I recently saw a film about an art curator in Sweden ("The Square"?) that gave me a lot more insight into how that works. My experience in Japan also makes me aware of this sort of conflict avoidance (and my frustration with it), though it's still quite culturally different. It's more unnerving when done in English.
You might enjoy the film "The Square": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4995790/. Hilarious send-up of this BS. Try to avoid reading any spoilers, it'll be much better that way.
I lived very near to Denmark for a year and enjoyed quite a bit of Danish television as a result. Unfortunately I did not find too much good Danish comedy in English. Most of the Danish television I found enjoyable has been dramatic acting (including many of the tv series mentioned before in this thread such as The Rain, The Bridge, etc.).
If you are looking for more of a generic Scandinavian style of comedy I can definitely recommend Östlund films, especially The Square and Force Majeure. The former stars a Danish actor and both are quite good examples of Scandinavian comedies.
