'Lilyhammer' -or- Sopranos in Scandanavia

Netflix is starting to make its own content and the first I've watched is 'Lilyhammer'. A Mob underboss played by Steven Van Sant rats on his boss and is relocated to Lilyhammer, Norway because he liked the Olympics in 1994. No, really. So he's trying to get used to Norway and his Mob tendencies are showing and the local police think he's a Muslim terrorist (no, really). I've watched four episodes so far and it's a great show. Van Sant is great and the Norwegian actors are all good to great. It's funny without having gags and Norway seems to be a cross between Ikea and the DMV. European socialism is not a favorite of mine and there are moments here and there that show the difference between the US and the rest of the world but it doesn't preach either way. It's worth a look if you have Netflix.
