light on the private life of the characters involved, including Nyborg's family life with the two children and her husband, who, as agreed between them, is putting his career on hold for that of his wife. However, the situation grows over his head over time and he is increasingly dissatisfied.
Second season
The second season takes place in Nyborg's next year of reign. Bent Sejrø, her confidante and mentor , suffers a stroke that has no consequences. Birgitte Nyborg is divorced; her daughter Laura suffers from panic disorder and is successfully treated in psychiatry . In the last episode, Nyborg calls new elections.
Third season
Birgitte Nyborg returns from the private sector to politics two and a half years later - it remains to be seen whether she lost the new elections announced at the end of the second season or whether she withdrew from politics for other reasons. Since the return to the moderate is blocked, she founds a new party, The New Democrats . In addition to Bent, her political foster father, she also wins and loses new comrades-in-arms. Her new spin doctor will be Katrine Fønsmark, who has a son with Kasper Juul but lives separately from him. Torben Friis, TV1's news chief , becomes one of the main characters of the third season. In the end, Nyborg with 13 seats won enough seats to rejoin a government coalition and to shape politics “in the interests of Denmark”. In her private life she survived breast cancer and had an increasingly intense love affair with the British architect Jeremy Welsh.
