第一集开场非常抓人，剧情一波三折，关于Prime Minister的选举候选人之间的各种明争暗斗。前任rimeMinister的下台基本是预料之中，自从他为老婆刷了7万政府资金开始。Birgitte的参谋Kasper说得对，如果他手中的情报用的好，会让“正确”的人当选。 “正确”一词，值得玩味。前首相其实不能说是一个“坏”首相，第二集里的一个部长也说了，前首相其实做的很好，可他错就错在不该拿公款刷卡，政治上一点瑕疵都不能留下。更讽刺的是，帮助Birgitte获得最多席位的Kasper，自己却被扫地出门。仍然讽刺的是，第一集Birgitte否定了Kasper曝光前首相丑闻的提议，在第二集里，却批准了曝光劳动部长的提议，都是为了达到实现民主的目的。这就是政治。而女记者Katrine是真心爱前总理的PR内参，爱到哭得死去活来。 Birgitte的丈夫很有爱啊，第二集里她开始动摇的时候，他告诉妻子如何将谈判桌上的人的注意力都集中过来，这种政治魄力，对人格魅力要求很高。 第二集里更是丑闻连连，为了争夺内阁，各部门各自发飙，劳动部丑不可言，连前首相都虚晃一枪，上电视，拉声誉，想力挽狂澜。 丹麦的整体国情和荷兰很类似，被荷兰人认为是最像荷兰的国家：一样的女王+首相。更类似的一点，我们的首相也是骑单车去上班，正如Birgitte在自己的获胜party上庆功结束后，也会像普通人一样打个车回家。 ★英文介绍： A political drama about a prime minister"s rise to power, and how power changes a prime minister.
