action

season 1

Frank “The Fixer” Tagliano, a member of the New York Mafia, gets into a witness protection program so that he can testify in a trial against his boss at the time. He decides to relocate to Lillehammer in Norway, the venue for the 1994 Winter Olympics . Ever since he saw pictures of the games on television, he has been fascinated by the small town. His new identity is that of the Norwegian-American immigrant Giovanni Henriksen.

He soon made friends with the teacher Sigrid and her son Jonas, whom he met on his train ride to Lillehammer. After spending the night together, she becomes pregnant with twins. Henriksen soon falls back into his old, ruthless ways of making things happen in his new life. For example, he blackmailed officer Jan Johanssen, by whom he felt harassed , with photos showing him together with naked, possibly underage girls, in order to get a permit to open his own bar (Flamingo) . There he found a job for Torgeir, an unemployed acquaintance. The two are partners from now on. After Johanssen made the opening possible for him and done other favors, Henriksen returned the photos as thanks. He later annoys the local police officer Geir Tvedt when he refuses to let his band perform in the Flamingo . He now begins to sniff around in Henriksen's past and mistakenly thinks he is an Islamist terrorist. When he sees Henriksen at an event with a toy gun, Tvedt believes it was a terrorist attack. Because of Henriksen's forcible arrest, Tvedt is suspended from duty for several months. He gets (as a fan of Elvis Presley ) donated a trip to Graceland in Memphis from his colleagues . When he was interrogated on the plane on his way to America for suspicious behavior, the American officials discovered photos of Frank Tagliano / Giovanni Henriksen and asked Tvedt why he had pictures of a Mafia member. After his release, he wants to find out more about Henriksen's true identity, but is kidnapped by Frank's former "colleagues" during research. Tvedt is able to get rid of his chains, but is killed by a shot in a scuffle with the kidnappers. The New York Mafia now knows that Tagliano is in Norway because Tvedt had a bag with his address on it. She sends the two gangsters to Lillehammer to eliminate the traitor Tagliano.

When they arrive in Lillehammer, they kidnap Sigrid's son Jonas and demand that Henriksen surrender. Jonas can escape before Henriksen shows up at the agreed location. One of the gangsters threatens him with a pistol, but shortly before he pulls the trigger, his colleague shoots him. He offers Henriksen, because he does not want to kill him and has always respected him, to claim in New York that the gangster and he shot each other. When they have agreed on it, they bury the body at the scene in the forest. There they are discovered by the local policewoman Laila Hovland and confronted. When she tries to arrest them, Henriksen says that the dead man was responsible for the murder of her colleague Tvedt. As a result, Hovland decides not to investigate further. Meanwhile, Johannsen is losing his job because some of the compromising photos that fell out of his pocket were circulated. He is now starting to work for Henriksen in the Flamingo. Sigrid leaves Henriksen because of the kidnapping of her son and because she has the feeling that he is lying to her.

season 2

At the beginning of the second season, Torgeir, along with his brother and Roy, a biker, accidentally destroyed the car of a British ex-hooligan in an accident. When the latter looks for those responsible in the flamingo and threatens Henriksen with a weapon, Torgeir kills him from behind with a knitting needle. The hooligan's relatives are traveling from England to seek revenge. To do this, they want to kill Torgeir's brother Roar. Henriksen and his helpers manage to lure them onto the ice with a trick, where they break in and then freeze to death. Roar can be saved.

Meanwhile, Jan begins a relationship with the manager of the local asylum seekers' home, which he and Henriksen later use as a source of money. When Jan and the manager split up, she told the police about Jan's scams. During an argument between the two, Jan accidentally kills her. He then applied for asylum in Iraq in order to start a new life. Meanwhile, a bank is robbed in Oslo; Several safes are looted in the robbery, including one that contains information about Henriksen's true identity. He is informed and warned by a member of the Norwegian secret service. Henriksen manages to retrieve and destroy the files; however, the thieves have copies that they want to sell to the New York Mafia. They come across Robby, the gangster who was supposed to kill Henriksen and let him go. He kills both of them to cover up his act, but the copies fall into the hands of one of his colleagues, who passes them on to the mafia boss. Since there is also a photo of Henriksen in the files after his alleged death, he realizes that Robby lied and Tagliano is alive. He wants to have him killed, but the assassination attempt fails. Meanwhile, Robby gets permission from his uncle, also a high-ranking Mafia member, to kill the boss.

He visits Tagliano in Norway to ask for his support and his return to America. Tagliano initially refuses, but then kills the mob boss with the help of Torgeir and friends in New York. He then returns to Lillehammer. In the final scene he is seen eight months later, happy with his twins at a reindeer race.

season 3

Last season's first location is Rio de Janeiro, where Roar and Torgeir are vacationing and Roar's Internet acquaintance Alex, whom he wants to marry straight away, even though she doesn't fully reciprocate. At the same time in Lillehammer, after witnessing an altercation, Johnny is shot and hospitalized. Torgeir makes his way back to check on his boss, leaving his brother Roar behind. In turn, Alex naively gets involved in a drug deal with Alex's brother: the deal goes wrong and both end up in prison. This is also reflected in the Norwegian media and shortly after Johnny's discharge from the hospital and some shady methods on a Norwegian diplomat, they manage to buy Roar out and return to Norway.

There the flamingo fell victim to an arson attack and now the focus of Johnny and his crew is on finding the assassins who shot him and burned the club down - by the way, an actually closed problem comes back from and with Jan and Dag. While the crew gets closer to the assassins, Roar returns to Brazil for the time being and tries his hand at being a telenovela star. He gets into trouble again and is now supposed to smuggle cocaine worth three million kroner into Norway for the client of the first deal - otherwise he would face the consequences.

In Lillehammer, a friend Johnnys from the USA joins the crew after a screwed job in Sweden, but soon falls out of favor as he tries desperately to build up his own protection money empire. After he has been kicked out and is now setting up his own crew, who make the area unsafe and divulge details about Johnny's past, Johnny tries to get him removed - with help from overseas. For a short time, Roar also works for the new, hostile organization after he has also been through with his brother downstairs, as he is working on Torgeir's savings after his second screwed up deal. Torgeir himself needs this money to buy a house because he is now in steady hands and wants to get out of the business. After all problems with the assassin, Jan and his friend's crew have been resolved, Torgeir leaves the crew to move away. Meanwhile, Sigrid, Johnny's ex, has a huge problem with her new boyfriend, who is expecting a child.

Some of the guest roles in the series were cast by Van Zandt's companions. His two brothers are played by his ex- Sopranos colleague Tony Sirico and his band leader Bruce Springsteen - his wife Maureen also plays a friend in New York.

Often criticized that the series was completely transferred into German. In the original version, the Norwegian dialogues, which are incomprehensible to the main actor, are only provided with subtitles. The wit, the authenticity and the reason why the series even worked were lost due to a “brutal synchronization” that “couldn't keep up with the original version”.
