The first episode of Beforeigners have 102 credited actors, 2 main and 100 guest cast! Never seen so much :)

Haha, good thing the whole thing is just 6 episodes then and that they're not adding the cast UK style that is the norm on norwegian shows.

They do actually :) The good thing is that there's only 2 main cast members. But the rest not so easy. It seems that they list all actors from all 6 episodes in a single block of credits, and just copied it from episode to episode. At least the first two episodes have exactly the same credits. I haven't watched it yet, but it seems highly improbable that both episodes share exactly the same cast of 102 actors :D. So a huge chunk of those names should be changed to "Credit only" somehow... :)

The networks just keep inventing a new ways to screw with us :D

lol, that is insane and almost impossible to check who needs the "credit only" tag :)

A lot of Scandinavian, Dutch and other European nations do credit like that. I'm sure if you added all 100 guest cast, probably around 50 were actually justified credits for that episode �

That's the type of info I find really interesting. Thanks tnt.
I wouldn't mind getting a list of stats to see a top 10 and by which countries. :)
