Netflix Norweigan angtsy teen series Ragnarok doesn't live up to its title

The A.V. Club

"Turns out, the outsized emotional states of teens actually perfectly mirror the larger-than-life concerns of Norse legend, something Thor: Ragnarok expressed by making the Hulk essentially a big green adolescent," says Alex McLevy of the six-episode series. "Still, the comics giant needn’t worry: Nothing about the show challenges Marvel’s mantle as keeper of the most entertaining story with this particular title. It moves quickly, but Ragnarok’s biggest problem is that it keeps stumbling into Twilight-style storytelling, alternating dour and portentous drama with unintentionally comical interludes. This is never more apparent than halfway through the second episode, when the teens of the small rural town of Edda, Norway come together at a school dance."
