Lilyhammer (2012–2014)
7/10
Starts well, tails off in the middle a bit and the less said about the ending the better. Apart from that, Excellent!

Enormously enjoyable series until the last three episodes when the scriptwriters lost the plot (sorry about the pun). As a joint production with the Norwegian government I'm not surprised the Nordies pulled the plug after the last series. The central characters are wonderful but eventually lose the audience's sympathy when the plot lines degenerate into gratuitous filthy language, unfunny violence and rough sex with a dollop of buggery. Not quite the image the clean living Nordies want to project for their tourist industry. A great pity though as its hugely enjoyable until then. As Edmund Blackadder said: 'It started well, tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the ending the better. Apart from that, Excellent!'
