Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

j-murdoch862 So glad I tried this!! I don't normally go for subtitled shows, but you don't even notice as you're so gripped by the storyline!Brilliantly filmed, acted and scarily plausible. If you watch anything today, watch this & you'll be 18 episodes in and wanting more!!

dncorp The Nation of Norway creates Reliable Safe Thorium Nuclear Power (21st Century Generation 4), and offers this inexpensive Renewable Energy to the other Nations of the European Union, they Refuse.Norway then stops Polluting their Own Nation by Shutting Down the Norwegian Offshore Oil Rigs and Oil Production, enraged the European Union Nations convince the Russian Federation to Attack and Occupy Norway, take Control of Norway's Oil Rigs and Oil Production so that the European Union can get Oil again to burn.This TV Series points out the Events that are just starting at the European Union, as Germany has just Shut Down Most of their Own Built by the U.S. old 1960s to 1970s U.S. Designed Nuclear Reactors (Generation 1), so now they must get their Electricity from the Nation of France's Nuclear Power (Generation 3), and must rely on the Russian Federation for Heating Oil, Natural Gas, Benzin (Gasoline) leaving the Entire Nation of Germany hostage to the Russian Federation Economically and Politically. After U.S. President Obama lost the Centuries of Iraqis Oil to Iran and Iran's Allies the Russian Federation and the Chinese, and then lost the Libyan Oil to Iran after President Obama Overthrew U.S. Ally President Gaddaffi of Libya a U.S. Ally since 2006, the Alliance Agreement that All Libyan Oil be sold exclusively to the U.S. Ally European Nations Ended, the Nation of France now only has one source, France's Eni and Elf at Algeria or be like the other Nations of the European Union get all your Oil, Fuel, Natural Gas, from the Russian Federation that can cut you off at any time if you do not agree with the Russian Federation.PBS Documentary NOVA "The Nuclear Option" discusses the 21st Century Norwegian Thorium Nuclear Power as seen in this TV Series Occupied, as tested successfully for over 30 years after an experimental Liquid Metal Nuclear Reactor was designed and built by the U.S. during the 1950s.If any of you worked with N.A.T.O. and the E.U. before, this TV Series is on target as to how they would react and gang up, kick a Member Out, and then have somebody else do their dirty work, the U.S., the Russian Federation, the Chinese, the United Nations, U.A. (African Union), Arab League of Nations.Most of you are probably too young to know about N.A.T.O. Member France's previous Hostile Relationship to the Other N.A.T.O. Members, the U.S. and N.A.T.O. itself, with the Nation of France nearly Allying with the U.S.S.R. and Warsaw Pact Nations. This TV Series Occupied reflects this except all of the European Union Nations not just France.

Greg Helton The plot revolves around a supposed takeover of Norway's remote oil fields by the Russians as the behest of the EU. It is the beginning of a good story. In the abstract, the plot is good and shows how Russia uses its soft power in support of its military occupation. Unfortunately, the plot is stung together by meetings, official A meets with official B who walks out of that meeting into another meeting with official C. It is so tedious. The combination of bad acting and bad dialog makes every moment spent watching this show painful. The male lead, the secret agent, is one of about ten people who work for Norway's security agency and he is the only one who leaves the office. He is in every gunfight, he leads all the raids, he makes all the arrests, he does all the interrogations and single-handed, he does all the hostage rescues. So tedious. Many of us enjoy shows like 'The Night Manager', 'CSI', and 'Berlin Station' because they show realistic tradecraft but not this show. In most respects, this show is as bad as anything that has ever been produced.

fordmodelt Ford Critics seem to be getting hung up on the realism of the set up for this series. Is it realistic that Russia would undertake a 'soft' invasion of a small European country after critical energy production was stopped in response to climate change, and would NATO sit back and allow it to happen on their doorstep? Probably not, but that's not what this brilliant political thriller is really about. If a more powerful country invaded YOUR country, would you resist, would you keep your head down and try to 'get along' with the invaders if they kept promising to leave but didn't, what compromises would you make to try to avoid a full blown military invasion and loss of life. At what point would you decide that 'enough's enough'? When you see someone openly shot in the street by the occupiers? When free press is shut down? Vichy France, Russia's recent forays into the Ukraine and Hong Kong being handed back to China, all spring to mind. Viewers need to get over the likelihood or otherwise of the basic premise of this series, and just enjoy a really well written, well acted mini series that keeps you in a state of nervous suspense. One that makes you think about history, current world events and future possibilities. How far would you allow yourself to be pushed around before you decided to push back?
