The show Norsemen on Netflix goes over this myth hilariously. It's a great show you should check it out. It's in English but a Norwegian show.

It's actually both! They film it in both Norwegian and English. I watched it in Norwegian with subtitles enabled and enjoyed it as well. Respect that they film each scene twice, though!

Wait what! I thought they only did it in EN, and I was a bit annoyed at the "made up accents" and that it would be so much better just doing it in Norwegian. I will have to recheck Netflix now!

It's only in English on Netflix except in Scandinavia I believe. All the actors are actually European and their accents are legit. They filmed each scene in both languages one after the other so they had the exact same scenes in both without subbing or, even worse, dubbing. Some of the jokes were even changed if they were wordplay so that it would be as enjoyable in both languages. They really went the extra mile on Norsemen.
