Not  everyone benefitted from the re-focusing, but at least the season finale sets  up what could be a potentially solid Season 4 \u2013 <em>if<\/em> <strong>Borgen<\/strong>\u2019s makers  choose to go there with a full roster of key talent.<\/p>\n<p>Season 3\u2019s only been released in Europe,  but it seems inevitable MHz Network, who hold the North American rights, will  release a DVD set in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>One piece of advice for the label: <strong>do not use the cheap, pliable plastic cases  with coarse backing<\/strong>. A whole slew of Season 2 sets had badly scuffed DVDs  due to the terrible quality of the plastic used for the hub insert. Often it\u2019s the pressing plant that decides on the type of cases, so MHz is  wise to be hawkish and make sure the replication house sticks to standard  Amaray cases. Nothing worse than dropping cash and having half a set damaged  from poor packaging elements.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark R.
