A nation more known for its Edm musicians than its indie web series is the home of a new workplace comedy. Jack Aubrey is the creator behind Treningssenteret (The Gym), a Norwegian sitcom set in a run-down gym.
The principal characters in Treningssenteret work at a fitness facility that, in the mythology of the show, has been ranked as Norway's worst. Though all of the employees carry their own quirks, they are all at the mercy of the domineering, ridiculous, and marvelously-mustachioed Thor Atle, portrayed by Thomas Aske Berg. Berg brings a decidedly Michael Scott-esque energy to his role, which allows many of Treningssenteret's jokes to translate well. The show is in Norwegian with English subtitles.
