Occupied is a tense and credible drama about an imagined Russian occupation of Norway

Been getting seriously into the Norwegian series Occupied, that posits a near-future situation in which a Green Party Prime Minister shuts down the entire oil and gas production in the country, an act that has consequences beyond Norway. The decision appears to upend the entire EU and leads almost immediately to Russian occupation of the offshore oil rigs and the resumption of production - and in effect a Russian occupation of Norway. The series focuses on the PM (caught between his ideals and a great deal of pressure of every sort from the Russian government), an intrepid reporter for a national newspaper or news magazine who uncovers a lot more about the occupation than the government is willing to admit, and one of the PM's bodyguards who gets drawn into playing the role of liaison between the Norwegian and Russian security forces. The drama unfolds carefully, each episode (have seen the first 3 of 10) representing a new month, but the pace of each episode is tense and energetic; it seems pretty accurate about the operation of the government and the management or mismanagement of the media, and the team builds a terrific tension, as the Russian occupiers are a truly cynical bunch. The series, unlike many, is entirely credible - doesn't take much, in our current political climate, to imagine a Russian occupation taking place in Norway, or elsewhere, without any opposition from the international community.
