    Storyline

    Edit
    A few years after people from the past inexplicably began appearing in the ocean, Alfhildr - who comes from the Viking Age - is teamed up with burned-out Oslo police officer Lars Haaland as part of the police department's integration program. While investigating the murder of a woman with Stone Age tattoos, Lars and Alfhildr make some chilling, unexpected discoveries.

    PC garbage
    Halfway through I could no longer follow, and by the end of season 1 I was done wasting my time with this garbage.

    It is not a stretch to understand that the "beforeigners" are in reality the illegal immigrants inundating Western Europe, in particular Norway, today. All the extreme left ideas are expressed as positive aspects of modern people: LGBTQ (the acronym gets longer every year), the hatred of Christians (but pagan superstitions are alright?!), the liberal use of drugs - even by teenagers, rebellion against any authority, etc.

    I could have done without the discussion on sanitary pad/moss which was supposed to be funny, but instead was disgusting, and without Navn' prolonged nudity, which was all in poor taste, even though he's a handsome specimen.

    There is really nothing to learn from this garbage series, and it was a waste of my time. Oh, wait, there is one thing I learned: apparently it's politically incorrect to use the"V" word ("Viking"). What?!
