re: #172 Decatur Deb

The only straight locals are SVZ’s divorced single-parent girlfriend and the female chief of police. Most of the ‘nannies’ attacked are incompetent/corrupt male bureaucrats. The mafioso builds a hapless gang out of bikers, soccer hoodlums, dimwits, and other misfits.

Well, the series is a make-money scheme riffing off what the producers of the show think of Norwegian society, i.e., “nanny state”. It does have a right-wing slant to it, so reminiscent of RW politics everywhere. I thought both the females you mentioned were pretty weak characters who deferred to the Mafia “hero” a bit too much.

I suppose they missed this UN report from 2010 naming Norway as the #1 best place to live in the world.
