Heimebane

Although I have previously seen the topic of a female coach/manager been tackled (cough), by the British way back in 1989 ! in "The Manageress" with the always lovely Cherie Lunghi, it is safe to say that we haven't gotten much further in this development. Therefore this new Norwegian show is a welcome addition to the discussion of egalitarianism in sports management.

The female protagonist here is surely competent and well aware of all the pitfalls and opposition she faces during this first season. Personally I found the subplots involving her daughter a bit off, as if they couldn't really figure out what she wanted - which is probably realistic enough, but makes for bad storytelling. Also it is glaringly obvious that Jon Carew is a former player and not an actor :-), however most of the rest of the cast is really good and the location scenery is just beautiful. Norwegian fjords, I mean - come on... NRK (Norwegian PBS) is on a hot streak with their TV-shows these days - good on them.

Not a football fan but I truly like this drama series. Thrilling sports adventure, lot of drama and feelings. Young great actors and set in a fascinating beauty place.

Binge worthy Lovely Refreshing drama about sports, life , family and character Highly recommend!!!

Heimebane has just been shown in Australia and I really enjoyed each episode. I found one part of the musical score to be outstanding and I wonder how I can hear it again. There is a 20 second grab in one episode where the home crowd in the stands all hum the tune in saluting the efforts of the local team and I was instantly drawn to it . Alan - Sydney,Australia.

Where do you even learn to play like this? Her character is amazing, strong, credible, real and so human. I think this is one of the best tv series of course in line with Queen's Gambit and Godless. Just really good drama. I would love to see season 3 but I think 2 made it whole. Loved the last locker room speech. Ane is just plain great.
