Heimebane season 1

The ten-part first season of the Norwegian Home Ground/Heimebane is a direct hit. The story about the Norwegian premier league club Varg Il is in many ways reminiscent of Ted Lasso. Where comedy and quick jokes predominate in Ted Lasso's S1, the football club in Home Ground is a stepping stone for good drama about current and relevant themes. Helena Mikkelsen (Ane Dahl Torp - Occupied, The Sandhamn Murders) is a trainer in the top of Norwegian women's football. She is asked to train a team in the Eredivisie that is in danger of relegation. Varg Il, compare Fortuna Sittard or RKC, of course has a local entrepreneur as main sponsor and an incoherent rattling team in which every player has his own problems. There's work to be done.

You have to get used to Ane Dahl Torp as a coach. Introverted, hesitant, hands in pockets, lots of quiet play; I was not immediately impressed. But along the way you develop compassion for her and teenage daughter Camilla (Emma Bones), who moves with her mother. Fortunately, a number of actors can play football well. John Carew was a 91-time Norwegian international. The short recordings at Ajax have also been well hit. In short, a smooth drama series in familiar Norwegian quality.

It is also striking that we see Trond Espen Seim, the charismatic protagonist in the series Varg Veum (2007-2012), in an extra role. Seim was also recently seen in a supporting role in Furia. A pity really, because it detracts from its impressive past. The fact that Seim focuses strongly on theater as a director is little consolation.
