I saw the first episode of this on Norwegian TV when it premiered last week, and I thought it was very good. It can best be descibed as The Sopranos meet Fargo. Frank Taglianos encounter with Norwegian bureaucracy and Norwegian culture was hillarious. "I have to take a six month class on how to be a fucking immigrant??"
