The only reason I'm interested in the Scandinavian releases of these shows is because the UK release of the Bridge was for some reason fairly messed up (2.0 audio only, burned-in subs, and squeezed on to 2 discs rather than 3). It sounds like The Killing collection remedied at least some of these concerns.

It would be great to know how Borgen stacks up.

Bit convoluted but a friend of the partner of one of my friends in our Copenhagen office was on the crew. She works as a production assistant there and has been on the shoots for both The Killing and Borgen.

I asked her to check about the BD for me. Was her comment that sales were poor, however not surprised as S1 was DKK400 so just over £40 and not reduced. They dropped the DVD prices some time after release but BD just went OOP, is hard to find.

Denmark Borgen S1 BD obviously has removable subtitles in Danish and English, with only Dolby 5.1 on 2 disks.
As I said the extras are obviously all Danish with deleted scenes and featurette.

Have the Swedish BD of The Bridge as now spend more time in Stockholm than Copenhagen. Again removable subtitles including English.
