re: #162 Uncle Obdicut

When I first watched it, it seemed like it was kind of slapdashedly poking fun at Scandawegians. Does it have more depth than that?

Becomes a morality play about the universal propensity for corruption. There are only two straight citizens in Lillehammer by the end of season 1. It is the most-watched show in Norway, produced largely by Norwegians. They are willing to laugh at their own excesses. The anti-nanny theme is pervasive, despite SVZ’s strong liberal intent. You have remember that the guy attacking the super-civilized locals is a Mafia murderer.
