'Lilyhammer', Netflix's first original series now online

Today Netflix debuted their first original series titled Lilyhammer. It stars The Sopranos alum Steven Van Zandt. as Frank Tagliano, a mobster who goes into witness protection in Lilyhammer, Norway.

If the The Sopranos was crossed with a fish out of water story this would be it. I've only watched the first episode but I am looking forward to seeing more. Van Zandt is basically playing Silvio Dante here. It is a little unfortunate that this show will almost always be compared to The Sopranos but that's not the worst thing to be compared to after all.

The entire first season which consists of 8 episodes is on Netflix now. And in case you were wondering, there is cursing and nudity. Premium cable, eat your heart out.
