All ten episodes from the first season of the Emmy award winning Danish drama created by Peter Thorsboe. Jasmina (Cecilie Stenspil), Rasmus (Søren Vejby) and Jonas (André Babikian) are the three newest members of the elite Personal Protection Unit based in Copenhagen who are tasked with guarding people recognised as potential targets for terrorist groups, such as members of the royal family or politicians. This series follows them in their day to day as they adjust to the pressures of their new job while trying to maintain balance in their personal lives as well.
Season 2
10 episodes · 2010
As the second gripping series of The Protectors begins, Denmark is still shaken by the outrage caused in the Islamic world over the publication of a Muhammad cartoon in a Danish newspaper. The Protection Unit of the Danish Intelligence Bureau is faced with a precarious mission, when the Foreign Minister moves to re-open the embassy in Islamabad, closed after a terrorist bombing several years before, the lives of many are at risk - not only in Denmark, but as far away as Moscow and Islamabad. Despite their relentless efforts, murders cannot always be prevented, and suicide bombers cannot always be stopped - even by a highly experienced and elite unit such as this.
