Varg Veum was very popular in Norway and Sweden in the early 2010s. I was a Master's Degree student back then in Stockholm and many of my friends were obsessed with Nordic Noir which made me get obsessed with it as well. Varg Veum is not like Wallander, Beck, The Bridge (Bron), The Killing (Forbrydelsen), or The Millenium Franchise. He is most likely an anti-hero who usually messes up with police investigations. Trond Espen Seim is really a good actor but the real deal in this series is Bjorn Floberg some may remember him from the Insomnia movie with the legendary Stellan Skarsgard. Overall the first season is really good and fun to watch. However, the second season is not good, and there are unnecessary dialogues and plot holes. As a result, I recommend everyone to watch only the first season and not spend their time on the second season. The long and the short of it is that Varg Veum is not the best of the Nordic Noir but still is not the worst of it.
