(Norwegian here). Great show, but it's so hilariously and transparently self-flattering to the Norwegian sense of self.

Norway boldly goes zero-emission and turns off the fossil fuel tap.

The European Union essentially hires Russia to swoop in and invade in response to turn the tap back on. When the shocked Norwegian prime minister demands to talk to the person in charge, the EU chief's head pops up and scolds them saying they had this coming. Norwegian pm demands to talk to a european head of state.... and SWEDEN pops up. SWEDEN!

Seriously, I love this show, but the American equivalent would be if France and China teamed up as an evil strikeforce to invade America because they were printing too many Bibles or something.

EDIT: also if norway turned off the tap, isn't that GOOD for Russian gas exports & thus controlling europe? But exciting fiction nonetheless :P

I'd love to watch that one, haha!

Although I have to say, being scandinavian (πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ) as well, the show had me thinking better about the life in Ukraine 2014, Iraq 2003 or Afghanistan 2001. Let's all refuse violence, and end war.

Yeah the show is pandering to the whole "Putin scare" that MSM has going.
