Aber Bergen (2016)

From IMDB:

Aber Bergen is an entertaining courtroom drama about the recently separated , but for the time being professional partners, Erik Aber and Elea Bergen. They are two of the country’s sharpest defense attorneys, who together with an unorthodox team lawyers have built up a reputable law firm, where they attempt to balance professional and private as they are thrown between moral, political and legal dilemmas.

From MHz Choice you can stream 3 seasons of this Norwegian character-driven legal drama. Seasons 1 and 2 offer 11 episodes. Season 3 offers 10 episodes. Each of the 32 episodes are a bit less than 45 minutes. In Norwegian with English subtitles.

Trying to list categories for this series is too difficult a task because the long collection of law cases touch on so many aspects of human interaction.  What makes this series memorable is the variety of personalities and how they interact (read that: fight, fall in love, have sex, sue one another, threaten, etc.) No subject thread is boring.

Consider some of the characters. It is clear that Aber and Elea are a close couple that just cannot agree enough to live together. Aber’s best friend and fellow lawyer is blind with a sensitive sense of hearing and smell. Elea’s father is an unscrupulous lawyer in his own firm. There are more than enough “bad guys” to go around including corrupt public figures and law officers. Some characters develop serious illnesses.

Because I had to wait for a new episode of season 3 to arrive each Tuesday, I could not binge-watch. But the wait is over and you can now race through all 3 seasons. Have fun!
