Lilyhammer

How can you do yet another Mafia series? How can you top the Sopranos? - which couldn't even compete with itself after a few years.

Some of the best moments in the Sopranos were the ironies. Lillyhammer turns the Mafia theme completely into a dark comedy. Some of the lines are ROTFL hilarious.

There is of course the fish out of water - wise-guy meets the Von Trapp Singers - culture conflict element. This is not done to advance a political view, though some Americans not used to European viewpoints might not see it that way. In any case the juxtaposition of values is used to good comic effect.

I just wonder how long they can keep this up - most of the easy laughs are gone and the plotting last couple of episodes were pretty weak, even for a parody.

Still this streamed series is a lot of fun and better than much of the scripted TV nowadays.

I'm still waiting for Johnny to try lutefisk...

Great all around.

It's a great mini series. Happening in small town with Lovely twist. Writhing is smart and acting even better. Director has done great job and created smart comedy that is fun to watch and enjoy.

From the cast that has lot common with the The Norsemen, you can only expect something much fun to watch. The creators and the cast shown great job.

This mini series although not for everyone, every age group, for sure is not for low art-understanding crowd.

Highly recommend to watch this mini series although I am not a big fan of series unless they really worth watching.

Great production. Everyone did their job in the best possible way.

It's a damn shame that a show so well written is cancelled for a business decision. Suffice it to say, I laughed, I cried and I'd dispense Lilyhammer justice on anyone whose fault it was to take this charming show off the air. Shame!

Lilyhammer is such an underrated show. I can't believe that I put off watching this for so long because it's absolutely hilarious! I read all the good reviews and heard good things about it but I still put it off for some reason. If you're like me you keep telling yourself you'll watch it later...don't. You won't regret watching this!

Lilyhammer was so much better than I expected. This series is about a mobster (Steven Van Zandt) who made a deal to inform on his gang therefore has to go on the run so he loves to Norway. Most people know Van Zandt from his time in Sopranos but he quickly makes you care for this character. It's is a fun and warm hearted show that you'll want to binge as quick as possible. It balances both humor and drama as good as any show you'll see like this. It's not a show that you sign up for Netflix just to watch but if you already have then do yourself a favor and go watch it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a new show to binge.
