Season 1

Beforeigners (2019), Season 1 is a Norwegian sci-fi crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — six episodes that open with light flaring out of the sea and strangers from long-dead eras washing ashore.

They arrive from three time periods: the Stone Age, the Viking age, and the late 1800s. Nobody knows how, and nobody can go back. A couple of years on, Oslo has half-absorbed them — these "beforeigners" hunt for housing, work, and a foothold in a century that isn't theirs. Then a murdered woman from the past floats up at Tjuvholmen. The case falls to two mismatched investigators: Lars Haaland, a burned-out detective, and his new partner Alfhildr, a warrior pulled forward from the Viking Age. Their hunt drags them through the city's multi-temporal underground, toward a Stone Age tycoon and the secret behind the arrivals themselves.

Created by Eirik Svensson with writers steeped in Nordic noir, the show smuggles sharp satire about migration and integration inside its police plot. The pairing of leads and the lived-in worldbuilding carry it. One for fans of smart Scandinavian genre TV. Stream Beforeigners Season 1 online on iFILM.
