Icelandic filmmaker Ólafur Jóhannesson is one of the country's busiest director. Last year he premiered his first feature length fiction film The Higher Force, co starring The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli, after focusing solely on documentaries earlier in his career. His pseudo doc The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela won The Teddy at last year's Berlin Film Festival and this summer he's gearing up for another feature. But after The Higher Force he created a TV series about angels working basically as God's bureaucrats who want to be reborn as humans. The series was created by Olafur and his frequent collaborator Stefan Schaefer and co-stars other Soprano alumni Steve Schirripa and Sharon Angela.
Today is the day the series premieres so head on over to their website and take a gander.
