I loved “Lilyhammer”….. absolutely everything about it. I feel like his character was more like him then what you. The gentle kindness, & that beautiful humble smile he flashes when he’d receive appreciation. There’s a shy side to him & a huge heart. The dry comedy was done really well & his acting was outstanding 💖

Very norwegian humor, mostly circling around “humorous” jabs about how square and nordic norwegians are. For some reason this pseudo-self-supposed-irony seems to be a funny thing for norwegians – “look how silly we are (while everyone of course knows we are the best, in reality)” – it features as the carrying trait of many norwegian series. But for anyone else, it really gets old pretty fast. Little S plays his role good, and the actors are pretty decent – but to enjoy the humour after one or two episodes i do believe you have to be Norwegian. The most plausible explanation as to why this story was ever written is some kind og state/area/similar geographic allocation/grant to make a series.

Absolutely love Lillehamer. Steve VZ is wonderful in it, scripting, acting, the works. Anyone who has lived in Scandiland will love the contradictions etc. (We lived 6 years in North Sweden!
