    I'm baffled by any positive reviews of this show. I got through 2 episodes. I think it's the stupidest thing I've seen in a decade. Did he learn the language on the flight over? Is there really a woman on planet earth attracted to this guy? Is this supposed to be funny? Seriously, are you people watching a different show than I did? This is horrible.

    OK, first the "pro's": Love the premise and the setting. Still like Steve Van Zandt. Love the quirky writing and a chance to get to know Norwegian culture a little (I know--like watching the Sopranos helps me get to know American culture!). Cons: So far--and I went to the trouble to watch the first six episodes--the message of the series is--1)Think only of yourself and what you want..OK, first the "pro's": Love the premise and the setting.

I won't be watching the next season and if you haven't started watching, there are better ways to use your time. Not recommended.… Expand

    Lilyhammer splits the difference between lightness and the dark. [17 Feb 2012, p.63]

    Lilyhammer is an odd little series with potential.

    The Norwegians are the foreigners here, and Norway the foreign land. But that remoteness is part of the show's appeal.
