- TriviaAlthough a fan of the show, Denmark's real female Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, claimed "I've made a point of not watching Sidse Babett Knudsen too closely just to make sure I'm not too influenced by her. If anything, it sometimes feels more as if life is imitating art."

Masterpiece
I have rarely felt such complete commitment to a series. The acting is outstanding. The mix between media and the heart of politics is so cleverly well done it covers drama with reality at a top level. Every single actor in this series deserves high acclaim. The skill from the writers and producers is at gold medal level. A powerful intelligent full package in entertainment, drama and real life.
