Lillehammer (2012-2014)
TV Series of the Week
The ultimate fish-out-of-water saga.
The inimitable Steve van Zandt (of E Street Band and Sopranos fame) spends three TV seasons teaching the Norwegians to play Mafia. The Norwegians turn the tables by teaching Frank to play human being. If you crave snow, this will qualify as an overdose. If you don't, it's still a lot of snow.
So subtle and nuanced a story, so well and hilariously told.
And let us know what you’re thinking. We’ll respond to any and all comments.
Yes! And how often does it happen that a show gets through three seasons without losing its magic? Apparently, Van Zandt was willing to continue, but they just couldn't put it together. It did inspire us to spend a week in Oslo--in the summer!!!
One of the best shows and I was so disappointed when it ended!
