For those with VPN, here's SVT:

Swedish public service television also has an educational branch, which is here:

I use comic books to teach my kids to read, I agree it ought to be a good option for foreign adults too.

On SVT I'd recommend Landet runt (Around the country), it shows a lot of feelgood stories from local news and is aimed at a broad audience, including kids and the elderly:

There's also a news program for kids I think could be a good option to learn from:

While I don't watch any of them myself, perhaps competition programs might work too:

SVT Play (app or web) is a very good resource, and it is mostly subtitled in Swedish, which helps a lot. From the UK (at any rate) it is pretty rare to find many of the shows with georestructions, I do not find many. It is worth trying it without a VPN first, as you might be able to save money.

As I mentioned above, NRK is not so great. Most of the content is geoblocked, and you need a norwegian digital ID to watch it outside of Norway (or at least, Skandinavia) without a VPN. They also regularly block VPN's, so as an example, Tunnelbear used to be fine (and gives a fairly generous free tier if you play the "invite friends and do some tasks" game), but last time I tried, it was no longer working with the NRK TV app.

There is also a short news episode for adults, but in easy Swedish.
