TV Show Lilyhammer

[Roadtrip635]

Binge watched the first two seasons of "Lilyhammer" and gotta say I loving it! Stevie Van Zandt plays Frank Tagliano, a mobster that goes into witness protection in Lillehammer Norway and changes his name to Giovanni Henriksen. He basically plays the Silvio character from "The Sopranos" but with a comedic twist.

I can't believe I hadn't started watching this show sooner, it's hilarious. I love the Bogart and mob movie references throughout the series. So many funny lines throughout the show, just had me cracking up. If you haven't watched it yet, you gotta start.

So what you're saying is he has no range as an actor?

Lilyhammer huh? When I first read it, I thought it was a remake of Sledge Hammer TV show except with a female playing the leading role.

My wife and I watched it when it first came out. Great show. Can't wait for the next season.

I prefer to think of it as the spinoff after The Sopranos finale. Silvio actually turned state's evidence against Tony, then went into witness protection.
