Maniac: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Is it better to escape from reality than to awaken from the dream? In reality, Espen is admitted to a locked psychiatric ward, but has chosen to interpret his reality through a fantastic fantasy world. In this fantasy he goes on an adventure with fantasy friend, Håkon, and Espen has made it his life's mission to make Håkon as successful as himself; with nice cars, hot women and beer from the bathroom tap.
