About the show

Borgen (Danish pronunciation: [ˈpɒˀwn̩]) is a Danish political drama television series. Adam Price is the co-writer and developer of the series, together with Jeppe Gjervig Gram and Tobias Lindholm. The first three seasons were produced by the Danish public broadcaster DR, while season 4, Power & Glory, was produced by SAM Productions on behalf of DR, which previously produced The Killing. In Denmark, "Borgen" (lit. 'The Castle') is the informal name of Christiansborg Palace where all three branches of Danish government reside: the Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court, and is often used as a stand in term for the Danish Parliament (Folketinget).
