I have watched all of LIlyhammer in 2 weeks. I like that the show is filmed in another country. The scenery, the whole thing of being somewhere else in the world makes it even better. I don’t mind the subtitles, it’s interesting to hear the differences in language. The show is a mix of laughs in everyday situations with the mophia thrown in to take care of the jerks. I’m ready for Season 4.
