Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

gmorgan51-158-682165 Occupied - Seasons 1 and 2 - are the best 18 episodes of television ever made. And, because I had to depend on English subtitles for the majority of the dialogue, it may have lost something in the translation. But I doubt it. Every minute, the storyline, the plot, the acting, the pace, was compledtely engrossing. Even the issues were complex, considering that it was made-for-television fiction. The series kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It was so disappointing to realize that the second season was released in 2017, but unavailable in the US. I must have searched for it on HUNDREDS! of sites. Finally, it was announced that the second season was available on Netflix US. I always liked Netflix and used to be a member. But the price of everything increased while my retirement income remained the same, so I had to let go of even small luxuries. But I reinstated my membership just for Occupied Season2. What a bargain!

benjaminsoerensen The plotline of this show is as narrow-minded and implausible as anything radical leftists come up with these days: Russia occupies Norway with the consent of the EU, due to Norway's decision to stop its production of fossil fuels. Of course, feminism and miscegenation also find their way into this pathetic attempt at storytelling. Sad to see that Norwegian TV-shows have stooped to the levels of the British Brainwashing Corporation. If this show is representative of the state of culture and identity in Norway, the self-hating and destructive behavior of Sweden will soon take root in Norway.

Greg Helton The plot revolves around a supposed takeover of Norway's remote oil fields by the Russians as the behest of the EU. It is the beginning of a good story. In the abstract, the plot is good and shows how Russia uses its soft power in support of its military occupation. Unfortunately, the plot is stung together by meetings, official A meets with official B who walks out of that meeting into another meeting with official C. It is so tedious. The combination of bad acting and bad dialog makes every moment spent watching this show painful. The male lead, the secret agent, is one of about ten people who work for Norway's security agency and he is the only one who leaves the office. He is in every gunfight, he leads all the raids, he makes all the arrests, he does all the interrogations and single-handed, he does all the hostage rescues. So tedious. Many of us enjoy shows like 'The Night Manager', 'CSI', and 'Berlin Station' because they show realistic tradecraft but not this show. In most respects, this show is as bad as anything that has ever been produced.

artur-artborg Last year, Norwegian television cave us "Mammon", an unusual series with interesting themes, well-written scripts and good actors (and a somewhat disappointing ending, but what're you gonna do). As such, I looked forward to watching another thrilling series.Instead, I got "Okkupert".The first two episodes of the series are confusing, boring and disappointing. They are also the greatest episodes of the series.While I wouldn't go so far as to call this series straight-up bad (I'm giving it a 5 out of 10, after all) I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone anywhere. Neither writing, direction, editing, music or acting truly works, and some scenes are almost laughable.While it felt as though "Mammon" took inspiration from the terrific Danish series we've gotten recently ("Forbrydelsen", "Borgen" and "Arvingerne" just to name a few), "Okkupert" felt inspired by Sweden. This is not a good thing.I forced myself to finish the entire first season. I will not return for a second.
