I saw the first season of this series like a year or 2 ago and it was nice enough that I had a fond memory of it. The plot, in short words, is that in modern Norway, Vikings from the past are somehow suddenly appearing and how both them and the local population need to adapt in order to live together.

The first season didn't provide us with any answer regarding why this accidental time travellings are taking place, and I can confirm you that this second season does have more information about this mystery.

Since the first season, the 2 main characters are going to be 2 police officers, a guy who is from this modern era, and a girl who arrived from the past. This new season will provides us with an important plot regarding one famous and historic serial murder. I have to say that I was about to stop watching the series during episode 2 due to how slow and boring this new season began, but in the second half, everything became very exciting once again. So have that in mind if you wanna give this series a watch.

Vi la primera temporada de esta serie como hace un año o 2 y fue lo suficientemente disfrutable como para tener un buen recuerdo de ella. La trama, en pocas palabras, es que en la Noruega moderna, los vikingos del pasado están apareciendo de alguna manera y tanto ellos como la población local necesitan adaptarse para vivir juntos.

La primera temporada no nos proporcionó ninguna respuesta sobre por qué se están produciendo estos viajes en el tiempo accidentales, y puedo confirmarles que esta segunda temporada tiene más información sobre este misterio.

Desde la primera temporada, los 2 personajes principales van a ser 2 policías, un chico que es de esta era moderna y una chica que llegó del pasado. Esta nueva temporada nos proporcionará una trama importante con respecto a un famoso e histórico asesinato en serie. Tengo que decir que estuve a punto de dejar de ver la serie durante el episodio 2 debido a lo lento y aburrido que comenzó esta nueva temporada, pero en la segunda mitad, todo se volvió muy emocionante una vez más. Así que tenlo en cuenta si quieres darle un vistazo a esta serie.

I recently began to watch this interesting Norwegian series from HBO and it was well worth the watch. The premise of the film is that suddenly, in the present, flashes of lights begin to appear in the sea, and seconds later people from different times are found in the water. Some of them deads, the majority are rescued while still alive.

The series reminded me of another one named The Crossing, where people also appeared out of nowhere, but instead of coming from the past, they were coming from the future. Some of them with evil plans for the present. In Beforeigners, there seems to be a conspiracy or something hidden going on, but the first season doesn't show much about this. There are glimpses about something bigger in scope.

The main characters are going to be 2 members of the police force. One is a regular officer and his partner is going to be a female warrior from centuries ago, specifically from the Viking era. Not all of the visitors from previous eras are civilized by the way. There are some that have been unable to adapt themselves to modern life and live as outcasts.

These 2 police officers will work together to investigate certain crimes related to visitors from other eras. They will slowly uncover a crime gang that is taking advantage of vulnerable visitors, and try to bring some justice but what frustrated me a little bit, was that the main topic of the series, which is clearly the sudden appearance of people from other ages, haven't been solved yet or at least properly explored.

With the exception of the first scene, the series' events take place almost 20 years after the first visitor appeared in the sea. And in all that time, nobody has still figured out why and how this is happening. People are still arriving after so many years and modern society has simply regarded this as an inexplicable and unavoidable phenomenon. Everything else continues as normal.

By the end of the season, there seemed to be some major macro movements in the plot beginning to take place, but after only 6 episodes I felt the story could have provided so much more. There obviously needs to be a second season, and the first one should have been longer and encompassing a more complex series of events.

I still recommend this series, especially if you have enjoyed The Crossing, or another series called Equinox, but maybe it would be better to wait for season 2 to be released and binge-watch them. This isn't a masterpiece like Dark or The Leftovers but it is a great second-tier series.

Too short. It should have had more episodes.
