"‘Norsemen’ (Netflix) A deadpan spoof of bloody, bawdy historical-ish dramas like “Vikings” and “Game of Thrones,” the Norwegian “Norsemen” puts contemporary words and ideas in the mouths and brains of 8th-century marauders to hilarious effect. (A chieftain returning from a raid beats a newly captured slave, then sadly reflects on the limits of “fear-based leadership.”) There’s some Monty Python here and a lot of “The Office,” with Kare Conradi marvelous in the role of the Viking village’s pusillanimous Michael Scott."
