In the various years I lived in, or commuted to work in, Norway (1991-2008), I saw some of the earlier Nordic Noirs, and got to like the occasional Beck episodes that I managed to watch....but on Norwegian TV, no English subtitles, so my understanding was, at times, limited by my Norsk abilities.
As I'd started buying Nordic Noir sets a few years ago, I tried to find the Beck seasons, from the start. I was delighted to see BBC4 were going to show 'volume 1' & 'volume 2', but hadn't appreciated they began with episode 26, the last of the original 4th season. It took a bit of research & badgering old colleagues in Norway, but I finally got the full list of episodes & different box set releases.....but buying them was another challenge.
A combination of Norwegian Reg2/Pal sets & the recent BBC Vol1/2 Reg2/Pal sets covers from episode 17-34. However, the original episodes 1-16 are no longer available in Region 2 Pal format....any that might be found don't have english subtitles.
The only current way to buy & watch Seasons 1 & 2 (episodes 1-18) is the US-release sets, and for that you'll need a DVD/Bluray player that is multi-region for DVDs, and a TV that will handle NTSC picture standard. I have bought these 6 sets, and can confirm that they all play ok & have english subtitles....if you buy them from amazon or amazon 3rd party sellers.
There's a wee bit of overlap between the US/Nor/BBC sets, but I've listed below the full 34 episodes, split into the various box sets....I downloaded the original list from a Nordic source & edited it as I gradually tracked down all the DVDs. This has probably cost around £220, so no doubt someone will release a 'Complete Beck' box for under £100 very soon ;0)
