Nictarion Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I really like Lilyhammer, but it's also right up my alley, crime comedy with dark humor. I knew Van Zandt would be great, as he's basically reprising his role as Silvio from The Sopranos, but a lot of the Norwegian characters are really good too.

WarGalley Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yeah I have an affection for Lillyhammer.. it's premise and delivery is just oddly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I Found the HBO special/documentary "Mavis!" just an absolute treat for my soul. Here's the Staple singers in the "Last Waltz" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it got my wife and I started on Scandinavian tv shows. The Bridge is one we liked also. There is also a Danish show called Rita that was quite interesting. I may have mentioned it earlier, but I really enjoyed "Occupied" quite a bit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, a cameo from Van Zandt's usual boss, The Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Mobster drama, but with some great comedic twist built into the storyline and characters imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even good shows. But I will still watch The Killing. The Bridge is on my list too. The Danish or American version of The Killing? I've only seen the American version and loved it. One of my favorite series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they'll also probably rerun it throughout the year but it's always a pain trying to catch these things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pain, but not surprising with the shopping of these shows and rights to services like Netflix and hulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Turn, season 2. This is the AMC series about spies for Washington, and spies for George, and spies and betrayals of everyone by everyone, from King George to General George Washington. More info here, if anyone's interested in starting this series. The third season begins late next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isis Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The first season of The Killing is great but it does feel a little long. The second season has less episodes and this feels better pace-wise. Watch that, and then watch The Bridge. I watched The Fountain this week for the second time. I think I must have been absent from my own mind the first time I watched it (I was busy working full time and doing my masters part time) because I don't seem to recall being that moved by it. But it's such a beautiful film with an incredible score, I found it impossible not to have an emotional connection with it. I might even watch it again at the weekend.
