One night in the Norwegian city of Oslo, strange flashes of light illuminate the bay from below. And then suddenly, living, breathing, freaked-out humans pop up out of the water, gasping for air, and completely unaware of how they got there or why.
Flash-forward a few years, and these watery arrivals have become a nightly occurrence, delivering people from three distinct historical periods into the present. These one-way time travelers â Stone Age primitives, Vikings from the Middle Ages and Victorians from the late 1800s â have been mysteriously (and unwillingly) blasted into the 21st century in the Norwegian series âBeforeigners,â a production of HBO Europe that was added to the HBO Max streaming service without much fanfare last year.
