Noose Tightening

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 23 August 2023]

It is said over and over, "Where is the loyalty?" Each of the ministries has a leader, but there is mutiny everywhere. The critical issues that are necessary are not addressed because of the grubbing. A reviewer just said that Birgitte is weak. She is anything but. She has to appease the people, but she also has to stabalize the coalition of government entities. She can't simply had down mandate or she will be ouit of a job in a month. This is not the American presidency. She is often in the crosshairs, but where there is discontent there are also people living in glass houses, and one of them is about to be made public. I think this is an excellent show.

SLOOOOOW

This series has slowed down considerably. The political intrigue is not very interesting, primarily because Birgitte is too weak to rule efficiently. So it's always the same thing . . . Problems festering that when resolved lead to new problems.

Kasper is totally disgusting. All he does is tell lies and have sex. We can admire that Katrine DID walk away from Kasper. But she opened her door to him KNOWING he had a girlfriend. So both she and Kasper are (ultimately) negative, disloyal, anti-social personalities.

IMHO, the only interesting scene in this episode was the revelation that Troels IS, in fact, gay. Up until now he has had his way with Brigitte and now we wonder, will this indiscretion with the photographer wind up toppling Troels?
