[quote name="Roop"][youtube id="bfRgVbp9gSY"] I think it's too weird for HBO, first original show on Netfilix streaming. So they put up all the episodes at once, I like that part. You could almost pretend it's Dante from the Soprano's, since Little Steven plays the same character basically. It's a tiny village in the mountains, bored local yokel cops, the Norwegian Mayberry. Then it meets Goodfellas when Little Steven arrives: shooting (vandalism, poaching), smuggling, bribery, gambling, blackmail, all the typical mob stuff, connecting with the local criminal underground (outlaw bikers). So you'll have him extorting pacifists or treehuggers, next minute assault (he'll deck people and hunch and kick them). He's old as hell but anybody sees him coming with that New York flappy lip he uses and they freak the fuck out, never seen anything like that in that part of the world. His problem is he only understands half of what anybody's ever saying because it's actually Norway with actual Norwegian actors and crew, with lots of subtitles. It only ever seemed to get ludicrous until the last episode, but if I was Norwegian I probably would have thought that part was hilarious.[/quote]
