Ah another fan! I love that series. It really exposes the stupidity of bureaucracies and bureaucrats besides being a great show. Only thing, Frank is still Silvio to me.
Lillyhammer is a fun romp in poking at the liberal establishment of socialism, multiculturalism, and the idiots who man the bureaucracy of a state constructed on those premises, how the black market flourishes in spite of/ because of them.
I agree Van Zant is still Silvio, and Tony Sirico is still Paulie.
They have signed on for a third season. Hope that it doesn’t jump the shark.
