Hellfjord
Created by Tommy Wirkola
On NRK1
A darkly comedic fish-out-of-water mystery where a disgraced urban cop uncovers sinister secrets in a remote Norwegian village, balancing absurdist humor with genuine unease.
"Hellfjord" is the story of the urban police officer Salmander - second generation Pakistani immigrant - who, after somewhat accidentally killing his police horse in front of thousands of children, gets relocated to the location farthest north in Norway: Hellfjord. Hellfjord is archetypical small Norwegian hick village, populated by simple-minded people keenly interested in keeping to themselves. But when Salmander scratches the surface, he discovers a secret that will turn Hellfjord upside down. Maybe even inside out.
