What to Know

Critics Consensus

Relying on Steven Van Zandt's wry gravitas, Lilyhammer mines gentle chuckles from its fish-out-of-water scenario, but declines to offer much beyond a culture clash between Nordic and wiseguy caricatures.

Sam Wollaston Guardian 01/16/2019
It has a certain charm to it, and Van Zandt is very watchable. I quite like it. Go to Full Review James Donaghy Guardian 01/16/2019
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. Go to Full Review Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/16/2019
2.5/5
Lilyhammer kept overstepping the line that separates likeably eccentric from plain hokey. Go to Full Review Alison Graham Radio Times 01/16/2019
Other fish-out-of-water films and TV series have done it so, so much better and quicker. Go to Full Review Kieron Tyler The Arts Desk 01/16/2019
Not much is played for direct laughs, but Lilyhammer is damn funny and as warm hearted as the setting is cold. Go to Full Review Brian Barrett io9.com 01/16/2019
It's hackneyed, it's forced, it's silly. But the bad news for Netflix is that it's meh. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Nicky P @Nickeeeeeeeeee Dec 13 Plot convivence theater written with non-stop cliches. See more Mika F @RT51757946 12/21/2024 Love it , super funny comedy , pity it was cancelled. See more Richard M @RWMOREY71 06/28/2023 Not great but not bad enough to be "rotten." The problem I had with this show is that the main character doesn't seem to evolve over season 1 so I did not bother with season 2 or 3. He never changes or adapts - he does things to help himself even if he may end up helping someone else. He doesn't do it altruistically. See more Kenneth S @RT16336574 05/30/2023 If you're looking for a captivating and entertaining TV series, look no further than Lilyhammer! With a perfect blend of humor and drama, this show will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more. The cast is brilliant, and the storyline is compelling, making it a must-see for anyone who loves quality television. Overall, Lilyhammer is a true gem that shouldn't be missed! See more janine t @RT26313562 12/04/2022 Dark unique comedy with the amazing Steve van Zandt. See more 11/18/2021 Watchable to start with, but you soon realize it's full of clichés and unfunny, wooden stereotypes. Just about made it to the end of the first series. Won't bother with any more. Lame. See more Read all reviews
