So, just watched season one of Okkupert.
Russians with the political support of the EU do a soft occupation of Norway, which turns violent.
The US has abandoned NATO and gone full isolationist, so Norway is all alone against Russia.
I thought it was going to be shit, but it was pretty damn great. And way more realistic than a lot of other "resistance fantasy" flicks.
>>29810308
Thanks for the tip. If I can find it, i'll definitely watch it.
>>29810469
I think Netflix has it in a lot of countries. Not sure about the US.
Just don't expect "Red Dawn; Europe edition". It's more of a political thriller than an action series.
Is this the one where a Scandinavian guy goes to smoke behind the restaurant his wife owns, starts up a conversation with a Russian who is also smoking, and the Russian thinks the Scandinavian guy is a spy?
I think I've seen like 15 minutes of this.
>>29810516
The Russian doesn't think he's a spy, he's just uncomfortable talking about his role in the Russian occupation while out drinking with friends.
>>29810308
Faggots you mean Russian liberation!
>>29810308
I am Russian and I approve this TV series.
>>29810516
Nothing wrong with that.
Has the second season dropped? Cant wait to see the Norwegian go full guerilla warfare on the Russians.
>>29810570
It's still in production.
I doubt it will be full guerilla warfare in the second season, as the Russkies haven't fully invaded Norway except for the most important administrative locations.
>>29810570
I highly doubt that a Scandinavian studio could make a full-guerrilla war show full of combat, explosions and stuff, due to: 1. limited budget, 2. whiney liberals.
>>29810722
Most of Europe loves hating Russia, what are you talking about?
If said country still has conscription because Russia then you can bet they will watch movies that hate on Russia.
>>29810722
It actually had breddy good production value.
And most of the negative reception came not from whiney liberals, but people who somehow thought it would be realistic that Norway suddenly turned Red Dawn overnight.
>>29810308
Too much politics.
>>29810308
>The US has abandoned NATO and gone full isolationist
Why?
If it's a stupid reason I'm already put off.
Id it's not explained at all, that's even worse.
>>29810308
I wish it was set in Poland or in Baltic so we could see real guerrilla warfare. Like back in 40s, Forest Brothers partisans in Baltics massacred entire villages populated by Russian colonists. Soviets manage to fully suppress them only in mid-50s.
>>29810824
Why is that stupid? We did it before and, if anything, we're more likely to go back to that than back to world police.
>>29810830
>Like back in 40s, Forest Brothers partisans in Baltics massacred entire villages populated by Russian colonists.
Nyet, Soviet Union was welcomed as liberators, everyone knows this.
>>29810824
It's exactly what will happen if Trump became President. He also like Putin very much.
>>29810308
As a Norwegian I was positively surprised by this series.
>>29810740
It's pretty anti EU too.
The EU are the bad guys making Russia use force against Norway.
The US is neutral, and just goes "fuck you, got mine".
>>29810837
People was dumb and think that common people will live better under communism. No one move a finger then soviets when soviets arrests anyone who speak about independence, even military didn't do shit. It's like today our goverment drag us into EU promising wealth, but instead half of the country permanently move to England.
>>29810830
>Like back in 40s, Forest Brothers partisans in Baltics massacred entire villages populated by Russian colonists. Soviets manage to fully suppress them only in mid-50s.
What? Those countries were peaceful, ask any Russian, look in any History book. Russia was welcomed.
People in Europe welcome this show as long as there's not too much violence, not too much heroism, and it features strong and independent women. If the show changes to a Scandinavian Red Dawn, I'm sure it will lose much of its audience. People will start complaining that the show has become too militaristic, too macho, women are reduced to the role of sidekicks and love interests, minorities are underrepresented, etc.
>>29810912
it lost a lot of audience BECAUSE it didn't turn out to be Norwegian Red Dawn.
It really is a political thriller, not a fucking eighties splosionfest.
>>29810308
What's /k/'s thoughts on last ship? I think its a pretty fun show but I feel skeptical for the 3rd season.
>>29810836
IF ITS a stupid reason.
I'm not saying it is, just asking what the reason is.
>>29810941
I've seen the series. It's pretty good over all, bUT it over emphasizes the role of energy in foreign policy. We leave NATO after achieving energy independence. We just don't need it any more.
>>29810933
Isn't that the show that spawned webmrelated?
>>29810824
>because being world police is totally cool and definetly not stress on economy
>>29810933
Watched episode one. Russians came in on pave lows if i remember correctly.
>>29810308
Considering the state of Nordic countries and their mass immigration, would anyone in Norway actually give a fuck if Russia invaded?
>>29810977
Considering the state of North American countries and their mass immigration, would anyone in the US actually give a fuck if Russia invaded?
>>29810880
Uh, that's patently bullshit. There was a lot of resentment that existed especially in the period immediately following the war because local guerrillas and anti-German movement leadership was heavily suppressed by the Soviets, leading many to be arrested and executed. Look up what happened to karel janoušek, Witold Pilecki, the leaders of the Polish Home Army, etc. Theres a reason there's a lot of resentment towards the memory of Russian occupation in Eastern Europe.
>>29810977
Norway is not Sweden.
>>29810996
2:40 or so

