Jan 16, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Other fish-out-of-water films and TV series have done it so, so much better and quicker. Jan 16, 2019 | Full Review… Alison Graham Radio Times Not much is played for direct laughs, but Lilyhammer is damn funny and as warm hearted as the setting is cold. Jan 16, 2019 | Full Review… Kieron Tyler The Arts Desk It's hackneyed, it's forced, it's silly. But the bad news for Netflix is that it's meh. Jan 16, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Barrett io9.com If you're looking for a well-written, mature series that effectively balances drama and humor, this one fits the bill. Jan 16, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media It has a certain charm to it, and Van Zandt is very watchable. I quite like it. Jan 16, 2019 | Full Review… Sam Wollaston Guardian Top Critic Leaves you much as it found you. Van Zandt's performance is as broad as one might expect: he doesn't so much act as do his Silvio thing. It's a mobster caricature. Jan 16, 2019 | Full Review… James Donaghy Guardian Top Critic It's The Sopranos meets Cool Runnings. Aug 17, 2018 | Full Review… Grace Dent Guardian Top Critic A fabulous character comedy-drama that's as unusual as it is entertaining. Jun 14, 2017 | Full Review… Melinda Houston Sydney Morning Herald Top Critic The show looks good and professional and slick, and it plays; it's perfectly watchable, with a pleasant overlay of processed quirk. Feb 6, 2012 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (15) Audience Reviews for Lilyhammer: Season 1 ½ More of a black comedy than anything else. It comes off as unintentionally funny, and entertaining at the same time. I have never seen anything like it.
