Promising Norwegian miniseries on a troop in Afghanistan and complications on the home front

Three episodes in and the Norwegian miniseries Nobel seems to be moving along very well; it's well-paced and complicated and engaging, with a focus on a political crisis, this one involving a Norwegian platoon on duty in Afghanistan that gets tangled up in a fight with a local strongman leading to repercussions back in the Norwegian central government. It's a tangled web and frnakly, and perhaps intentionally, it's a little difficult to follow in the first episodes, as the style of the series seems to be to present dramatic action - e.g., a fight and a stabbing in an Oslo parking garage - without a lot of clarity as to who's involved or why, and then jumping to a flashback to what took place in Afghanistan a few months back, which will fill in some but not all of the pieces. Three episodes in I'm still not sure why it's called Nobel, though there are suggestions that the fight between the state department and military will will involved a detente operation underway to smooth relationships w/ China -leading to major Chinese investments in Norway - all of which could be derailed if the Nobel committee tilts toward a visiting Chinese dissident. Wow, a lot of threads to tie together - but fortunately the writing is clear and straightforward (oh those taciturn Scandinavians) and the main characters - Erling, the acting platoon leader now home on leave, and his wife, who is like a Chief of Staff to the Foreign Minister - are strong, well-delineated characters - facing major issues as their two agencies come into direct conflict. Definitely worth following this Netflix offering, and you can't help but think that it may lead to an American rewrite, as with Homeland, as the same forces could well be in play in a U.S. drama. (Also reminded me of the excellent Danish film about a troop on the front lines in Afghanistan, with no clear mission in sight.)
