Valkyrien


Valkyrien is a 2017 Norwegian TV series first broadcast by NRK1. The series combines elements of the "Scandi noir" school of television with medical drama, crime drama and "a palpable sense of the paranoia induced by operating on the edges of society", drawing favorable comparisons with AMC's Breaking Bad.
It was named after the closed metro station Valkyrien in Oslo.
