What a surprise to see second season have arrived! This Is brilliant multi genres show with cold but great humor injections that I would definitely recommend to sci-fi fans!

I have watched the first 3 episodes and I am completely hooked. This is the best TV I have watched for ages: great production values, smart and funny dialogue and likeable characters. It defies easy categorisation as it is a show that makes significant political critiques while being laugh out loud funny, has the maddest story line ever while somehow managing not to be completely ridiculous and is full of truly emotional moments. It is a comic, sci fi, time travel inspired, cop drama with drugs and sex, vikings and bohemians. I can't believe I've just written that sentence AND given it 8 stars!!

I looked out this show, because I heard that in this show Krista Kosonen speaks languages that she doesn't actually speak irl. I wanted to see how good work she does. But yeah, I forgot that aspect as soon as I found the show. It's not Krista, it's Alfhildir, a bad ass police and a soldier. The show is funny, witty, very perceptive about nuances of the present day nationalism and migration themes. Also I love love love the "old languages" in the show #linguisticnerd .

Okay, there are also many historical flaws (it almost hurt me to see modern harness on a horse in year of 1300 or something. Like come on, wrap something over them or something) and inconsistencies, but I can forgive them, because the show is very good. Oh and also, good work Krista! You nailed the languages!

Both HBO and Netflix support local production companies to produce unique independent content. Most of it is horrible. This, however, is excellent. The reveals in the last ten minutes of the season finale are mind blowing.. in an "ahh.. of course" kind of way. Wow. What a setup.. what a satisfying payoff. Genius.

Norwegian. Really interesting, inventive. very few in this genre are a 10-

Engaging. Leads are great; script & dialogue. Yes I have to depend on the subtitles. In French subtitles, I understand well enough, that I see they are not, in my estimation, accurate to capture the dialogue. This is one reason why often French, especially comedies, don't translate-

in my opinion, HBO Has 2 big winners- this & The Plot Agaisnt America. many of the others are unwatchable. Even those that win awards.

SciFi fan or not, I say watch this one.

looking forward to Season 2.
