Hellfjord Season 1 2012 A Norwegian TV mini series produced and directed by Tommy Wirkola. You might have seen his Red Snow films or Violent Night.
Zahid Ali plays Salmander, he's a horse mounted police officer in Oslo when the show starts. He makes a series of bad choices when his horse falls to the ground during a big parade. His boss is furious and Salmander gets fired. A law says Salamander has to be given 90s days notice. Rather than send Salmander home and waiting it out his boss sends him to the remote village of Hellfjord, a small town on a tiny island way up north.
There's not much there and most of the people are pretty old. The police station is in a house and Salmander sleeps in a cell until he moves to a weird old ladies house. Salmander and the local reporter meet and stumble onto a drug smuggling crime ring. There's some violence, some murdery bits and plenty of weirdness.
I enjoyed the heck out of it. It's short, quick and dead funny. Sad they didn't do some more. The baddie escapes so they could have had a second series.
