He is the family Oracle, and is constantly reminded at how useless he is at that. My favourite Johnson is Olaf, grandpa, who doesn’t age and lives to surf and smoke dope. Sadly, his character is quite authentic, as are the rest of the characters. Anders’ character does make me uneasy, but I am glad that his behaviour is not glossed over. His brothers know otherwise and are justified in their disapproval. He has convinced himself the he never compels anyone to do anything they don’t really want to do. Why that is, is revealed in time. Anders is the most problematic character on the show, as he uses his powers to take advantage of women. It ends in trouble for the Johnsons and fun for the viewer.Ĭomplicating the family dynamic is Mike’s estrangement from Anders. Just how does one embark on a quest to reunite with one’s destined partner, in order to fulfill a prophecy, when would rather get serious with a hot roommate (poor Axl). But trying to have a lasting relationship with the love of one’s life requires some deft and ridiculous maneuvering when everyone one touches rapidly slips into a hypothermic state (poor Ty). Blending in with the masses may seem simple at first. Navigating a dual existence among gods and men is a trip up Rio de CaCa without a paddle for the Johnson clan. He is the one everyone runs to when trouble hits. Fast forward a decade and a half, he still has trouble shedding his role as pater families. Mike the oldest brother, bears a heavy burden, ever since he was left by their mother at age 21 to look after his 3 brothers. The Johnsons are well characterized and realistically depicted.

This TV show is a perfectly quirky mix of fantasy, coming of age drama, family dysfunction, stoner comedy, comedy of errors, and relationship angst. Meanwhile he juggles an otherwise typical student existence and we get acquainted with the rest of his family and friends. Who the frig is Frigg? as I like to call this task, borrowing a quote. With the help of his older brothers, Mike (Timothy Balme) aka ULLR, god of skill, hunt, duel and all games, Anders (Dean O’Gorman) aka as BRAGI, god of poetry and persuasion, Ty (Jared Turner) aka HODR, god of all things cold and dark and his eternally youthful and somewhat stoned, so-called oracle grandfather Olaf (Ben Barrington) aka BALDR, god of rebirth, light and beauty, Axl embarks on a quest to find the Frigg.

In doing so, Asgard will be rebuilt and the full power of gods will be restored. Oh yes, did I mention that if he dies before he achieves his destiny, his entire family dies too? No pressure.Īnd what is this destiny? It is to reunite with the modern day reincarnation of the goddess FRIGG. Of course, that puts a comedic turn on life. If he fulfills Odin’s destiny, he will restore full powers to all the gods. However, when it is revealed that Axl (Emmett Skilton) is reincarnated ODIN, Allfather of the Gods things get interesting. Granted, these powers are of varying degrees of awesomeness and sometimes more trouble than they are worth. That is, they are all reincarnationed Norse Gods and they acquire special powers at age 21. His 3 older brothers tell him the family secret. The show begins on the youngest brother, Axl’s, 21st birthday. The Almighty Johnsons is the story of 4 brothers and their quest. In fact, a bit of hunting reveals a fan blog devoted to The Almighty Johnsons quotes. The characters are authentic and the dialogue is super funny. It has left us with a neglected stockpile of fall TV episodes that can wait (Supernatural, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sleepy Hollow) because none of them are as good as this import. My husband and I binge-watched the first 2 seasons (10 +13 episodes) and can’t wait to start the third. For those with a multi-regional DVD player (I just love mine) the 1st 2 seasons are only avaIlable in R2/PAL format and bargain priced on .uk. The Almighty Johnsons just aired its 3rd (and perhaps final) season finale on Space, here in Canada. Warning is required, the language and adult situations are beyond the usual network fare and rank with that of US premium cable. Do you want to borrow it? I think it is up your alley.” True friend, she knows me well.
She previously hit the bullseye (years ago, did I mention that she doesn’t watch much TV) when she said and I paraphrase “Ann, I just finished watching Arrested Development on DVD and really enjoyed it. Since she doesn’t watch much TV and is very selective, her recommendation is high praise indeed.

Here it is, the beginning of the new fall TV season and the only thing I find compelling is a quirky series from New Zealand that my good friend Lesley has been urging me to watch for some time.
