Lilyhammer
New York mobster Frank Tagliano starts a new life in the sleepy Norwegian town of Lillehammer.
" A razor-sharp drama about cultural mores"
Set in LILLEHAMMER, NORWAY
A Norwegian comedy-drama about a New York mobster, played by none other than Steven Van Zandt, aka Silvio from The Sopranos. He's Frank "The Fixer" Tagliano, who rats out his boss and is put into witness protection, where he makes an odd demand: he wants to be rehoused in the small, rural Norwegian town of Lillehammer, having seen it on TV when it was a venue for the 1994 Winter Olympics.
Once he arrives in Lillehammer - or "Lilyhammer", as he mis-pronounces it - Frank has to acclimatise to the Norwegian way of life, but is soon back to his old criminal ways.
