TV 2 has turned the big drum in the fall with “Occupied”, which is their most expensive drama program ever, with a budget of 90 million. The series is based on a scenario in which Russia occupies Norway, for an idea of Jo Nesbø.
But TV2 experience – like many other channels – the drama to a lesser extent seen directly. First episode of the series was watched by 663,000 direct viewers, while the later has been seen by a total of around 939,000 viewers.
441 000 direct viewers
Third episode was shown on Sunday evening and the number of direct viewers have now fallen to 414 000. “Occupied” is thus not included on the list of last week’s 20 most watched programs on Norwegian TV.
– We see that seing such dramas going over time on multiple platforms. Many people choose to watch the series on TV 2 Sumo and in recordings, and overall we are satisfied with the numbers, communication manager at TV 2, Jan-Petter Dahl.
– The series went late on a Sunday night, and we has more a goal to build a good total on Sunday evening. At the same time we saw with “Frikjent” that directly seing fell, but rose again later in the series, he elaborates.
– But that commercial broadcaster would you perhaps as many as possible looking directly?
– We want as many as possible the first time viewers, but this has been a deliberate strategy, and we know that such dramas are greatly over time, says Dahl about the series, to be shown in 10 episodes.
– Critics misunderstand
The series of individual received criticism for fomenting the fear of the Russians, but Jo Nesbø believes critics
– The idea was to use fiction to consider what size democracy and independence is worth on a individual level, not to hang out EU and Russia as such. The point is not who the occupier is, but how our generation had acted, we who have not grown up with war, but have often asked ourselves about what we had done in our ancestors’ place, said Nesbø NRK last weekend.
