The series Varg Veum is actually pretty good and shot beautifully in and around Bergen, Norway. The character of Varg Veum reminded me of Jim Rockford from the Rockford Files in that he solves crimes brilliantly, but gets beat up, stabbed, shot, falls from a building and more. Veum's life is a mixed bag and it gets him in trouble with the law as well as women. Veum is a likable guy and the character development is pretty good throughout the series as is the writing. Not a bad show.
