The USA don't always win
Feb. 16th, 2012 10:00 pmI've always loved Tom Selleck and I can't wait for the next Jesse Stone movies (in May 20, I believe) but Blue Bloods is not for me...I gave it a try, for Tom, but it's just another cop show and the writing is quite poor, so I kept flipping the channels to ARTE to watch Danish series, Borgen, that is actually very good.
Borgen is a series about politics-- a bit like State of Play meets The West Wing-- with the lead being a (rather young) woman, from the Centre, who becomes Prime Minister of Danemak. It is well written, well directed and filled with actors who look like familiar faces : so far we've got a journalist who looks like Billie Piper, a spin doctor who looks like a mix of young Kenneth Brannagh and Joshua Jackson, and the villain who started as leader of the Labour party (the staff behind the show doesn't seem to like the left wing), and kinda looks like Eric Stoltz!
And I'm still trying to figure out who the journalist' boss looks like, because his face is familiar too...
Funnily enough, in the second episode of Borgen tonight (episode4 of season1), the plot involved Groenland, the CIA, and some State lie (or real potilik if you prefer)...and Madam Prime Minister (the actress playing Birgitte Nyborg sometimes looks like Laura Roslin from BSG!) eventually decided to reclaim Danish sovereignty over the American imperialism...
