Netflix Recommendation: Norsemen



If you have some time to kill and subscribe to Netflix, I heartily endorse Norsemen, a kinda weird show from Norwegian TV that was awkwardly filmed in both Norwegian and English at the same time.

Set in 790 AD, the show follows the residents of Norheim, a village that relies on the pillaging of other communities for their livelihood. They have a poorly-thought-out set of governing principles and a messy social structure, but the food looks pretty good.

If you doubt the quality of Norsemen, rest assured that it won the 2017 Gullruten award for Best Comedy Show in all of Norway!

Oh, and there is a lot of violence, much of it against the poor residents of England.

I may disagree with the Barr analy
