The Last Kingdom

A show of heroic deeds and epic battles with a thematic depth that embraces politics, religion, warfare, courage, love, loyalty and our universal search for identity. Combining real historical figures and events with fictional characters, it is the story of how a people combined their strength under one of the most iconic kings of history in order to reclaim their land for themselves and build a place they call home.

Few series hold true for 5 seasons. @TheLastKingdom did—in triumph! “Vikings,” sadly, lost its way. But inspired adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s books & wonderful actors led by Alexander Dreymon & David Dawson lift TLK to the top rank. Can’t recommend this show highly enough!

Re-watching the excellent @Occupied_series —about a “soft occupation” of Norway by Russia. Apart from smart plotting, they do an amazing job of creating a huge canvas with what I assume is a TV budget. Has sort of a Norwegian Ridley Scott feel.

Nobel

Lieutenant Erling Riiser is on his way back to Norway after a long stay in Afghanistan. Much has gone wrong, several soldiers are missing from the Hercelus-plane. After only one day in Norway, Erling receives a text message saying an old acquaintance from Afghanistan is in Oslo - which can mean only one thing: A woman's life is in danger

I've discovered a fantastic cable TV show: the Norwegian #NOBEL on Netflix. Afghan war fallout comes to Oslo. Writing and acting right up there with @BabylonBerlin, only Nobel portrays absolute realism while Babylon Berlin has stunning, hypnotic surrealism atop its grittiness.

W Season 2 Ep 9 #Ozark joined the first rank of cable TV writing. Insightful and true depiction of marriage/family, bookended by "Wichita Lineman." Bravo!
