Slow TV, a form of documentary focused on ostensibly humdrum events, has gained traction for its meditative qualities. It empowers viewers to cultivate awareness of their thoughts and helps them detach from negativity.
The first documentary of its kind recorded an eight-hour railway journey from Oslo to Bergen, with a camera mounted on the front of the locomotive. It became a howling success, much to the astonishment of the network and has garnered the most views in Norwegian television history.
