The story centers around the naming of a new EU commissioner. While this is a signiiicant post, it is of little use for political climbers. Apparently, getting sent to Belgium is a sentence of boredom. I don't know a lot about the Danish hierarchy, but it is obvious that like most systems, the dominos start to fall. Bent refuses the post at first, but then changes his mind. What Birgitte doesn't realize is that he has health issues and this is realized too late. She is also vilified by the press who use false statements to hurt her. The news at home continues to be challenging and she has enough adversaries to keep her running in circles.

NOT Liking It
Warin_West-El13 February 2023
This second season is considerably slower than season 1.
Do we really care that Hanne Holm is a drunk? Brigitte is now portrayed as being much weaker than she was last season. And that inconsistency REALLY hurts this series.
We're forced to watch a Prime Minister who has lousy instincts. She fails to see when people are lying to her. Professional politicians who cannot discern lies are quickly vanquished from office.
Moreover, this series is teetering on making the same mistake that brought down Bedrag. Last season, the family scenes were interspersed with the main plot and maintained the overall pacing. This season, the scenes with Brigitte and Magnus are indistinguishable from the scenes of Claudia and her child in Bedrag. They're terribly slow and boring sequences.
I'm hoping this series will get better. But so far I'm NOT liking it.
