I'm grateful for all the Scandinavian series we've had on TV, particularly on BBC4 on Saturdays. Noirs (particularly the first series of "The Killing"), cops ("Wallander" and "Beck"), political drama ("Borgen") historical ("1864") and fantasy (the Russians invading Norway in "Occupied.") Loved them all.
However, I fear the vein may be running thin. After the anti-climactic ending of "Twin" comes this one, which is basically a soap opera with lots of tedious business and political wrangling. There are pluses (the acting, the '60s music and the beauty of Norway) but I'm not sure I'll make it to the end.
