Synopsis

Frank Tagliano (Steven Van Zandt), is a former New York mobster, who after testifying in a trial in the United States, joins the witness protection program. Intrigued by the place after watching the Winter Olympics in 1994, he is relocated to Lillehammer in Norway. The transition from being a feared and respected gangster in New York, to becoming an unemployed immigrant in Norway, is not simple. Frank soon discovers that in order to succeed in this rural Norwegian society, he must resort to his old ways.

I was glad to hear about this. Hopefully Netflix will rent this like they did House of Cards.

MifuneFan · 08-12-2013, 03:56 PM

I've heard really good things about it, but it didn't seem to get much attention when it was released. I actually thought House of Cards was Netflix's first original series because of how big of a deal they made out of Netflix competing with television, etc...

Yeah this one kind of fell under the radar, I think there is a 2nd season done as well.

Hi,

Season 1 has already been out on UK DVD (Region 2 locked) for several months now! You can get it from Amazon UK by clicking here.

Huh, I just bought this (on Australian DVD) at a closing down Blockbusters. Thought the name sounded familiar (thus the purchase, for a whopping $6.50). Guess I can pass the DVD on if I like it enough to upgrade to a Blu.

From what i've read, Lilyhammer is a co-production with a norwegian TV company, and for the most part only aired on Netflix initially in the US. In Norway it aired on Norwegian TV, and in the UK it aired on BBC Four. So while this is technically Netflix's first production, House of Cards was the first one solely by Netflix and also airing Solely on Netflix worldwide, unlike Lilyhammer.

The series was originally produced by Rubicon TV in co-operation with SevenOne International for NRK (the Norwegian national TV broadcasting company). Netflix didn't become a production partner until season 2.

Does the Norwegian Blu-ray release of Lilyhammer's first series have extras? Also wondering if the US Blu-ray release will be region A or region free.

Looks like it dropped in price too! I'd be curious to know if there are any special features included on this release.

EPlay · 11-17-2013, 04:07 AM

Odd that this site and retailers have a December 3 release date and only Amazon is 11/19.

chrisron · 11-17-2013, 09:23 AM

They're showing season 2 here in Norway right now and I read somwhere that it will be available to Americans on Netflix in December.

The Norwegian BD is out in February, but it doesen't seem to include English subtitles.

indabayou · 11-17-2013, 06:25 PM

How is season 2?

chrisron · 11-17-2013, 07:31 PM

I haven't started watching season 2 yet, since I've decided to finish watching season 2 of the Swedish/Danish series 'Broen' (the Bridge) first.

indabayou · 11-20-2013, 05:41 AM

Did anyone that has this or seen it like it ? I was a big Soprano's fan & Van Zandt's character was one of my favorites i was curious to see how this series turned out after seeing the promos for it.
