It was very unbelievable that the very intelligent bodyguard (don't know his name) would so easily be led into his fatal trap, so that bothered me. It also bothers me that I can't understand much of the dialog of this show. I need subtitles at the bottom of the screen! I like the show, but I feel that I'm missing some important stuff because of heavy British accents.

Now I'm just watching the show for views of lovely Sweden and some of the funny Swedish actors. Otherwise, it's painful. Why, oh, why, would the intelligent, beautiful Emma stay with such a complete dufus like Bruce?

I really wanted to like this show because of the refreshing premise, but Greg Poehler is just bringing the whole thing down with his clueless, bland character. And as other posters have mentioned, this episode was full of non funny, except for the guy stuck in the elevator, and my husband and I actually laughed at that. The Greg Poehler character was supposed to be a very successful celebrity accountant, and yet he can't answer a simple question from an immigration official, like when he met his girlfriend? And giving all their furniture away to start fresh? What are they, multi-millionaires? No, that was just a set up for the immigration guy to visit and see that no one appeared to be living there. I perk up when the mom and dad appear, because they make it interesting and sometimes amusing, but unfortunately, I don't think they can save the show for me.

I thought I'd give it one more episode, and wow, this is the kind of show that makes me start yelling at the tv and feel completely irritated that I wasted another hour of my life. So many continuing unanswered questions and terrible characters, I don't care about any of it. It's a pretentious mess. I'm out.

There were a few too many gruesome bodies and graphic images in this episode for me, and I'm having a bit of trouble following all of the different plots, but I'll stick with it because I really liked the first season.

I think that the show is a refreshing change from the usual in your face, rapid fire dialog sitcoms that come and go. (The show that followed it with Andrea Martin is a good example of those kind of shows. ugh- it was awful!) I love Lilyhammer and watch a lot of foreign tv shows so the subtitle factor actually makes the show more interesting to me. All of the characters, except maybe the over the top dumb brother, were funny, and the scenery was beautiful. I'll keep watching!
