Beforeigners is a Norwegian television series that premiered on 21 August 2019. It is the first Norwegian-language series produced by HBO Europe. The show was created and written by Eilif Skodvin and Anne Bjørnstad, directed by Jens Lien, and produced by Rubicon TV AS. The series concerns the titular "beforeigners", people from different time periods who suddenly appear in the present, and their integration into 21st-century Norway.[1] The protagonists are Lars (Nicolai Cleve Broch), an Oslo police detective, and Alfhildr (Krista Kosonen), a Viking-era recruit, who investigate the murder of a Stone Ager.[1] In September 2020, HBO confirmed that the series had been renewed for a second season.[2][3] It started broadcasting on HBO Max in Europe on 5 December 2021.[4][5] In the United States, season 2 launched on 23 December 2021.[6]

Plot[]

Season 1[]

Beforeigners season 1 takes place in Oslo, where sudden flashes of light appear in the bay in Bjørvika. People from different time periods—the Stone Age, Viking Age, and the 19th century—suddenly appear in the present. Police officer Lars Haaland meets the first "time migrants", who speak Old Norse.

A few years later, the so-called "Beforeigners" struggle to integrate into modern Norwegian society. Some 19th-century individuals found work as journalists, office workers, and teachers, while most of the old Norse folk are homeless and sleep in parks. The Stone-Agers mainly live at the fringes and in forests. Some modern Norwegians perceive these "refugees" as a drain on society.[7]

Lars now lives alone, having shared custody of his 17-year-old daughter, Ingrid, while his ex-wife, Marie lives as a neo-Victorian with her 19th-century husband, Gregers. Lars is addicted to temproxate, or "time drops", a strong sedative prescribed to newcomers—otherwise illegal. He quarrels with Marie over Ingrid when their daughter wants to go Russefeiring, a traditional celebration at Norwegian high schools. More time migrants continue to appear in the harbor on a daily basis (over 13,000 new arrivals per year). The government claims time migration only occurs from the past.

A woman with Stone-Age tattoos and rotten teeth is found dead on a beach and Lars is put in charge of the investigation. He is partnered with a first-day cop, Alfhildr Enginnsdóttir (Krista Kosonen), a Viking-era woman from the 11th century. She is the first police officer with a "multi-temporal background", but is shunned by most of her colleagues, who consider her unfit for the job and only a PR stunt by management. Lars and Alfhildr gradually get used to working together, though they have occasional run-ins and disagreements.[8]

The dead woman's autopsy reveals that she was strangled, and she has odd cross-hatches on her back. A young girl reports she saw a "green sea monster with glowing eyes" seize the dead woman. As the investigation continues, a Stone-Ager, Navn, becomes a suspect. A second autopsy reveals the dead girl is not from the past but rather a contemporary Norwegian. A new trend occurs, where "wannabe time-migrants" shed their 21st-century identities and live as Beforeigners. The murdered woman is identified as the German-born Mariana Werner, a neo-Luddite who opposes modern technology.

Throughout the series, Alfhildr has momentary flashbacks to her Viking past. She is revealed to have been a shield-maiden and not a farmer's wife, as she had declared in order to attend the police academy. In her free time, she seeks her former commander, Thorir Hund. She reunites with fellow shield-maiden Urðr Sighvatsdóttir, who introduces her to the Viking-era community. They track down Thorir, now named "Tommy Henriksen", who has no memory of his past. Alfhildr and Urðr are convinced he is Thorir, who slew Olaf the Stout. An attack by an individual who is a follower of Olaf triggers memories in Thorir, and he seeks answers. Alfhildr dates a corrupt harbor cop, Jeppe.

Meanwhile, Ingrid and her friends go Russefeiring to fake a time migration. One of them, Maddie, is high on temproxate, which she stole from Lars. As she jumps into the water, a time flash simultaneously disgorges more migrants. Maddie is suddenly older, with rotten teeth and visions of the past. The girls are quarantined. Maddie suffers an identity crisis and begins praying devoutly. Towards the end of the season, Maddie journeys to an ancient church and digs up a sword and crucifix. She is met by a Christian Viking, Olaf.

Thorir remembers rescuing Alfhildr as a young girl wearing a modern life jacket while on his Viking boat, indicating that time migration is possible in both directions.

Season 2[]

Season 2 of Beforeigners has Lars and Alfhildr investigate a brutal murder in Oslo, with ties to Jack the Ripper.[9][10] Two fake UK police consultants arrive and confirm the link to Ripper murders. Lars contacts actual London police officers, Precious and Henry, who deny any such connection.[11] Lars is distracted when Ingrid becomes pregnant with Sturla's baby.[3][12] Sturla threatens to kill Ingrid if she aborts.