It's not like they'd make you speak Russian or anything.
Your capital is in fucking Belgium right now, whats the difference?
>>29811010
Norway is not part of the EU.
>>29810469

Actual what the fuck?
There's a danish documentary following a ship during a 2011 anti pirating campaign. Some of the usual tv editing shit but also some interesting footage. It's only youtube with english subs if anyone is interested.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gslYChaeVOY
>>29811104
Couldn't the Danes stick a dragons head on the front of their ships?
For old times sake.
>>29811066
The whole series is full of bullshit.
What do you guys think of 24 and Jack Bauer?
>>29811124
I like his daughter.
>>29811124
I managed to make it through the entire 2000s without seeing more than 2 minutes of that show.
>>29811113
Sadly I think no one wants to be that guy who suggests it.
>>29811138
This. The MTV adaptation was great tho.
>>29810824
American ideals are isolationists at heart with open hands for immigration to help make the country better but putting off the responsibility of being involved in international affairs.
Read a book.
>>29811152
>American ideals are isolationists at heart
Sure, 300 years ago brah.
>>29811167
More like 100 bruh, aside from the Monroe doctrine we didn't do much internationally until ww1
>>29811178
The whole period up until WW1 was one of some pretty heavy duty expansionism though, that's when we still had the Philippines and other such territories after we fought with Spain. One could argue that we benefited from isolationism as a result of such expansion.
>>29811178
>except for all the international meddling we did before WW1, which doesn't count...
>>29810824
To make TV show about Norway, not about US saving the day, dummkopf.
>>29810308
I dont think there is ever going to be a season 2. The show was absolutely slaughtered by the media for how bad it was, and the Russian embassy warned that racism like this might disoriented relations.
>>29810308
The idea "EU allow Russia invaded Norway" sound dumb is there any plot-twist here ?
>>29811244
I wont be surprised if some sinister shit is really brewing in the EU.

>>29811244
The plot was something along: norway refuses to supply oil because they have come up with some new form of energy that they want everyone to use instead, norwegian oil is vital to EU so they do some shady deals with russia to get russia to invade norways oilfields and capital so EU economy doesnt get fucked..
It would have been slightly more believable if France had done the invading part, or some other EU country with an actual military, but russia is fine too.
I've only watched like 2 episodes, seems entertaining but I dont have the time for it now.
>>29811326
>The plot was something along: norway refuses to supply oil because they have come up with some new form of energy that they want everyone to use instead, norwegian oil is vital to EU so they do some shady deals with russia to get russia to invade norways oilfields and capital so EU economy doesnt get fucked..
That's the most retarded plot since Clancy's "Debt of Honor"
>>29810977
Technically they dont invade but occupy the oil fields and restart the production that was halted for muh global warming.
>>29811445
>and restart the production that was halted for muh global warming.
Do people really think oil only gets made into petroleum?
Ultimate Force nigger
>>29810593
I am psyched to hear this I was convinced it was only going to be a one-season Wonder
> hopeful for pic related
>>29810824
Because it's set in the near future after Donald Trump wins.
>>29810970
You do. Silly mistakes but great show.
>>29811326
The only problem I have with it is that why would russia want to restart Norwegian oil production. They are direct competitors.
I love their use of false flag attacks though.
>>29811326
Sounds like the EU was justified tbch
>>29810824
>US becomes isolationist
>EU becomes little Russia
>Russia pulls the strings
>Now begins to fuck with Alaska
>Back to war
Such is life, every time we go isolationist
>>29812433
Perhaps Russian oil and gas simply cannot ever meet both domestic Russian demand and EU demand, and so Russia wants to stop the EU being forced to build its way out of using oil and gas, so it continues to have a market to sell into? Alternativly, it is simply looking for closer diplomatic and economic ties to the EU and undertakes the whole things as a sort of loss leader to further its longer range political ambitions.
>>29810933
I hope the 3rd season is the final one. Too many shows keep going after they've run out of story or dragging on too long.
You'll never get to operate with Tex to penetrate the American fuher bunker and rescue your doctor waifu. Why live?
Does anyone know what AK pattern rifle they're using in the show I think it's an AK 100 series but I'm not 100% sure I can't find anything on internet Firearms database either?
>>29810807
>Too much politics.
OK, Google "Steklov" then. And read the serious sites.
You are not gong to believe your own eyes. And that, my fiend, is how politics comes in.
>>29811244
>The idea "EU allow Russia invaded Norway" sound dumb
You are not in the EU, are you?
The EU is all about celebrating their own impotence. Just look back at the sorry affair of the Balkans war. EU was basically about empty threats that were later amped up with threats of more threats while allowing the massacre of Srebrenica.
EU will basically allow anything as long as leadership in Brussels can remain comfy. Norway is an important source of raw materials such as oil, gas, electricity, fish and timber but with the financial squeeze there is less need in the EU for such raw materials for another few years and EU is not about thinking long term.
>>29810308
Just finished the first episode.
Fun premise, but jesus fuck is the prime minister a pussy.
>Kidnapped by Russian hitmen
>Openly extorted by the EU and Swedish prime minister in person
>Spetsnaz teams seize Norwegian oil platforms
>hurr durr let the Russians in, nobody needs to die
I mean, I get they're in a no-win scenario, but Christ alive the lack of balls in the Norwegian government is painful to watch.
>>29813402
Just wait until the final scene of the season finale.
>>29813493
My body is ready.
>>29813508
>>29813493
You now have my attention.
>>29810562

