    Catching a long train ride through the countryside is relaxing, and offers endless bouts of varying scenery as you slowly pass by. Slowly.

    But then the Norwegians started Slow TV.

    In 2011, the country broadcasted an entire ship voyage for 134 continuous hours. While you can watch the whole voyage somewhere online, you can also watch a mere 37-minute time lapse if you haven’t got five days to spare. According to Kotteke:

    As the show progressed and the ratings climbed (half of the Norwegian population tuned in at some point), the show became an interactive event, with people meeting the ship along to coast in order to appear as extras in the cast. Some even followed in smaller boats, filming as they went along in the ship’s wake.

    Watch as much as you can, here:

    Described as “the uninterrupted broadcast of an ordinary event from start to finish”, Slow TV has now made its way to Netflix – and much of the content has been curated from original Norwegian series.

    Here’s the complete roster:

    National Firewood Evening
    National Firewood Morning
    National Firewood Night
    National Knitting Evening
    National Knitting Morning
    National Knitting Night
    Northern Passage
    Northern Railway
    Salmon Fishing
    The Telemark Canal
    Train Ride Bergen to Oslo

    The last one, ‘Train Ride Bergen to Oslo’, can be seen below – and it’s actually really interesting if the change of landscapes is something that appeals to you.

    Yeah, I am not too sure about it either.
