    Has anyone seen this on Sky Arts,caught the first two episodes,have to say its top quality Norwegian drama, the whole premise is interesting and sort of unsettling at the same time. Any thoughts?

    I like the foundational premise (Russia invades Norway for it's oil), but I found the contrivances to allow this to happen in a vacuum to be too jarring to let me enjoy the first episode entirely.

    - Norway stops exporting oil because of global warming, the US is self-sufficient in oil so doesn't mind Norway's actions nor Russia expanding into its' sphere of influence in Western Europe (!?), the EU are so desperate for oil they'll throw Norway under the bus and row in with the Russians(!). It all required just a bit too much suspension of disbelief.

    Once you get past that though, it is shaping up to be an interesting and entertaining programme and I'll likely stick with it.
