Okkupert plot

In the near future, the Norwegian government decides, without consultation with neighboring countries, to stop all their oil and gas extraction in order to switch completely to renewable energy. Russia then, with the approval of the EU, invades the country to keep the raw materials available for the rest of the world. What should have been a nonviolent, temporary invasion soon degenerates into unrest and tension. Norwegian citizens feel their freedom is being violated and are revolting.

Review via my blog In 100 words | El Bromista reviews - in100words.wordpress.com

Securing meets Die Hard. The Norwegian Occupied shows how Russia occupies its Norwegian neighbors and thus shakes the peaceful society there. Strong acting, compelling characters and a pitch-black plot are the order of the day. Occupied shows in an exciting way how the Norwegians do everything they can to avoid an armed conflict, without kicking the Russians against the megalomaniac shins – impossible work. The fact that an IS-like group has emerged in Norway in the meantime does not help matters. The script sometimes seems unrealistic, but author Jo Nesbø deliberately chose the most pessimistic scenario.

There is potential in the basic data, but how believable is it really? Yes, you can look at Crimea, but that's not Norway. As a framework for various practices (such as the capture of Crimea by Russia) it is interesting, but unfortunately I encountered quite a few quite uninteresting characters here; the rebellious journalist, the cheating restaurateur and most security types are rather cliché folks who do cliché things. And so are the attacks and counter-attacks.

In the last 4 parts, the stubborn politician gets some more attention and that works out well. His character is also a lot more interesting than most, and Henrik Mestad plays convincingly. Furthermore, the female head of the Norwegian secret service is interesting, good game too, and the same goes for the female lawyer.

Furthermore, it is all quite 'sterile' and clean designed (tight buildings, little color, etc.), but that works somehow. Unfortunately, it really gets interesting in terms of plot and characters way too late.

2.0*.

This political thriller draws some of its suspense from its familiar ingredients: terror threat, power games, espionage and betrayal. An original twist is given to the conflict around energy. Thorium is a radioactive chemical element discovered in Norway and named after the god Thor. It would enable a safer form of nuclear energy and drastically reduce CO2 emissions. The Russian interference makes this series extremely topical.

The relationship between politics and media provides extra pigment. Journalist Thomas Eriksen is an idealist. The prime minister, on the other hand, has abandoned his youthful ideals for a more pragmatic policy, but in doing so risks becoming a front man for the Russian regime. People have to decide where their loyalties lie. The best roles are for Eldar Skar as the security man Djupvik and the Lithuanian Ingeborga Dapkunaite as the stiff-headed Russian ambassador Sidorova.

The government building actually belongs to Statoil in Fornebu, near Oslo. The construction with five large stacked beams is state-of-the-art and energy efficient. A contrast to this are the snow-covered birch forests. There is a good balance between dialogue and action. The quick editing creates a hectic atmosphere with a dose of paranoia.
