I've been watching Lilyhammer on Netflix, highly recommend it!
I was expecting something akin to a Soprano's knock off, but nope. It's a Norwegian show. Literally the only American actor in it is the guy from the Soprano's, the rest of the cast is Norwegian, and the people who write it are all from Norway.
Very clever and funny, if you're looking for a new TV show would recommend checking it out.

If you enjoy "Lilyhammer," I think you might also enjoy the Danish-Swedish series "The Bridge." Sophia Helin's performance as a Swedish high-Aspberger detective is, imho, magnificent, and Kim Bodnia's performance as her Danish detective partner just a perfect counter-balance. I'm delighted there's going to be a third-season of this (airing late in 2015).
I haven't seen an episode of the American spin-off of this.
cheers, Bill

That sounds very watchable, and watchable TV is scarce at the moment!
Will check it out, cheers

This is really one of the best series i've seen for a long time.
Two seasons are done so far.

Never worked out why it is Lilyhammer and not lillehammer though.

It's from how Anglophones pronounce it.

Or at least how Stevie's character pronounces it. Ahem.

I prefer thanking doctors (see below).
I'd rather be phishing!

Sometimes God wants you to visit a doctor before he heals.

So, it is Thanksgiving Day here in the USA and this year I have one significant factor to be thankful for: I was discharged from hospital a few days ago after a heart catherization procedure during which four stents were placed in arteries that supply blood to the heart, to rectify blockages. I am so grateful for modern medical technology for curing the angina and diminishing the risk of a serious heart attack, at least for another decade or so!