A recent time migrant claiming to be Olaf Haraldsson says he did not die at the Battle of Stiklestad.[12] Thorir is arrested for stealing Magnus the Good's skull. Olaf uses DNA from Magnus' skull to try to confirm his identity. A Viking-era völva has knowledge of Alfhildr's background and her importance to Olaf's quest to reclaim his throne as King of Norway.[3] Alfhildr is tested for temporal sleep disorder (TSD) after experiencing persistent sleepwalking. Lars and Alfhildr find one of the fake UK visitors is Isaac Ben Joseph, who was in both London and then Oslo at the time of recent mutilation murders. Lars finds Isaac's book was written by John Roberts, a theoretical physicist. Both Isaac and UK police search for three women who "time-migrated" from Victorian-era London to Oslo.

Production[]

After creating the show Lilyhammer, Anne Bjørnstad and Eilif Skodvin decided to explore science fiction ideas. Skodvin suggested the core concept of "refugees arriving not from a different location but from different times". The story was built around the concept, with two main characters, Lars and Alfhildr, chosen early on. The creators were inspired by shows including True Love, District 9, and the story itself was influenced by The Leftovers and sci-fi classics such as Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four.[18]

Bjørnstad and Skodvin hired linguists for the actors. Julian Kirkeby Lysvik provided the Stone Agers' language, Alexander Kristoffersen Lykke translated Old Norwegian for Viking speech, and André Nilsson Dannevig tackled the 19th-century version of Norwegian.[19] Finnish actress Krista Kosonen had to learn Norwegian and Old Norse for her role.[18] Filming took place in Oslo and Lithuania.[18]

Season 2 began filming in October 2020, with NOK 22 million in funding from a film and television incentive scheme.[4] Production was delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions and shutdowns in Oslo.[4] Bjørnstad and Skodvin returned as script writers and Lien as director with HBO Nordic replaced by HBO Max.[4]

Reception[]

Nina Metz of Chicago Tribune rated the show as three-out-of-four and explained, "A sci-fi buddy cop series, the show pairs a grizzled detective [Broch] with an eager-to-impress Viking warrior [Kosonen]... Though structured as a crime drama, the show has a wonderfully dry sense of humor, and there's something intriguing in the idea of people from different eras jostled together, some adapting better than others. The metaphors relating to racism and xenophobia and a host of other bigotries are obvious."[1] Pajba's Dustin Rowles wrote, "It's a solid crime drama with a neat, high-concept premise, and some fantastic performances (again, especially that of Kosonen). If you have a few hours and love murder shows, time travel, commentary on immigration, and even a touch of Scandinavian history, Beforeigners is an addictive binge."[20] Tor Aavatsmark of Lyd & Billede found the show "focusing on the uniqueness and originality of the fact that a whole bunch of people from the Stone Age, Viking Age and 19th century suddenly find their way into today's Scandinavian welfare state – with all the challenges, cultural conflicts and overtly comic situations that this entails."[11] The show was nominated for Best Drama Series at the Gullruten 2020 awards,[21] thus becoming the first HBO production to be nominated for a Gullruten award. At the in September 2020, the series was nominated for Best Norwegian Drama, while Krista Kosonen received a nomination for Best Actress in a Norwegian Series.[22]

Aavatsmark expressed that season 2 is "far less funny than season 1, and the comedy that remains rarely causes the laughter muscles to move. The fact that Olav the Holy in the present ends up as a narcissistic cocaine junkie seems more sought after than funny."[11] Furthermore, "production seems so cheap... [its] special effects are under criticism. Just look at the weird artificial filter laid over Oslo's skyline to make it look worn and dirty, or the ball whizzing through the air in slow motion. It's on the edge of the amateurish."[11] Whereas, Mia Carlsen of Serienytt, found that "[it] gives the impression that the series holds on to its charming narrative style and is true to its characters. Everything and everyone seems to be the same as when the series left us... but with darker undertones than last time. Either way, it's good to be back in dystopian Oslo. At least we're ready for some answers."[23] Carlsen praised the series creators, Bjørnstad and Skodvin, who have "put a lot of effort into creating a full-fledged experience of what is happening in Oslo and elsewhere in the world. I don't think we're ever going to fully understand or appreciate how amazing this is done, from language to costumes to food to norms to behavior and religions."[23]
