Originally broadcast on Alibi, the ever-present Nicola Walker stars as a Norwegian marine detective up in Scotland. Not sure about her to-audience asides, they don't really fit, but the writing is reasonably humorous. Originally a radio series (where the fourth wall stuff probably worked better), written by Walker and starring Walker (who are not related).
With Jamie Sives, Silvie Furneaux, Katie Leung, Ukweli Roach, Kate Dickie.
I now know that salted licorice is a thing in Norway, and that Glasgow is on the River Clyde. And that Aeschylus wrote Agamemnon about a king who sacrificed his daughter to the Gods, and when he got home, his wife killed him.
