Wasn’t that whole Kon Tiki book/movie about this discussion. That Vikings somehow made it all the way to the Pacific Islands via the Americas?
Highly recommend reading the book Kontiki (or watch the movie) for the incredible story of Thor Heyerdahl demonstrating that sailing on a raft from South America to Polynesia is possible and a theory that now seems even more likely with the current DNA evidence.

Thank you for the recommendation. There’s also the excellent movie Kon Tiki (2017) about the famous Norwegian team that replicated the “backwards” journey from South America to Polynesia following WWII.
I think you'll find a bunch of stuff on the pirate bay. Off the top of my head I can think of these Scandinavian shows and movies that are all at least decent if not great:
Trollhunter // The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (trilogy) // Let the Right One In // Cold Prey [Fritt Vilt] (trilogy) // The Bridge [Bron/Broen] 2 seasons // The Killing [Forbrydelsen] 3 seasons // Kon-Tiki // Dead Snow // Headhunters // Easy Money [Snabba Cash] // Norwegian Ninja
Amazingly enough they also got an Oscar for the documentary about the kon tiki expedition. Preventing Hitler to get a nuclear bomb first, was not bad either.
