NAV - Season 1

Tor Varhaug is back after an almost perpetual leave from the Planning and Building Agency. Now he has taken the next step and got a new job at NAV. Here he is doing everything he can to do as little as possible, but his boss, Linda, is a master of delegation, and dumps a whole bunch of new tasks on our anti-hero.

Tor gets an unexpected visitor at his door. Rune has sent his nephew Ståle to help Tor renovate the house, and together with his partner Slobo, they demand their share of Tor. At the NAV office, Tor discovers how his boss Linda keeps her head above water.

Tor has a meeting with a user who constantly needs new aids. He is told to set boundaries – this could be a parasite. At the same time, he tries to understand the boss, Linda, and NAV's routines.

Tor's renovation project doesn't go quite according to plan and he has to move in with Rune for a while. Things get heated at the NAV office, and Tor and Rune can finally become proper colleagues.

Tor gets off to a bad start to the day and things don't get better after he gets to work. The coffee machine causes internal problems in the office, while Tor and Rune are put to the test when they have to represent NAV at the anniversary of the adapted company Normontasje.

The NAV office Tor works at comes out badly in a survey and Linda has to defend herself on local TV. Measures are taken to improve the reputation and Tor is given the responsibility of making shirts that will put the users in the spotlight. The shirts do not go down well with his colleague Rikard, nor with the users.

Rikard does everything he can to keep the systems at the NAV office up and running. When he discovers that Tor has accepted a gift from a family he is a caseworker for, he demands that Tor clean up after himself. Tor tries to do so, but not quite according to the rules.

Tor is tasked with increasing well-being at the NAV office, something that HSE manager Rikard is very skeptical about. Together with Rune, Tor starts a committee, but their initiative doesn't go over well with the rest of the employees.

Linda tries to appear in control, but when the NAV manager himself comes to visit, she once again hands over responsibility to Tor. The user days are brought forward and Tor is rushed to get everything ready for the important day.

The NAV office is visited by HR-Lasse, who is going to clean up the management. Tor is appointed as the new manager of the local office, much to Linda's relief. At the same time, the raging eczema reappears and Tor once again searches for escape routes.
