This ending done me I couldn’t believe it our own John Cooper Clarke but it worked great, like stiff says it’s those little moments that to some go unnoticed the acting was one of a kind and I haven’t seen the like since, fantastic series a great loss when James Gandolfini died.

I have been trying to get to grips with Lillehammer but it’s hard but I will hang in there.

 

I was just about to post something similar. A big fan of JCC (was meant to see him again at the Sage this year but postponed due to Covid), it was the icing on the cake when Chicken Town was over the end credits.

The cleverest thing about it to me that is probably down to great writing, casting and acting, was that I loved the characters and was routing for them even though they were all massive c**ts and not the type of people that you want to come across in real life.

Yeah none of the characters are perticularly nice , even the women . 

And much like godfather films it doesnt paint a happy picture of life at the top. In the end he had alienated himself from everyone including those closest to him since he was a kid , hed killed a lot of friends and his mob son in Christopher.  

Im a huge sopranos nerd from back when i was working shifts in a factory , id get home by about 11 while rest of the house would be going to sleep and just watch sopranos every night for hours. Must have watched it 10 times through all together.

I was doing a job in Falkirk when the 1st series started. Shown on C4 at 11 or sometimes 11:30. Every Thursday night, have a few pints with the lads and then get a takeaway curry from the restaurant across the road and take it up to my room and settle down to the show. The highlight of my week at the time.
