Don't know how this is going to be better than the movie.
Anybody watch the first episode? Pretty damn good imho, although the "anthology series" fad is already starting to annoy me.
Don't know how this is going to be better than the movie.
I thought it is a good watch....It kept my interest and I will put it in my rotation...They did pick
a good killer.....I saw the movie and loved it...I'm trying to keep a open mind that it's a TV
show and only based on the movie.
I love Billy Bob Thornton's odd characters, I think this show has a lot of potential. I saw it in bits and pieces on premiere night so I need to go back and see it whole before the next episode but I will keep with it for a while and see how it develops.
There are enough departures from the movie by the end of the first episode to judge it on its own merits. Good stuff. Set up a ton of possibilities for this first season. The story between Nygaard and Malvo could run along the lines of Pinkman and White in its own way if the writers choose.
Looks good, I'm excited to watch it when I get some free time.
Then maybe there will be more expansion and detail than the movie.
So far it's been pretty good.
I sure hope Billy Bob isn't supposed to be a protagonist. how many innocents did White shoot in the back for no reason?
Deputy Solverson is clearly going to be the protagonist. I was talking more about the potential for shifting alliances, trust issues and backstabbing between the two lawbreakers.
I liked the first episode but the promos for the show were misleading. In the story, isn't it 2006? The promos had you thinking that it took place in the 1990s like the movie. I think it's similar to the movie but not an exact adaptation. One thing that bugged me was the obvious age gap between Lester and his wife. Lester is played by young Bilbo Baggins and I'm pretty sure Martin Freeman is in his early 40s. The woman that played his y wife had to be in her early 50s to mid 50s at least.
I liked it, will keep watching.
Bump
This is a terrific show. The finale is next week so I'd advise anybody to catch up before then.
Billy Bob kills it tbh.....
I watched the season final of Fargo and it did not disappoint. This was a very good series and should win a award.
Billy Bob played the killer role to perfection. If it comes up on Netflix or Hulu take the time to watch it...........
The series was good, but the way Lester went out was kind of lame.
The second season is gaining steam...I think (at least as of now) it stands on its own merits unlike True Detective did. All the characters--no matter how significant--have depth to them. Jean Smart is standing out among a series full of great performances. This past episode was terrific, really psyched for the next episode.
Don't know why Dave Chappelle escalated at that particular point. Was it payback for the donut shop cattle prodding?
It's getting juicy
I agree with DD; Fargo is making True Detective look bad.
Definitely wasn't expecting season 2 to be on the same level as season 1, but it really is IMO..
Quite the contrast from the pile of that was True Detective, tbh..
I think it's much better than season 1
Ya, I actually agree with this..the characters have been much more interesting, excluding Billy Bob..
I liked Lester Nygaard, although his Walter White transformation took almost no time at all.
Fargo is a very entertaining show with no drop of from season 1.....
Who's gonna be the last Gerhardt standing?
Hope it's Bear tbh
