Norsemen , original title Vikingane , is a Norwegian comedy television series by Jon Iver Helgaker and Jonas Torgersen , of which there are so far three seasons.
action
Norsemen is set in Norway around the year 790. It tells the story of a Viking village that struggles with the usual problems of the time. At the same time, today's problems are woven into the plot, which forces the protagonists to act that do not fit into the image of the Vikings. These different contexts form the central core of the comedy element. The series is partly bloodthirsty, partly completely overdrawn and has a lot of English humor .
