TV Review "Kielergata": Double Norwegian Life – VG

He has a normal job at the local hospital, where it is worth mentioning Johan Rheborg (known to "Solsidan"; he will always be Percy Nilegaard for me) is his boss. Jonah does not have any intention of going up or down in the world. He is determined to live a boring life in Slusvik. It's annoying, that's fine, says Jonas.

The reason he believes that is because he has lived a very different life and a lot less boring. We do not know much about it yet, but we suspect that he was affiliated with some sort of crime syndicate and that it was in any case high enough for someone to get into a crime syndicate. worried about the need to fix a new identity. He had another chance in Slusvik, where he now lives as a witness protection program on the verge of being lost.

Seven years after arriving there, this new life may soon be over. A local sob – Jonas and he know each other well at meetings Alcoholics Anonymous – conducted a thorough background check of several of the resident residents and found that many of them claimed to be somebody else than them. This is most important for Jonah.

"Violence solves no problem," says Jonas to Sofie, who ended up fighting at the youth school. But we understand immediately that he is not able to live as he teaches. Once he knows his breath, Jonah does something dramatic. Then he starts drinking again. Worse Worse: The family cat remains on guard. Problem. And worse it will certainly be.

TV2's big television crime TV show this fall appears after two episodes in 45 minutes in a refreshing way, especially compared to the huge amount monochrome scandi crime who flew over our screens in recent years.

The violence is almost as ugly as the one we are used to. And the protagonist is after all judge a laundry psychopath, or at least terribly impulsive. "Kielergata" is also a story conveyed with a lot of humor (black). Yes, Jonas is even a protagonist, it is possible to feel something too – diagnosis or not.

Without sound, the series is not. Alcoholism – Jonah and others – is depicted with a broad brush and it is amazing how easy it is to carry a corpse of wild rind and into the woods (astonishing, d & # 39; as much as Slusvik is apparently such a small town where the farm animal accompanies behind every curtain, and some seem to really work a lot).

The use of glimpses of the past and "flashbacks" – which partly fill the background of Jonah and partly remind us that he has a conscience – can be a little too fit.

But the curious little town is well represented, especially via Sofie (the Fuglerud debutante, one of those eager camera teens like the Norwegian film and television is blessed by the day, proof that social media have been beneficial to society . Something).

Harr who has replaced a damaged Kristoffer Joner, is very solid as "both" Jonah: He has the courage to speak seriously with Sofie and to say "I love you" to the girlfriend, and the one whose smile shines from time to time shines badly . Mentioned must also Anneke von der Lippe, for the reason of a broad and credible inner Østfold dialect.

The first two episodes, which VG has seen, offer several possibilities. For example: Does it live more like Jonah in a small place? And the premise (a twist on "breaking Bad"And" The Sopranos ") promise good news for the series: how much should the protagonist be able to live in peace?
