Season overview
As the second 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 faces a precarious mission when the Foreign Minister moves to re-open the embassy in Islamabad, which was closed after a terrorist bombing several years before. This decision puts the lives of many at risk, not only in Denmark, but also 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. The Danish national police branch PET is in charge of personal protection, mainly of politicians and the royal family, which also involves preventive work concerning terrorism and stalking. Meanwhile, several team members must keep on top of personal concerns, such as ethnic background-related concerns and relational troubles.
