This is another Netflix original.

 

So far I'm 1 for 2 in liking Netflix produced shows.  Is this one any good?

Uhm as far as I'm aware it's not a Netflix production; it's produced by Rubicon TV for a norwegian TV channel called NRK. Netflix was a partner involved, yes, but they didn't make it.

 

Haven't seen it myself, but the people I've known who's seen it seems to like it and thinks it's really funny. I usually stay far away from anything resembling Norwegian TV or movie productions myself.

Well, doesn't matter much, as they are the ones that are distributing it in North America.

 

And anyways, I loved this show, liked it better than house of cards (I only saw one episode of that, and found it fairly dry... just haven't had time to go through it more.)

Shows that Netflix is picking up season 2.

should also be noted, that the main star, was also from HBOs the soppranos.

The Main star is also a Van Zandt from the E street band.  Watched the series last year.  Was funny, quirky.  Worth a watch.
