Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Tear Jerker: Höx's reaction when Birgitte asks him to resign over the wire-tapping of the Solidarity Party's HQ, especially considering his family history and the way Laugesen stabbed him in the back during the coalition negotiations. Yes, he can be a sneak, but dear God, there were tears in his eyes!
    • Another scene in which Birgitte has to ask a cabinet member to resign: in contrast to the above, Bent's reaction is so affecting because he remains stoic and tries to put a gloss of cheer on what is not only the end of his political career but a stab in the back from someone to whom he has been a mentor and a friend.
