Tuesday's episode was the best one yet. It was hilarious! I was laughing throughout the whole show. I wasn't sure about Lilyhammer at first but i'm now properly hooked, it works. I love the humour in the show and it's so much funnier when you think of Frank as Silvio. The faces and looks he gives are identical! He cracks me up.
The scene of Frank at the boys birthday party was proper LOL when he was having a go at the eco boy! And that twig? What a twig! And then at the meeting with the apartment developers when he told them he bought the property off that bloke and wanted to become a business partner. That look, very sly! Great stuff!
Sadly the only character's names i can remember is that of Frank. I have no idea who everyone else is called so i just name them by their role.

Just about to watch this week's ep. As we're in a thread about Norway I thought I'd mention that I was reading Scandinavia and the World comic online and the most recent comic is about the alphabets of the Scandi countries:

The best ep yet. Love Steve Van Zandt in this - his facial expressions are a picture. Him looking over the baby magazines at the end was chucklesome. Great character.
Another good episode last night, although it was a more intimate one than we've had so far as the focus was more on Frank and Sigrid. Twins! My god, Frank's gonna have his work cut out for him now isn't he!
So many great scenes but my particular highlights was Frank at the hospital expecting the midwife to be female and getting a man and expecting the doctor to be male and getting a woman instead! Loved how that played out. Also loved Frank's 'women are food' speech to Sigrid's son, Jonas. Was one of the funniest things ever! He kept on going....and going....and going! I was cringing for the boy, but it was hilarious (and somewhat true! ).
Also i never expected it to go the way it did with the Elvis cop going off to America and discovering Frank's a US gangster. Great ending, it changes everything. What now?
I read the Norwegian press online and I remember reading about the Night Ravens. They were wheeled out on duty when there was an awful series of rapes in Oslo either last year or earlier this year. It's funny to see cultural references in this show that I've seen mentioned in their newspapers!
The Guardian crowd really don't like this show but then they do take things a little too seriously over there.

I just took a peek in there - I see what you mean! I love seeing the peculiar Norwegian cultural snippets on this too.
The night ravens - and Johnny getting ready by wrapping back tape around his baseball bat had me chuckling.

Good post ,I agree with all of its must see TV..
Giovanni's goomah is called Sigrid;)
And Geir Elvis is unforgettable. For me anyway:):)
And then there is his dead dog - Lily. Hence the name of the show.
PS
Kyrre Hellum(Elvis) stars in the film Jackpot. It's based on a Jo Nesbo manuscript.

Or maybe he will be after some of the lucrative contracts?:D:D
I wonder if the unfortunate local citizen's will survive long enough.
He hasn't killed anyone yet has he? But that could well change if he goes into full ''Sil'' mode.
http://satwcomic.com/size-matters I love Norway's and Denmark's faces in the last sketch - so cute.
It linked to a fairly amusing little song vid in which the Norwegians try to compete with the Americans about who has the bigger stuff:

The FBI not nailing Aldo Delucci could make it interesting....:D
The best ep yet.
So many moments in this to treasure. :cool:
Don Aldo wants payback. Sends a couple of goons after Giovanni. Could be looking at Pine Barrens 2 maybe?:D:D

Paulie: "You're not gonna believe this. He killed 16 Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator."
Christofaah: "His house looked like shit."
that WAS the greatest dialogue in TV history, until the opening scene of S4 ep1
Just do a search on YouTube for 'The Wire Snoop Buys a Nailgun'. Can't link to it at the moment

The news that
Keep 'em coming.
For me, as a Norwegian, I found it really amusing. It was really popular here, and seemes to do well in Sweden as well.
I was hoping for a double episode last night, roll on next week
