Herman Flesvig thanks his girlfriend for television success – VG

Viewership figures from NRK’s ​​analysis show that more than 1.3 million watched the two episodes that have aired on linear TV in addition to NRK’s ​​online player.

The episodes that have not been shown on linear TV, but only on NRK TV, have between 789,000 viewers and 890,000 viewers.

– These are completely wild numbers that we are of course incredibly proud of, NRK Entertainment acting editor Christina Rezk Resar tells VG.

Herman Flesvig himself has taken to Instagram to express his gratitude:

We did very well again. I just have to thank you for an absolutely fantastic response, all the messages and comments are absolutely overwhelming. I have become nervous and it has given me a lot of fear ”, he writes, among other things.

He also takes the opportunity to thank the NRK team, and highlights director Erlend Westnes in particular, and concludes with his closest:

“I also want to thank my friends, family, manager and not least a wonderful boyfriend who always supports me when I live in a bubble with a lot of work, combined with periodic fetal position and nerves. Thank you very much! You keep me on my feet < 3 "

Flesvig has been careful not to talk too much about her boyfriend and hasn’t talked about who she is. This summer, however, she revealed that the two will be living together.

– Not often

Viewership figures are as follows (since the two pilot episodes are considered # 1 and # 2, this season begins with episode 3):

Episode 3: 1,354,000 seere

Episode 4: 1,306,000 seere

Episode 5: 890,000 viewers (NRK TV only)

Episode 6: 821,000 viewers (NRK TV only)

Episode 7: 789,000 viewers (NRK TV only)

NRK’s ​​chief analyst at Kristian Kristian Tolonen is clear that these are very good figures. But I’m not sure I can establish that it is a record.

– It’s hard to say, there are many ways to measure a record. But you can probably say that it’s not often that you see such large numbers so fast these days, whether it’s big sports, Eurovision or other events, Tolonen tells VG.

Additionally, the first two pilot episodes that were released before Christmas last year have been watched by 2,899,000 viewers and 2,821,000 viewers, respectively. This applies to both linear TV and NRK.

In the series, as is well known, the comedian Herman Flesvig plays various characters that he has created himself. Before Christmas last year, NRK TV put interest to the test with two pilot episodes of the new season of “The First Time Service.”

– Herman and the entire talented band in front of and behind the camera have worked incredibly hard to preserve and expand the universe of the pilot episodes. One of the best things is that they have managed to create complete characters that you care about. There is internal conflict and recognition in all of them. Then there will be humor with meaning, says Resar.

There was a record of viewers during a weekend with 370,000 and 335,000 visits respectively and all doubts were put aside: it was several episodes of.

And now all 12 are finished. Five new episodes have been released and thus seven episodes of “First Time Service” are now available on NRK TV. The last five will be published on Friday.

– Now we wanted to test the concept with the army as the setting – and the format in which we have used “Party Therapy” as a model. These are absolutely fantastic, hilarious viewing figures that go so well, Resar told VG regarding the two pilot episodes.

A war enthusiast, a spoiled Russian, a macho, and a confused East Oslo boy. Are these the ones who will protect Norway?

This is how NRK sells the new series and it is obviously a sale that works. The VG reviewer is also very satisfied. Based on the first seven episodes, he rolls the dice series five, and justifies it this way, among other things:

The success of the airing of the two pilot episodes of “The First Time Service” just before Christmas last year certainly caused the NRK system to give away the best credit card. The ten new episodes can be combined with tighter directing, clearer camera guidance, better light and sound, and tighter clips.

In a VG interview that was published this weekend, Herman Flesvig said he was stressed out before the premiere.

– It’s very scary. After it became a viewer record on NRK, I started with diapers. I get so nervous about it. We didn’t think it would take off at all, Flesvig said.

Flesvig has cast the cast for the new episodes. Several famous faces appear, including Kristofer Hivju and Bård Tufte Johansen.

Other famous actors like Mikkel Niva and Jonas Kinge Bergland say they have rarely had as much fun as filming “The First Time Service.”

– Every time Herman did something new to make laughter so loose throughout the gang. Do you know when people are tired of laughing spasms? This is how I experienced it, Niva told VG.
