Miss "The West Wing"? Here's a show that's just as good, I think:

It's called "Borgen" (Danish for "The Castle&quot and it can be found here: http://www.kcet.org/shows/borgen/

The first episode is on line now and the second one should be available after tonight. It's a lot like "The West Wing" only with that dark Scandinavian vibe. It's really good so far; I'm hooked already and can hardly wait for the second episode to go on line.

This show is good, and the word 'castle' does not indicate a period piece...it is West Wingesque.

for some time on Link TV. They translate "Borgen" as "Government." It's a terrific program and well worth the watch, I agree with your analysis of it as a Danish West Wing.
