![]() The series is surrounded by a vivid and memorable cast of characters, aspiring pop musicians, a Caribbean-obsessed psychologist, death-haunted photographers, girls who dream of anonymous men falling in love with them on bus trips, and even Buzz Aldrin himself. Through Harstad’s “delectably light but nonetheless impactful prose (…) the novel’s finest moments wrap you up in communion with Mattias, as if you are spending a quiet afternoon with an old friend, chatting but mostly thinking” (extract by Three Percent). Mattias is a thirty-something gardener living in Stavanger, Norway, whose idol is Buzz Aldrin: the man who was willing to stand in Neil Armstrong’s shadow in order to work, diligently and humbly, for the success of the Apollo 11 mission. In Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to You in All the Confusion?, viewers follow Mattias, a man who wished not to be followed, a man who, after a series of personal and professional disasters, finds himself lying on a rain-soaked road in the desolate, treeless Faroe Islands, population only a few thousand, a wad of money in his pocket and no memory of how he had come to be there. ![]() ThorNews can strongly recommend this intelligent 4-episode Norwegian TV series based upon a novel by Johan Harstad.
