She is a pm that all of us have dreamt of. Having watched all episodes, I would have tagged this one as fantasy not by genre but by viewer perception. Being not too big on politics, as I find daily political news 'draining', yet I think there is something unique and poignant about Borgen, as the show urges even the most politically indifferent among us, to keep on watching.Though its not about a politician alone but more about dilemmas involved in investigative journalism, politics and sacrificies made along the way.

No mojo, no pazazz...but load of in yer face sort of enforced punchlines. One episode is way too much to steal from lifetime to know that this show is about 2 bestfriends who desperately are trying to be mental yet missing on the fact that one cannot fake mental... but either born as one or not!

Year after year, my hopes for recognition of songs for their versatility in genre and originality in score, grow thinner. As it seems to be the case in motion pictures, music industry also appears to be restrained by interests of the ruling few. I personally detest the fact that marketing tools are speaking louder than talent and diversity! Grammies, Oscars and Bafta nominations and awards make it crystal that unlike eras before 2010, awards bestowed in cinema and music sectors today no longer can be deemed as filters and acknowledgements of talent but more like as recognitions of best marketing campaigns. I can't help but feel sorry for younger generations who would acknowledge the imposed mainstream marketing marvels as best in the business.

This season's judges are promising. Watched 5th blind audition session and it was actually moving to witness a potential new generation george michael ending up with George! Personally was never a fan of that genre yet still witnessing that moment where Vangelis met George was epic!

Unfortunately, even if in so many aspects we have groundbreaking developments in improving our life standards, still no movie,book, study seems to suffice in raising awareness about statuary rape, incest, sexual abuse, pedophilia; where numbers of such crimes soar still. Instead of addressing issues in a focused witty storyline, this show totally fails turning it into a lousy mad lib protest. I was worried before watching the show when I realised it was written and directed by Jane Campion... and sadly,I was right . As a woman I often have difficulty understanding Campion's persistence in portraying female characters as melodramatic, needy, romantic, ubersensitive, anxious to bond at first given chance type of dependant weaklings. Script was very predictable even episodes prior to twists. It had No credibility throughout the season and by midseason it became evident that ending will resemble twin peaks. Elizabeth Moss and scenery were two factors that made it watchable....just about.

I for one, usually shy away from political dramas, especially from those that involve election games and plots; but this one got even a cynic like me hooked. Spin is a compelling political drama that unleashes many familiar but more not so commonly recognised schemes and tactics involved during elections. Each episode leaves me feeling 'time well-spent'

Show deserves 5 stars based on first 2 seasons only! Needless to say Tatiana Maslany and Jordan Gevaris put forth stellar performances, Maria Doyle Kennedy is mesmerizing as ever, plus we've got to see her on stage. Despite the show lacked scientific coherence, plot-wise congruity yet because acting was so good and for 2 seasons show had a quirky and gripping script, we wanted to believe and pursue along. I was a bit disappointed by 3rd season, I anticipated same level of excellence from show's writers as the first 2 seasons but addition of male clone project was not so original . So another season may make me question why I initially loved this show.

Based on first 2 episodes that I watched, it is a good show. James Nesbitt's charismatic portrayal being pivotal part of the appealing concept. Not compelling enough for my taste such as i.e. London Spy, Salamander,etc., but certainly entertaining.

Top notch entertainment...perfect treat for weekend binge-watching! Elaborately written plot.

This is a good drama show that takes place in public prosecutors office. It focuses on personal dramas of solicitors tidbit more than the 'mechanics', involved in the prosecution process; yet still manages to reflect upon perils involved in being a prosecutor. Characters are well built progressively. Considering many unbearable shows that are currently getting 3rd season, I think this one would have deserved 2nd season.
