Did anyone watch 'Lilyhammer' on Netflix?

[ok_cpu]

I know we're really, really late to the party, but we are 5-6 eps. in and enjoying it.

But, the seemingly nonsensical mix of Norwegian and English dialogue is driving me crazy. If the Norwegians can understand English and Little Steven can understand Norwegian, why don't they just pick one?

I suppose it might be to highlight the fish-out-ofwater thing, but it pulls me out of the story.

Am I the only one?

1. I thought it was hilarious.

I suppose they thought it made more sense for the Norwegians to speak Norwegian (especially the two goofballs who wrecked the sports car on the bridge); what was a little off was that Steven can understand it but not speak it, but that also makes sense because it's a language that's relatively easy to understand but more difficult to speak (I've been learning it for a few years and still find speaking it a bit tricky). It didn't bother me though. The series is a hoot.

4. It is really funny.

I'm glad we finally got around to watching it.

What you said makes sense. They made a point of showing him listening to language lessons the first couple of episodes.

2. I have it on my To-Watch list.

Looking forward to dedicating some time to it.

5. It's worth it.

Especially as a bridge between seasons of other shows.

3. I Watched Some Of Season One - Didn't Realize There Were Other Seasons

The concept of a NY gangster being transplanted in a Norwegian city was an interesting one but not enough to hold my interest for the entire season.

6. I'm anxious to see whether it holds up.

I believe it was not ok only the first show that Netflix produced, but also the first they ever canceled.

7. I enjoyed it

Season 2 went a different direction, but it was still fun to watch. Enjoy!

8. And it's Steve Van Zandt!

... Of the E Street Band (Springsteen).

And late of the Sopranos.

9. We loved it!!!

It just gets better. We use subtitles on everything and that was helpful.

We love fish out of water shows with quirky characters and absurd stories

It is a fun series and Steven Van Zant is awesome in it
