Love, love, love Lillyhammee and Van Zandt, the whole cast, and the writers! I’m ready for season 4.
MY WIFE AND I LOVED THE SHOW AND WE ARE HOPING FOR A SESON 4
Lilyhammer is the kind of show that shows genius in combining the edginess of The Sopranos and brilliant comedic flair. Taking Brooklyn to Norway, who would have believed this could work? It does! Steve Van Zandt & others are pure joy.
Season 4 Please!!! Awesome!!!
I would love to see a season 4
more please
hoping, praying for more seasons to come
I watched the third season in two sittings and am praying for a 4th!! I used to see Steve Van Zandt play regularly with the Springsteen Band in junior high and high school long ago. He is an awesome guitar player, his slide playing was fascinating to me as a young guitar player who discovered open tunings in 7tth grade.

I discovered that some critics really panned Lilyhammer after the pilot… Read more »
Love the show. I would love to see a season 4. Netflix TV series are great keep them coming.
This is a great show. Steven Van Zandt ((who was an original member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band) is a treasure. He is a gifted actor as well as a singer.

I love anything that has to do with the Mafia, and wish I lived in the era of gangsters and mob men. I am hoping there are many… Read more »
Love the show. I have watched some of the episodes twice. I sure hope that Lillihammer is renewed for seasons 4 and beyond.
This is one of the best shows I have ever watched. It is hilarious.
I hope it will continue after it!s third season.
WSteven Van Zandt is brilliant. Plus he can sing.
A true talent!
This show is a hoot and hoping Netflix renews for a season 4, 5, 6, etc…
That’s the spirit… thinking beyond a 4th season!! I’m with you, Judy! 5,6,7…. as long as they’re having a good time making it, let the good times roll!!
As third gen norwegian-americans imagine how much we gigglelove this show! We know characters (somewhat) like these portrayed, both here and in Norway. Hope it goes on for many more seasons!
