Yes, I watched the new Borgen redux without subtitling issues. I really liked it and desperately want more of it. For one, it was rather nice that the female actors all looked their age to since we saw them last. All seemingly untouched by any sort of procedures which made sense as their characters but feels somewhat unprecedented for actresses.
As much as I loved watching the original Borgen for the interior porn, this time it was the costume choices that were scene stealing. Not in an omg amazing fashion SATC sort of way, but as a subtle narrative of the characters and where they're at in their lives (conflicting, as always).
I assume it was written and filmed pre Ukraine invasion but it plays into themes of that as well, and how a smaller country sits between the exertions of superpowers. I also didn't know that much about the dynamics between Greenland and Denmark so that was very interesting.
It was decidedly different from the original in some ways (the focus shifting from national to international politics) but at the same very familiar and as absorbing as the original. There's also an interesting dynamic of pragmatic older and idealistic younger generations tensions that plays out within her family dynamic which leads to some great moments. I'd thoroughly recommend trying to make the subtitles work. My only gripe was the absence of spin doctor Kasper 
It's weird though, I only came across it by accident, I didn't see any press for it. I have my suspicions as to why 🤔 but maybe I've just inadvertently missed all the press.
Books, ehm tough one, I think the only two that I'd recommend as having some advantage over anything you can find on YouTube (video does have a bit of edge over books when it comes to sewing, I find) are
Claire B Schaeffer's Couture Sewing Techniques
Thomas von Nordheim Vintage Couture Tailoring
Despite the Couture in both titles I'd view them more as hand sewing books and how to basically get nice finishes. Von Nordheim's book focuses only on constructing a blazer but there's a wealth of information in there with good pictures and he's also a very entertaining writer.
Alternatively, I'd consider potentially asking for a Scribd subscription. It's a tenner a month, has both the above books and the Justine Picardie books (Miss Dior is an audiobook though). It's like a Netflix of books with loads of titles you can read/listen to without limit (although there is some limit to the audiobooks but I've never hit it despite regularly having one on the go). There's loads of useful sewing books on there as well which has helped me realise a great many of them are rather obsolete with the advent of YouTube. Maybe also worth considering asking for one of the online V&A courses, there's some affordable ones hidden among the scarily expensive ones?
