Series 1 - 10. The First Tuesday in October

Review by:

It’s make-or-break time for both prime minister Birgitte and news anchor Katrine in the series finale, where triumph and despair are never far from each other. But peripheral characters like gnomish finance minister Bent and scatterbrained PA Sanne get a turn in the spotlight, too. Fans will miss this invigorating import, with its rounded human beings and immersive plots.

About this programme

10/10. Birgitte is put under pressure on the eve of the new parliamentary year, as her ratings in opinion polls decline, the media delves into her private life and the increasingly powerful Labour party demands more influence in government. An over-stretched Kasper reluctantly makes a deal that has far more serious consequences than anticipated, while Katrine is given a chance to return to TV1 News. Last in the series.
