Plot

The plot revolves around Karl Reverud, now a wealthy man, who has moved to Aker Brygge with his wife Agnes Marie and his butler Roy.[2]

Production

Shooting of Karl III started in 2008, and a total of 12 episodes was ordered for the first season. The first episode premiered on TV 2 on 23 February 2009. Unlike Mot i brøstet and Karl & Co, Karl III was filmed without a live audience.[2] The show was cancelled after its first season due to low ratings and negative reviews from both media and viewers.

Reception

The show was met with universally negative reviews, getting an average of 2 out of six stars. It was also slaughtered by the viewers in polls. Ultimately, along with low ratings, this led to the series' cancellation.

gollark: Really? I assumed you could just check Levenshtein distance from known viruses or something.
gollark: Can you somehow just sequence whatever DNA/RNA gets caught *automatically*?
