I have to give this 5 stars because of the TV series, but this is not the Blu-ray to buy if you need English subtitles. The subs are in French and German only. I don't speak or read either of those. I had to buy a different version with English subtitles. You need this one if you want English subtitles:
Occupied [Blu-ray
] That version says it includes an English dubbed track, but I hate dubbed audio and have not listened to it.
Whichever version you purchase, you need a Blu-ray player capable of playing the particular regions of these discs (neither are US regions). The solution is to make a digital version and play with a media player program.

Jo Nesbø, the Norwegian author, who is so very popular all over the world, has created a new TV series that is ground breaking. I was immediately drawn into this ten part series. The writing, the acting are so well done that it will soon find much acclaim. For those of us familiar with Jo Nesbo, this series more than lives up to his books.
In Norway, a new Prime Minister has been elected, he is a member of the Green movement and has declared all oil and gas reserves will be removed. The US has become independent and resigned from NATO, the EU is very unhappy with Norway's stance and has invited the Russians into Norway to smooth the regain of oil supplies from the North Sea. The reality of Russia in the Scandanavian countries is too real, and this series has caused much controversy. As time moves on a movement called Fritt Norg or 'Free Norway' is instituted,and now an unclaimed war has begun. The prime Minister tries to lead, his body guard turns out to be a perfect foil to meet with the Russians because they trust him. We meet a journalist who is looking for stories, and he and the Prime Minister lock horns at each turn. The journalists family plays a big part in this series, as does the family of the body guard. Intricate sideline stories with the Russian Minister who is a beautiful, intelligent blonde, the people of Norway, Fritt Norge, and the Russian military all play large in this series. This is an intelligent, exciting and nerve wracking series. I am encouraged enough to hope that Series 2 is in the works.
Highly Recommended. prisrob 01-24-16

Very Good Norwegian Series About The Russians Invading Norway After Norway Stops Producing Oil
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016
Occupied is a Norwegian made TV series, that is obviously mostly spoken in the Norwegian language (there is a bit of English since it is a common second language when communicating with Russians and other European countries), but you'll mostly be reading English subtitles. Based on an idea by popular novel author Jo Nesbo, and made by the people who made the original movies based on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo books, this is also according to the back of the DVD cover, the most expensive Norwegian TV show ever made. I'm pretty doubtful the last claim is true since this is a character based tension series rather than a huge special effects show, but this shows, you don't need special effects to make a great TV series.
With Occupied, basically in the near future Norway elects a Greens type of political party to govern, on their promise to take action against Climate Change which is having a huge detrimental impact on Norway. They decide to stop producing oil and tell the world short term pain from no oil will be better in the long run as it is forcing alternative energy research to be fast tracked and implemented, they even have their own discovery which they are exporting to the world. Civil wars in the Middle East have meant oil can no longer be sourced from there either. The European Union demands Norway put their oil rigs back online and imposes strict economic sanctions. Norway ignores these demands, so Russia with Sweden by its side does “the world a favour” by invading Norway and taking over the oil industry. It is not stated if the Russian oil fields are not viable anymore of if they just don't want to lose out on continuing to sell a now obsolete product and are really more concerned with stopping the alternative to oil from being produced. But the result is the Norway government publicly backflips on their policy and denies their country is being occupied, stating they are accepting Russian expertise to get their oil industry running again. The Norwegian citizens do not believe a word of it. Chechen and other refugees who fled Russian occupation in their own lands no longer feel safe in the streets of Oslo, and even Russian citizens themselves in Oslo are feeling the hate.
It's a simple concept for a TV show, but it just works. It obviously raises a lot of questions that can be applied to real world tensions in the world as well as politics and even Russia's current occupations of countries that don't want them there like the Ukraine, especially the Crimea region. One question raised would be what is the point of a small population country spending a lot of money having an army, airforce and navy, if you're not going to use them when invaded because you don't have a chance of winning against a much larger enemy? This TV is told from Norway's point of view, we don't really touch on the European Union side of things, where you would think there would be much opposition from Baltic countries, which were formerly occupied by Russia for years such as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Whereas this TV show it's pretty much just painted as the EU as a whole backs what the Russians are doing.
Unfortunately there aren't any extras on the region 4 DVDs, the episodes are divided over three discs, all up they go for 447 minutes (so just under seven and half hours). Obviously a bit less when you fast forward the opening and end credits of each episode, they also have the British TV show summing up what happened previously before the episode storyline starts as well.

Ein absolut unterschätztes Kleinod
Reviewed in Germany on January 19, 2017Verified Purchase
Bin von diesen 10 Teilen aber sowas von fasziniert. Klasse Wendungen und Verstrickungen - sehr gute Charaktere und alleine die Idee eines Landes ganz ohne Bündnispartner und wie es zum Spielball korrumpierter ausländischer Regierungen wird, die, wie ja auch in der Realität, von geldgeilen Konzernen gesteuert werden. Ich will hier nicht spoilern aber ich kann nur jedem raten, der auf spannende Unterhaltung steht - zugreifen. Sieht man über die ein oder andere logische Schwäche im Skript weg (ich sage nur die Fernglasszene im 10. Teil!!!) wird der werte Zuschauer aufs beste vor den TV gebannt sitzenbleiben und zudem hat der letzte Teil auch noch einen überragenden Cliffhanger, der auf mehr hoffen läßt
P.S.

Inhaltsangaben gibt es im Netz. Das ist gutes Handwerk bis in die Details. Gute Schauspieler - gerade auch die ganz jungen Leute und Kinder sind hochwertig besetzt. Was Diversität angeht ist das richtig gelungen - mühelos und selbstverständlich.
Ich dachte erst die Gardeuniformen wären die Idee eines böswilligen Pazifisten. Nein, die sind in Norwegen so.
Und Spannend - natürlich!!!!

Glaubhafte Story: So ähnlich wird es mit ganz Europa kommen: Die Unterwerfung - nur anders
Reviewed in Germany on November 10, 2019Verified Purchase
Sehr gute Science-Fiction story, die durchaus nicht realitätsfremd ist. Die Spannung wird immer hoch gehalten, uns zwar auch deshalb, weil es genau so kommen könnte. Es wird kaum geschossen, es fließt kein Blut, sondern die Konflikte spielen sich ganz subtil und langsam ab. Wenn man den Staat Russland ersetzt durch aktuelle Vorgänge in Deutschland, sieht man, wie die Entwicklung ablaufen könnte: Unterwanderung. Dazu vielleicht noch das Buch „die Unterwerfung„ von Holbequ lesen.

pensaba recibir una version BluRay y recibi DVD "normales" La serie es excelente pero como en demasiadas ocasiones las caracteristicas exactas o no aparecen claramente, o no son respetadas. Peor todavia...es un problema recurrente Y cuando veo hoy que aparece la version BluRay a un precio inferior al de la version DVD es obvio que sigue el problema ....

Einfach genial durchdacht und beeindruckend aktuell. Spannend bis zur letzten Minute. Die Schauspieler sind hervorragend und angenehm natürlich. Die ganze Story ist in sich schlüssig und könnte so heute passieren. Ich habe es mir gleich zweimal angeschaut. Sehr zu empfehlen für alle, die Filme mit Verstand bevorzugen.
