It's a Norwegian TV series consisting of 18 episodes (2 seasons). You have to suffer the subtitles, but the characters' dialogue is pretty basic so the use of subtitles isn't too bad.
What I found fascinating is the attitude that the Norwegian characters demonstrated regarding their border-neighbor, Russia. Granted, the basic plot involves Russia - with the cooperation of the EU - executing a "silk glove" takeover of the Norwegian government, so it makes sense that the dialogue would include some sense that their Russians counterparts were, um, difficult to take. That said, the dialogue included some generalized commentary reflecting what likely represents relatively common attitudes that real Norwegians have regarding Russia. Apparently the Kremlin took some exception to this dialogue when it first aired in Norway.
Has anybody else seen this series? Thoughts?

PS - I now can guess where "Norge" appliances got their name. Pronounced correctly, that name doesn't rhyme with "George".
