About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, offbeat crime-comedy about a tough outsider adapting to small-town Norway, with sudden bursts of violence and culture-clash laughs; Not for you if you dislike crude humor or uneven later seasons, and fans of Terriers or Vikingane may click with it.
Pros: fish-out-of-water mob comedy; quirky supporting characters; Norwegian culture clash | Cons: uneven later seasons; implausible story turns; occasional mean-spirited humor
