Valkyrien is a Norwegian television show that premiered in 2017. It tells the story of a physician, Ravn (played by Sven Nordin), whose life is turned upside down when his wife is diagnosed with a terminal illness. In his desperation, Ravn turns to an old friend named Leif (played by PÃ¥l Sverre Hagen) who has been operating an underground clinic in an abandoned bunker beneath Oslo for years. Together, they create a secret clinic where patients can receive the care they need without fear of being discovered.

As the story progresses, the complexity of the underground clinic deepens. Leif has amassed a team of misfits who are all in various stages of running away from their lives. There is the ex-cop who was fired for being a whistleblower, a young drug addict whose life was saved by Leif, and an immigrant who was forced into sex work to make ends meet. Each of them has a unique skill set that makes them a valuable member of the team, and they all share a deep bond born from a need to keep each other safe.

Valkyrien is a tense and compelling drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Ravn's struggle to keep his clinic secret puts him in constant danger of being caught by the authorities or by the ruthless criminals whose help he needs to keep his operation running. The tension is palpable and a sense of unease is present throughout the entire series.

One of the most interesting aspects of the show is the exploration of the moral quandaries faced by the characters. Is it ethical to provide medical care to criminals and other unsavory characters? Is it right to deny care to those who need it most because of their status in society? These are the kinds of questions that the show tackles in a nuanced and thought-provoking way.

The acting in Valkyrien is top-notch. Sven Nordin gives an incredible performance as Ravn, a man who is struggling with his own grief while trying to navigate a dangerous world. PÃ¥l Sverre Hagen is equally impressive as Leif, a man who has created a new life for himself in the underground clinic but is haunted by his past mistakes. The supporting cast is equally strong, with each actor bringing depth and complexity to their characters.

Visually, Valkyrien is stunning. The abandoned bunker where the clinic is located is a character in its own right, with its dark tunnels and ominous atmosphere providing the perfect backdrop for the drama that unfolds. The cinematography is beautiful, with sweeping shots of Oslo and breathtaking close-ups that capture the intensity of the characters' emotions.

Overall, Valkyrien is a must-watch for fans of tense dramas that explore complex moral issues. The show is expertly crafted, with incredible acting, stunning visuals, and a story that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Whether you're a fan of Nordic noir or just love a good thriller, Valkyrien is a show that is not to be missed.
