Just finished watching this on NETFLIX. Interesting drama. In short, a Leftist Green Norwegian government gets itself a "friendly" Russian occupation. Near future setting, U.S. withdrew from NATO and the EU sold out the Norwegians in partnership with Russia.

The weak Norwegian government, that wanted to save the world from climate change, sucks and the Norwegian people and military begin a resistance movement against the "cooperative Russian occupation".

I recommend it.

Thanks just saved it to my Netflix queue. Enjoyed the Netflix series Lilyhammer which also takes place in Norway and is sort of a Sopranos spinoff.

So Europeans are supposed to be terrified of a Russian invasion, yet tolerant of an Arab one.

Just binge-watched the FULL season 1 on Netflix, finished last night.

It paints a highly plausible scenario, chilling and compelling.

Many times I considered Prime Minister Berg as a born-again Quisling —it’s amazing nobody in the film flung that insult at him.

I also thought the main character —a Secret Service guy who is suddenly called on to play greater and greater roles in dealing with the Russians— was cracked up to be a kind of hero, though in my opinion he was pretty much a collaborator.

I think 95% of Freepers would immediately identify with the “Free Norway” group within one or two episodes.

There are 10 episodes in season 1, and I believe the last one is the best.

I really REALLY hope they do another season, I liked this much more than The Walking Dead.

Norway is being invaded right now. They better get their act together and expel the Muslims — or a Soviet takeover will look like a good deal.

They should get real and show the islam invasion taking place right now. You can not allow islam to survive in a modern society.

Russia ain’t the problem, islam is.

This drama has been done before. Ask the Finns about a Russian invasion.
