Aiden Barr The Lilyhammer series was quite entertaining. Very funny. The trailer really doesn't do it justice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RknOi6nUD4o

ANOTHER ROUND and particularly the excellent IN ORDER OF DISAPPEARANCE. Not Norwegian per se. Both more Scandinavian.

Sick of Myself, a Norwegian dark humour dramedy. Saw this in a London Q&A with protagonist Kristine Thorp in attendance.
