Unpleasant questions and trembling excitement: “Nobel” has everything to be the TV talking point.
Director Per Olav Sørensen gathered around the TV-the people in front of the screen with “the Battle for heavy water” in the winter of 2015. A year and a half after, there is warfare here and now he goes out on: Our men and women in Afghanistan, a potentially far more controversial and difficult task than the heroes of Telemark. There is little to suggest that he and manusforfatterne chickens out after seeing two episodes of the series. We meet a Norwegian spesialkommando on a mission in the war-torn country, lieutenant Erling Riiser (Aksel Hennie) is about to “take out” a minor suicide bombing in a square. Scenes that may have been more than inspired by the contemporary american war movies like “The Hurt Locker”. However there is no danger, we are quickly taken back to a “Norwegian” reality.

Just before the action has He talked with his worried son at home in Oslo, a boy of exactly the same age as selvmordsbomberen: “my Dad is careful. When everything goes well.” We know that He should get the bite in the words, well-told, it is in each case. At home, he is married to Johanne Riiser, high on the straw in the UD. Here juggling one business and peace, and the first episode more than suggests that not everything you do on the regjeringsplan will be able to withstand the light of day. It is not sure that the Norwegian people would have liked it if it came up who you really work with. The twisting and at times embarrassing slalåmpolitikken facing China pirkes it also in the course of the first episode. Nervesentrumet in the series is however the home of Riisers. A mission he has been on in Afghanistan is approaching dangerously what the wife keeps on in the UD, and the first spenningstopp be reached in leaking kryssklipping between a Mahler concert in the Oslo Concert hall and a parking garage close by. Here one must accept a somewhat more than konspiratorisk item involving a mysterious sms – it is hoped that the explanation of it will come and stand to the believers.
“the Nobel” is an exclusive series, which we get wind about already in a spectacular fancy opening sequence. But the money is minsanten not used just for “showoff”. Noiadrivende kameraføring and effective clip provides the action and spenningsscenene properly the nerve, but it is the human drama that impresses the most. The portrayal of the battalion in Afghanistan is great: Here, one avoids falling in machofellen as one often does in such series. Testosterone levels are adjusted down. Bikarakterer as Odd-Magnus Williamsons Johansen and Danish Danica Curcics E officer Adella Hanefi allows us instead to feel the unity and familiefølelsen that develops in one such camp. Thus, we care far more about them when it rattles. One could of perhaps feared a breial and narcissistic Aksel Hennie after several tøffingroller in Hollywood, but the 40-year-old balancing a girlfriend, family father and warrior with calm and confidence. The first two episodes introduces us to the characters and possible threads we immediately become curious on the – transparent in a way that bears the commandment that we, as observant viewers may can solve the puzzle together with Erling.
NOTE: Review is based on the first two episodes NRK sends Sunday 25.9
