My Review:
So, i got this on Friday, and decide to check it out right away. This is a tv-show that has gotten only perfect reviews in Scandinavia. And everyone i've talked to has only great things to say about it. So i have to say that i had high epxpactations for this tv-show. And it started of brand hot right of the bat. And it kinda just stayed there trough out the whole series. What i am impressed with is, what they have been able to do, with one case in 20 episodes. And its suspence from the 10th minute out in the first episode, and its suspence to the bitter end. And they got a few twists in every episode, and personally i had a few ideas who did what, and who didnt do what. But i was wrong, all of the times. And when you find out the answers of everything. You'll be shocked. This is a tv-show, i'm really glad i checked out! A really good Danish tv-show! A good mix between drama and suspence! A tv-show they highly recommand you guys to check out! And i've borrowed the season 2, hopefully i'll start on that tomorrow or something! Looking forward to check that out too. If that is as good as this.

Stars:
Sofie Gråbøl











Plot:
I en tid preget av terrorisme blir en kvinnelig advokat funnet brutalt myrdet i det nasjonale minnesmerket Mindelunden. Ektemannen pågripes kort tid etter, innsmurt i blod. En opplagt sak, tenker man, men det er noe som ikke stemmer. Politikvinnen Sara Lund (Sofie Gråbøl) hentes motvillig inn fra sitt eksil som grensevakt for å løse saken. Jakten på gjerningsmannen skal vise seg å bli en heseblesende thriller som involverer både politiet, regjeringen og forsvaret, hvor tre vidt forskjellige individer får avgjørende innflytelse på hverandres liv. Den ene er den nyutnevnte justisministeren Thomas Buch, den andre en fengslet soldat og familiefar ved navn Jens Raben - den tredje er Sara Lund.

Advokatdrapet viser seg å være det første i en rekke, og alle ofrene har på en eller annen måte tilknytning til de danske styrkene. Mye tyder på at drapsmannen eller -mennene jobber ut fra en liste, men hvilke navn inneholder den? Og hvem er det neste offeret? Gjennom de ti episodene som utgjør den andre sesongen av Forbrytelsen blir vi med på en forrykende morderjakt gjennom en militærforlegning, Afghanistan og maktens innerste korridorer.

My Review:
So, i was able to borrow season 2 of "Forbrytelsen" and with how things ended in the first season i was real looking forward to check this one out. And it starts out right of the bat (ofc) This season is a bit different then the first one, a very very different case. And Sarah Lund (the lead detective) is very changed aswell. And i have to say that i really liked what they have done with both the case this time around aswell, and with whats happening in the series aswell. And yet again, with all the twists and turns, and didnt have a clue really on what was really going on before the last episode (again!) wich is a good thing IMO. A great series, a great season 2 with a very interesting story aswell. With great character developement aswell. And i have to say great job really well done. And with how things ended in this season, i cant wait to see what they have in store for us in season 3! Again highly recommanded tv-show to check out!

Plot:
Borgen er en dramaserie om det politiske spil om magten i dagens Danmark - og om de personlige omkostninger og konsekvenser spillet har for de involverede parter, både på og bag den politiske scene.
Historiens centrum er den 40-årige politiske leder Birgitte Nyborg Christensen, som med sin idealisme og store indsats skaffer sit parti en jordskredssejr, og dermed kommer til at stå overfor sit livs største udfordring - hvordan kan hun mest effektivt bruge de mange nyvundne mandater, og hvor langt er hun villig til at gå for at få størst mulig indflydelse? Privat lever Birgitte et lykkeligt familieliv med mand og to børn. Men vil hun være i stand til både at være en succesfuld og professionel toppolitiker og samtidig bevare sig selv?
Blandt de mange betydningsfulde personer i Birgitte Nyborgs professionelle liv er hendes medierådgiver, Kasper Juul, som er kendt som en af de skarpeste begavelser i branchen. Men han er også en illusionsløs kyniker, som trænger til rent faktisk at tro på de budskaber, han skal formidle.
En anden markant figur er Katrine Fønsmark, som er politisk journalist på en stor public-service tv-station. Hendes skærmtække og evne til at bringe debatten i øjenhøjde med seerne har lynhurtigt skaffet hende popularitet og gennemslagskraft - men i sit personlige liv er hun rodløs og kan ikke overskue noget som helst.
Borgen har et stort persongalleri og kommer vidt omkring med forgreninger i politiske, journalistiske og private kredse.
Adam Price er seriens hovedforfatter og bliver assisteret af Tobias Lindholm og Jeppe Gjervig Gram som gennemgående episodeforfattere. Søren Kragh-Jacobsen er konceptuerende instruktør, Lasse Frank er konceptuerende fotograf, mens Søren Gam har ansvaret for production design. Halfdan E komponerer musikken, og Camilla Hammerich er producent.

My Review:
So, the Danish people have done it again. I heard some talk about this tv-show, but not that much really. Only that it was a real good one. And i've seen both 'Forbrytelsen' and 'Broen' wich was Danish aswell, really enjoyed those aswell. So this tv-show got a great story to it, about how a women get to the power in Denmark (being the primeminister) and what it takes to stay on top, both with personal battles, battles at work. I really liked how they kept the good mix between the suspence and drama trough out the 10 episodes of this show. I was glued to the tv while watching it. Was a few good twists and turns, and you never know really what would happend next. Great IMO! And i think the cast did a great job aswell. And with how things ended, i'm looking forward to check out Season 2 sometime. Unfortunatly alot of stuff is happening, so i dont have that much time i would want to watch the tv-shows\movies i want to. But ofc, this is highly recommanded from me. Check it out! You wont be sorry.

My Review:
That was real nice. Its a long time since i've watched Friends. And now i finally got the blu-ray set. And for the blu-ray i have to say that i am somewhat disapointed. The picture and sound quality is almost the same as the dvdset. The extras aswell is the same as the dvdset. But i'm not complaining. But for the tv-show, its real nice and real fun. It got some real good moments trough out season 1. Looking forward to the season 2. I just have to say that 'Friends' just might be my favorite tv-shows of all times!
For you HD guys out there. Try this on bluray, if you find on sale. (For me) it was never a quastion to get this or not. For me it was a 'must have'

My Review:
Again another great season! (Almost perfect) Getting closer. Alot of great stuff happening again trough out the season. We are learning more about the characters this season. And "finally" Ross and Rachel! And we got some big names visiting aswell. Julia Roberts, "Mr.Magnum, Tom Selleck" George Clooney! To name a few. Alot of great moments here aswell that i forgot all about! Its nice to catch up on the old seasons again. To see how things have changed, and see everything you've forget aswell. Looking forward to season 3! Hopefully i got some time next week. Money well spent so far IMO.
