Ok, I’m a couple of episodes into #Beforeigners and I’m finding it weird but interesting.

I’m especially fascinated by the premise that there are all these immigrants from the past showing up in modern day Norway (timeigrants, as it were) and how the country struggles to integrate them.

There’s a definite parallel with how migrant integration from ‘other’ countries is effecting Scandinavian countries which have historically been very homogenous, however the rub here is that time-migrants are from the same place, just a different time, so they share the same cultural heritage (albeit many of the arrives cultural norms and practices are foreign to the modern day Norwegians). And, the mysterious/supernatural nature of thier arrival is such that ‘just send them home’ isn’t a possibility.

This isn’t the main focus of the show, but I hope they play around with this idea some more.

I should have maybe tagged #RolandEmmerich too, but perhaps the disaster movie bit covers that.
