The take

This Homeland-style mini-series is about a Norwegian soldier who returns home from Afghanistan and finds himself tangled in a web of questionable global politics.

Like most Norwegian series on the topic, and there have been quite a few lately, the production value struggles to match Hollywood shows. But paying that small price will get you an abundance of sharp dialogue and a nuanced thriller.

Comments

We loved this series through episode 6 but Netflix ended the run on Nov 6 and we haven’t found where to watch the remaining episodes.
