Borgen season 4 release time, plot, review and other details
Borgen - Power & Glory will premiere on Netflix on June 2, 2022, at 3.00 AM ET. Season 4 arrives nine years after the previous season, making it one of the most anticipated shows on Netflix. Season 3 ended with Birgitte Nyborg becoming the new Minister of Foreign Affairs and will focus on the various challenges that come with the new role. The official synopsis of Borgen - Power & Glory on Netflix reads:
''Foreign Minister Birgitte Nyborg finds her career in jeopardy when a dispute over oil in Greenland threatens to become an international crisis.''
The series received widespread critical acclaim, with most critics praising the show's thematic ambitions, writing, and performances. Several critics also compared it to Aaron Sorkin's iconic political drama, The West Wing, starring Martin Sheen in the lead role. The central character of Birgitte Nyborg also received praise from critics. The show is noted for its portrayal of strong female characters and explores several complex themes, including ambition, the desire for power, and many more.
Borgen explores the ruthlessly ambitious world of politics where the desire for power brings out the best and worst out of people. What's remarkable about the series is that despite its thematic depth and frequent forays into the dark web of politics, it has an overall optimistic tone, similar to Sorkin's utopian vision of America.
Although the first two seasons received highly positive reviews, reactions to the third season were more divisive, with some critics finding the season 3 finale to be overly dramatic and unrealistic. After a gap of nine years, the fourth season is expected to provide a fresh take on Nyborg's life ahead as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
