Right now I’m having trouble finding new stuff so I started Babylon Berlin–it German, but really good.
I don’t know what it is precisely but women in Norwegian shows and film are portrayed in a way that seems ‘normal’ to me. Women in American films are always so extreme- hyper feminine or masculine, super emo, blah. Its exhausting.

was always treated with the utmost respect by my shipmates , and whenever
I entered the mess , the conversations were always immediately shifted
from Norwegian to English . I have ever since regarded Norwegians with the utmost respect .
