The Norwegian crime series Monster has been picked up around the world, the Nordisk Film & TV Fond reports.

The series stars Norwegian actor Jakob Oftebro as Joel Dreyer, an opportunistic career hunter and special investigator who is sent to northern Norway to solve a murder case. In the new environment, he finds himself like a fish out of water, and his arrogance and lack of social skills lead him to make some fatal mistakes. Monster is a character-driven drama that blends elements of spirituality and brutality in a world where nature is ruthless.

Monster was created by head-writer Hans Christian Storrøsten and director Anne Sewitsky (Happy, Happy), with Jørgen Johansson (The Bridge, Borgen) as lead cinematographer.

Starz in the US has picked up the series, and now the series has also been picked up by Canal Plus in France, SBS in Australia, Viacom’s new Russian channel Spike, Lumiere in Benelux, and Viaplay for Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, making it the first NRK drama acquisition for the Nordic streaming platform.

Monster will air on the Scandinavian channels NRK, DR and SVT in October. The series just won the European Script Award.

Pick of the day: Monster, SBS On Demand.

There is something remarkable about a series so visually unprepossessing, but which nonetheless successfully seduces its audience. Monster is the latest and one of the most hypnotic Nordic-noir series to arrive on SBS On Demand.

Set in northern Norway, Monster centres on Hedda, played by Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes. Hedda had moved south to pursue a career as a policewoman, but has returned home to care for her ailing father. While she is relatively unglamorous, the town and the former school friends she left behind are decidedly dowdy. Life here is grey and monotonous.

The series begins with a trio of young girls playing a macabre game with a firearm.

Later, one of them, Tyra Lind, goes missing, with suggestions of supernatural or religious involvement. When a second individual turns up with a fatal neck wound, the investigation ratchets up.

Enter Hedda’s new partner, Joel (Jakob Oftebro). An arrogant and dismissive southerner, Joel was raised in Africa by his Christian missionary parents. He is also not averse to literally twisting arms and, we come to suspect, taking drugs.

As the investigation proceeds, Hedda and Joel will have to come to terms with each other, as clues emerge that Hedda’s missing mother may have been murdered 30 years ago in connection with these events.

There are some wonderful scenes featuring the local bar’s Russian lounge singer and the local underground drug labs, plus the facial expressions of Hedda’s wholly inscrutable boss.

I am catching up on previous episodes of Monster on Starz. I'd never seen Jakob Oftebro in anything before. He is so fucking hot I get a boner watching him.

The show is suspenseful and well written. The scenery is stark and foreboding which adds another dimension to the depth of the story.

Well acted, well directed and the cast seem to click as if in real life.

I won't miss another episode ...

I'd give it 8 out of 10 boners ... I mean Starz.

I expect it will soon show up on All4 (the on-demand streaming service of Channel4, here in UK} - that's were I've been getting my recent fix of Scani-Noir; French; German and Czech TV shows. Interesting that it looks like it's being sold overseas under the title "Monsters", the IMDB details it as a.k.a. "Mord i vildmarken/ Murder in the Wilderness. I hope they don't upload it too soon as I still have 3 episodes of the german series "Mind of a Murderer; all episodes if the Swedish Rebecka Martinson series. the last half of the wacko Czech series Invisibles about the Nix who are a humanoid race who can breath underwater and all of "The Lens" from Czech Republic ​

Krypton. An interesting concept about Superman's home planet years before he was born. Showing a caste system and undemocratic rule.
