Thanks for the heads up- just caught the last 40 minutes.

Awesome landscapes, nature and people.

I'm not sure why but I found episode one really disappointing. It didnt seem very engaging

I think it's Rebecca Ferguson's narration, it's quite wooden and lacks enthusiasm

Hollywood stars do not always guarantee success.

Watching it now, having recorded it earlier. Stunning scenery, and excellent cinematography. Drones have made filming barking mad Scandinavians jumping off vertical cliffs so much easier now.

And no, Satan will be hosting the Winter Olympics before anyone could persuade me to do that! 🤢

I would very much like to tour around Scandinavia, though.

The voiceover was horrific. Felt forced, slow and lacking charisma. I wondered if if was Emilia Fox at times!

I really enjoyed it. Superb camera work and nice to hear and see a part of the world I know little about.

It could be understated Scandi style narration?

To my ears it's poor

Really enjoyed it. I also liked Rebecca Ferguson's narration. This may be linked however to the fact i have quite a thing for her. So maybe the answer is for her to appear on screen every now and then. Cuddling a puffin or whatever.

I don’t think she’s wooden. I think it’s just the precise way she speaks, like Swedes do. It’s what makes Swedish (relatively) easy to understand.
