Les Gros Poissons

The whole tv show is about "boss women" going after the traditional ways of life. A family where the mother is a billionaire (which is very unrealistic since in reality all the female billionaires got their money from divorcing their billionaire husbands), a stay at home dad who smokes weed all the time, a son who is a nobody, an older daughter who works for the mother and she's also the boss of her husband and she cheat on him with the young intern.

This show is all about "women are in power" or whatever. I'm truly tired of watching these garbage shows. Please stop with your agendas and produce something worthwhile.

If you don't get the gender reversals in this subversive and wonderful film, look again. Males are reduced to carrying things for the all powerful females. Males swan around in pearls, makeup, and skirts. They tend babies and iron shirts, complain when no one shows up to eat their cooking. One male is not only sterile but can't get it up without having his wife on the phone. Women, on the other hand, wear pantsuits, show up in boardrooms, cut deals, ride in a helicopter, steer their own boats, dip snuff. Powerful mamas vie with younger versions of themselves in their daughters. A tour de force.

I went in with low expectations but couldn't stop watching. The cinematography was beautiful and stunning, easily the best part of the show. The story itself was a typical family drama with infighting for control of a billion-dollar business, but the characters were compelling, and the twists kept coming. I enjoyed many of the story arcs, and for me, it explored a part of the world and industry I wasn't familiar with-Norwegian culture and the salmon industry, which added novelty. While the story seemed to conclude, I'm hoping for a sequel. Hope the series gets more viewers and we get an encore.

The Norwegian team that brought" Lilihamer " to the cinema world has focused on another Nordic controversy to satirize : Salmon Farming. Norfisk is the company that a prominent business family plans to take over as the powerful female in her family plays manipulator, mommy, granny and auntie to the clan all the while placing snuff in her upper mouth between upper teeth and lip. Those viewers who are familiar with the Norwegian culture will find plenty to laugh at throughout. The remainder will remain clueless to all of the shenanigans on the monitor. The subject of salmon farming in the waters of the Norwegian Fiords has been a continuing environmental issue for many years. Are these un-natural fish farming practices destructive to the bountiful and clean waters of Fiords along with harming the human consumers of the fish flesh in artificial production? Hot topics today despite the myriad of distractions.

The actors' skills in portraying such greedy business corporate raiders living on their own island elevates satire to a new level. The use of traditional old style Norwegian clothing in new bizarre designs plus demonstrating the customs of old Norge, adds to the fun of the story. Skoll traditions, Sunday family meals, State Religion Lutheran church services while all are on the take makes this movie memorable.

Check it out when looking through NETFLIX offerings. No disappointment if the viewer includes a Norwegian Beer while on the couch.

Well rating is over 6 on imdb right now but it will soon go down faster than a fat boy on a seesaw

No this is not a good tv show, its a story without material, its a comedy without humour and its a drama without ideas, its just nothing, there is situations where you actually believe something is going to happends but then its just fade out and nothing happends again

More drama than comedy, wich is a bit typical for all of these series, its just too little funny things and just too much of the boring things and it was too much people in the serie aswell, hard to remember who is who , no this is just not a good serie.
