Season 3
Having just watched and enjoyed the first two Seasons on DVD , I was wondering if the third was worth seeing. Some people seem to think it is not as good as it's predecessors.

shareI finished watching the whole series for the first time. The third season doesn't get a lot of good press but I like it. Kasper doesn't appear a lot in the series and the personal lives of the characters appear a lot more where it becomes almost like a soap but I like how the political part goes in a different direction. I'm not going to go too much into it as I don't want to post spoilers incase you do want to watch it.
The only thing I did really like about the third series as opposed to the first two season was how the woman politicians where presented. I know that there is a glass ceiling for woman in todays society regardless of what people say and that those woman who try to break above it are in for a really tough time but I felt at times in the first two series that the male politicians were portrayed as the worst of the feminist cliches. I don't doubt that these types exist and are alive in kicking but I felt it went just too much there and the female politicians were giving an easy ride especially Pernille who was a nasty bit of stuff. However, season 3 did show some of the female politicians in as much a bad light as their male counterparts which made it feel different and refreshing in that way than the previous two.
Season 3 seemed a bit preachy at times, particularly the episode on prostitution, as if the show were more interested in making political points than presenting challenges for the characters or telling a good story.
