La isla del salmón y la discordia

The series portray salmon farmers on a fabled island closely depicted on one of the pioneer islands that developed the industry. In their quest for hegemony, family lines get crossed in trickery and deceit.

The first two episodes are somewhat slow, but they pick up rapidly with stunning scenery and local extras shining in their self irony and whit.

The acting gradually shows the multifaceted and shifting alliances on the island that actually boasts the highest average wealth in a Norwegian municipality.

Some of the scenes are priceless, especially one where a veteran actor has a cameo appearance during Halloween. The ending opens for a sequel.

I started watching this TV series without high expectations. At first it would seem like another one of those supposedly humorous Nordic series that quickly becomes boring, but after a while it became a very good surprise. The plot is not particularly new, but the approach is very fun and innovative. In some ways it feels like a mix of Sussectionion and Fargo. Good actors, beautiful landscapes and a typical Nordic and sarcastic humor to match. For many who are not used to Nordic series, the cultural differences may be strange and take some time to relate to.

Very good. I highly recommend it and I look forward to the second season.

I went in with low expectations but couldn't stop watching. The cinematography was beautiful and stunning, easily the best part of the show. The story itself was a typical family drama with infighting for control of a billion-dollar business, but the characters were compelling, and the twists kept coming. I enjoyed many of the story arcs, and for me, it explored a part of the world and industry I wasn't familiar with-Norwegian culture and the salmon industry, which added novelty. While the story seemed to conclude, I'm hoping for a sequel. Hope the series gets more viewers and we get an encore.

Well rating is over 6 on imdb right now but it will soon go down faster than a fat boy on a seesaw

No this is not a good tv show, its a story without material, its a comedy without humour and its a drama without ideas, its just nothing, there is situations where you actually believe something is going to happends but then its just fade out and nothing happends again

More drama than comedy, wich is a bit typical for all of these series, its just too little funny things and just too much of the boring things and it was too much people in the serie aswell, hard to remember who is who , no this is just not a good serie.

With a limited number of reviews here and the bulk of them negative I've got to weigh in. I thought this show was priceless. I loved it. Basically a Succession style take on a salmon farming business in Norway but done with a more satirical touch. It was clever, unique and thoroughly entertaining. I was fascinated by the subject of industrial salmon farming plus it made for a number of striking visual cinematic moments. The dynamics of various shifting factions of family members kept things dramatically up in the air. Lots of good minor character plot lines too. I mean, I just don't know what's not to love.
