minister alters her behaviour. In the first series, Birgitte Nyborg

the demands of power force her to compromise or alter her
perspective? The episodes are: 'Decency in the Middle', 'Count to
90', 'The Art of Possible', '100 Days', 'Men Who Love Women',
'State Visit', 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil', 'The

October'. In the second series, two years have past since Birgitte
was elected prime minister and she continues to deal with problems
in both her personal and professional life. Having split from her
husband Philip (Mikael Birkkjær), she becomes envious when he seems
to be moving on. Meanwhile, tensions rise in parliament as Labour
members begin to rebel and Birgette has to make important decisions
regarding Danish soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. The episodes
