Few series have better depicted the machinations of government and the demands it makes on those involved. The deliciously paced and sharply plotted political drama returns after nine years, with Netflix taking over from the Danish public broadcaster. If you liked the original series of Borgen … then Borgen Power & Glory will be right up your alley. Only some hallucinatory nightmares for bit players, which portend a new evil at work in Hawkins, offer the promise of the necessary new adversary. When Stranger Things is just a story of teenage angst, exacerbated by cliche blonde bully Angela (Elodie Grace Orkin), the seams show via over-the-top costumes and uneven performances. You can feel the show’s narrative engine slowly revving up, but the wait is excruciating in part. It takes three episodes to really click – an issue when the entire season has just nine episodes (the first instalment releases May 27, the second on July 1).

Each season, you’ll come back to follow the relationships between characters that you want to succeed, from Piper and Alex, to Poussey and Brook, to so many others. While Orange is the New Black sounds like it would be more like a prison show, the crimes these people committed really take a backseat, because the relationships are in the forefront. Now, she must serve a more than a year-long sentence in this minimum security prison, dealing with the ongoings of prison life.
