Norsemen is a Norwegian comedy television series about a group of Vikings living in the village of Norheim around the year 790.
The story covers the lives of Vikings in the village of Norheim, with their day-to-day mundanities and strifes presented to high comedic effect.
As the series progresses, disputes with neighbouring villages—such as a rival community led by the ruthless Jarl Varg—and the efforts of Roman slave Rufus to modernise and sophisticate Norheim's culture result in ongoing conflicts and dramas.
[10] Norwegian writer Marie Kleve praised the parody violence and how it reflects stories from our time while the characters are living in the Viking era.
"[12] The first season of Norsemen won the Gullruten award in 2017 for Best Comedy Show, and it was also nominated for Best Sound Production (Peter Clausen and Erling Rein).
