[Lilyhammer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilyhammer) is the first original TV series created by Netflix. The concept behind the show is that a gangster in New York rats out his boss and has witness protection send him to a small town in Norway. So far we are only a couple episodes into the season but we really like it! We live in New York and we have a special place in our hearts for Scandinavia though so we may be a bit biased about the show because of that. Is anyone else enjoying it as much as we are? ---

Netflix was advertising it heavily on the tear-off parts of the mailer. I thought it looked interesting so I went to check it out. Not available :(. Apparently it’s basically a plug for their streaming to scare us away from DVD mailing. And I could’ve swore I added it to my queue for when it comes out from exclusivity and now it’s completely gone. Hopefully this will show up on DVD later so that I can participate better. ---

I watched the first two or three episodes and got bored. Too bad. I had high hopes for it. ---

I watched the first episode when it came out and never went back for the second. ---

I watched the first 3 or so episodes, I like it enough that I’ll watch more. ---

I just finished episode 3 and am liking it so far. Who’d have thought the Sopranos in Norway would turn out to be good. ---

And I just finished episode 8. This was really good. Frank/Giovanni won a battle, but destroyed his relationship with Sigrid (can’t wait to see how that turns out), and now he & Laila are basicially in a state of MAD). ---

[spoiler] Was there some reason the older assassin didn’t kill Frank other than some kind of mutual respect? If that was all, it didn’t seem convincing to me. But did I miss something? Seems foolhardy in any case. There are these things called newspapers and death records etc.[/spoiler]