>>29813604
My only fear is that the show won't have the budget to really do justice for an all out guerilla war. I don't need the show to be 50% action, because I enjoy the politics, but I do hope we get to see some real battles with more than a dozen dudes.
The drive-by on the Russian general was proof enough to me that the show CAN show proper TV operating. They just need the money to..
>>29813747
>Russian calling a country with higher standards of living iceniggers
That's rather rich.
>>29813885
We can hope, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed at this point.
>>29812248
How does she not freeze her toes
>>29813181
I'm pretty sure it's Arsenal 107. At least when Djupvik (one of main characters goes full on operator) Not sure if 47 or 74, prob 74. Gas tube and folding stock.
>>29813885
I think they used 90,000,000 Kr, which is roughly +/- 9million USD, with the exchange rate present at the time of production. This allows for some liberty, at least with street fighting etc, which is kinda what you're left with as a full mobilization at the season finale would be about as successfull as the one done on 9th of april 1940.
Also, the Norwegian state allows for a bunch of stipends etc in order to promote media production. (Just look at producers)
>Russian special forces capture the president using Vz 61s
That was the first "WTF".
>>29813402
Your pic is sort of taken out of context, the Punisher is making a comment that the police (the guy bleeding) made an accusation that the Punisher beat the snot out of some cops in order to get the police to crack down on him.
Frank basically just leaves after saying this.
I thought this show was great, recommended it to some friends who were confused about Ukraine. It's obviously not a strict analog for that situation, but I liked how it showed how a country that's outgunned and basically abandoned by allies has to deal with things politically. How weaker countries can be thrown to the wolves in the name of political expedience and larger global economic and political concerns, and how individuals negotiate that kind of a situation. The Norwegian president may seem like a pussy, but he didn't have a strong governing coalition- he's not a dictator, he can't just pull the trigger.
>>29810968
no navy man here but what the hell they would never get that close they be lit up like a christmas tree I mena hell aegis would scream and that dam thing carries neough VLS silos full of AA uint to solve this problem
>>29814234
Don't let the plot get in the way of a good reaction image.
Anyone know if/when season 2?
I enjoyed it
>>29814827
>weaker countries can be thrown to the wolves in the name of political expedience
During a US - Norwegian trade negotiation about 10 years ago members of the US delegation threatened with not honoring their NATO obligations in case of war. This was tough guy-speak but Russia saw it differently. US has probably forgotten all about it, others do not.
>>29815203
damn, this is something that could happen in the near future, with that trade deal the US and the EU is going for.
It's a deal that breaks with a lot of principles of Norway, so we should probably veto it.
>>29813493
>he watches tv or movies on his phone
oh wow time to end it all buddy
>>29814041
>I think they used 90,000,000 Kr, which is roughly +/- 9million USD
Per episode? Or for the entire series?
If that remains true we're pretty fucked. I bet we at least get to see some ambushes at least.
I tried looking for clips on youtube of the oper8r scenes in Occupied, but found none. Especially for that Russki assassination and maybe the ship breach. Any anons in here better at interneting than me? I'd be down to make some webm's.

considering the fact that like half of europe is closing down borders, yeah, the situation is worse than the media makes it look like. We might be saying good fucking bye to the schengen area and that might be the final nail in the coffin for the whole EU thing.
>>29811233
>Russia is triggered
>Russians are now a race
Oh wow, never thought I'd see vatniks go full SJW
What's that show /k/ talks about a lot, I always see webms of a couple dudes operating operationally. The ones I saw reminded me of Sicario
>>29813982

A lack of supply helps them. A surplus right now is why prices are so low and countries with a noticeable part of their economy based on oil exports are hurting.
>>29813991
Awesome
I cant find any close up pix but I'd have to agree
The boat scene where he operated operationally made me want one hard

hard to have guerillas when they all now have a perfect excuse to permanently get out of Poland/Baltics and live in Germany etc.
