Fargo - The Series

FX revives 'Fargo,' a classic Coen brothers film set in North Dakota - NY Daily News

The TV version of “Fargo,” which premieres April 15, follows the spirit of the movie, a deeply dark, off-center drama that interweaves comedy and graphic violence.
It’s set in the same world of numbing cold.
But it has a different collection of characters, with a cast led by Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks, Tolman and Bob Odenkirk.

This story will run 10 episodes, with a beginning and an end. If it goes to a second season, which executive producer Noah Hawley has optimistically begun writing, there will be a different story and likely a different cast.

I hope it measures up to the movie, you betcha yah.

Just watched the first episode. Not bad. Pretty damn good actually.

Spoiler: spoiler

It's a shame about the chief of police though. I kind of liked him.

I want more!
Also, it's nice to see Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman) again now that Breaking Bad is done.

That was Saul Goodman wasn't it. I knew he looked familiar but I didn't make the connection.

Crap, missed the first episode but got it programed into the Hopper now. Will have to watch it through the Joy though, don't think the wife will like it. She did not like the movie, oh well that's what we have technology for.

It's getting more interesting.
Too bad that so-&-so shot whoozits.
(Spoiler avoidance there.)

I believe Billy Bob shot her and she just collapsed. As bad a cop Gus is, I'm sure he's a terrible shot. Stay tuned....

I love Billy Bob's method of showing how insignificant someone else's threats are.
Drop trou, sit on terlit, & drop the kids off at the pool.

So....who is more evil, Lorne Malvo or Lester Nygaard?

This is truly one of the series that makes
this the Golden Age of television.
Another great season just ended.
I won't give anything away.
But **** will happen.
