[www.imdb.com]

just finished 4th and I assume last season. 10 eps/season.
Very satisfying and interesting show. Great players, writers and production.
If you can tolerate subs and the occasional rewind, it's worth the dive.
Or if you understand Danish.

Currently streaming on Netflix - 3 seasons of 10 episodes each done between 2010 and 2014, and an 8 episode season released in 2022 which is listed as "Borgen: Power & Glory". That appears to be the only US streaming service currently according to justwatch.com. It is on my list to watch, haven't got to it yet.

I heard such good things that I bought the UK DVD 6 years ago for Seasons 1-3. Nice that it finally reached US officially. Watched the 4th season a couple of weeks ago.

I enjoyed it but watched it dubbed.
I hate reading subtitles.
The dubbing is well done
I think most of the main characters speak English and did their own dubbing, so that helps.

I’ve seen them both and it definitely is.

A sleeper in all this, is the original BBC version of “House of Cards” starring Ian Richardson. Every bit as good as the American iteration with Mr. Handsy.

The brit version comes in the form of a trilogy — House of Cards, HoC: To Play the King, and HoC: The Final Cut.

The entire trilogy is available free on The Roku Channel, with commercials. For the adverphobic, the second and third parts of the series are available on Amazon Prime also.

The bartender asks the rabbit "what'll ya have?"
The rabbit says "I dunno. I'm only here because of Autocorrect.



National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
As of July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now available by simply dialing 988. The previous number, 1-800-273-8255, will remain active.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Occupied is a Jo Nesbø project. Nesbø is the author of the Ove series of books now a new Hanks movie with the Norwegian Ove (pronounced "ou-vee") transferred to Otto.

Nesbø is becoming an industry.

Fantastic show! We tried watching the dubbed verzsion but could t stand it. For us, the danish version was much better.



"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan
