“A Storm for Christmas” Season 1 Recap and Ending Explained – “A Storm for Christmas” is a six-episode dramedy that is currently available on Netflix. It is set in the Oslo airport, where the first word in the title cancels all flights and may cause all passengers to miss the second noun. Although we’re only evaluating the first episode, creator and frequent Netflix contractee Per-Olav Sornesen (The Playlist, Quicksand) places a large cast of characters in light-to-medium-to-heavyweight situations, and it suggests being one of those multiple-intersecting-storyline narratives like love-it-or-hate-it perennially debated quasi-classic movie Love Actually. Nevertheless, it’s a TV show. Norwegian as well. And over three hours in length. So comparable—yet so different, in a way.
As we approach A Storm for Christmas‘ conclusion, there are several narrative aspects, so let’s discuss the most important ones.
