It is a bit corny, but entertaining.

OK, that answers the title question I was going to ask.
This is the very first I am hearing of this series, I will have to check it out and see just how little Stevie plays a nordic character.

He seems to understand Norwegian very well
Some of the story lines might not be PC over hear, or the language.
I guess that's why it's exclusive to netflix.

Anything to get my wife away from "Grey's Anatomy."
I watched last season and loved it. Started watching this season and I'm not sure where it's going yet. Still kind of fun. But I've heard that Season 2 headed in a different direction and is not as good.
On a related subject, has anyone seen the Danish-Swedish crime drama tv series called The Bridge (Bron/Broen)? I'm talking about the original one, not the US remake version made by FX.
The characters are great, IMO. The whole show is really good, too. Has some funny moments in it, but for the most part it's just a really dark crime theme with a story that spans for 10 episodes.

Got the mentioned season 1 on DVD at local library. Found it torture to watch. Got thru 3 episodes and quit it.
Got season one of Portlandia from the library, haven't viewed it yet.

Have you seen Bron2/Broen2 yet?
In that they rented my old Chevy C20 and its shown in some episodes. Its matte black with a sunvisor with amber clearance lights in it, sadly they were never turned on during the filming.

Yes, I just finished watching Season 2 last night.
I do recall seeing an American pickup truck as it stood out in comparison to everything else that they were driving.
Did you get to meet any of the cast members while they were using your truck?

No i didnt meet anyone.
One of the producers assistents came home to me to drive it down to where they were was shooting the series. Malmö and Köpenhamn (Malmo/Copenhagen)
I cant belive they dared to drive a rwd longbed pickup with a heavy dieselengine at the front and no weight over the rear axle.
In the winter (they filmed in in januari 2013) on bfg all terrain that i think are useless in snow and rain. (I can easily spin out on wet asphalt in the summer with it..)
A fun thing was the first word he said when i showed him the truck was: Holy **** its bigger than we thought it was.
They had just seen a pic of it here: http://www.garaget.org/Pierre_r

Cool!
Funny there was a thread here a while back about Pick up trucks in Europe (or the lack of).
I was in Denmark/Sweden for a month last year and saw only Two in my whole visit, Both were Nissan.
How did you get yours?

I bought mine from another guy that had to many vehicles.
The american pickups are rare to se driving on the roads here but they are around.
But thanks to weight limits you have to have different licenses to drive them.
I can drive my 2500silverado and my C20 on a normal license but i cant have that much weight in the bed (2500,750kg) (C20,1000kg) if i wanted a C30/3500 i would have to get another license that is for vehicles over 3500kg.
The total weight of the C20 fully loaded with fuel in both tanks and a driver is 3490kg
The total wiight of the 2500 fully loaded with max fuel and a driver is 3290kg
Japanese pickups are lighter and can therefor have more in the bed before they reach that limit, but they arent made for heavy loads like a fullsize truck is, i have had almost 3000kg in the bed and you could barley se that it was loaded,the same load in a japanese pickup and it probably would have snapped in half over a bump.
fullsize trucks are often more expensive to own here thanks to taxes... But once the get 30 years old any car/truck becomes tax free as its classed as a veteran vehicle that year
The yearly tax on my 6.5td 2500 is about $900 and that is classed as a "light truck" to get it down a bit, if it werent it would cost over $1800 a year, just because its a diesel...
