    Storyline

    Edit
    Frank Tagliano (Steven Van Zandt) is a former New York mobster who, after testifying in a trial in the United States, joins the witness-protection program. Intrigued by the place after watching the Winter Olympics in 1994, he is relocated to Lillehammer in Norway. The transition from being a feared and respected gangster in New York to becoming an unemployed immigrant in Norway, is not simple. Frank soon discovers that in order to succeed in this rural Norwegian society, he must resort to his old ways. —Anonymous

    • Goofs
      Although Norwegian police are issued firearms they are not carried during the normal course of duty. Their firearms are stored, locked, in their patrol cars and can only be removed with the permission of someone in authority (the local police chief for example). They are not, as shown in the show, routinely carried.

    Quite funny
    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...

    FAQ2

    • Why is this show's title misspelled?
    • Frank Tagliano/Johnny Henrikson is very similar to Steven Van Zandt's character Silvio Dante on "The Sopranos". Why couldn't this show just have been a spinoff of "The Sopranos"?
