Fargo - on the teevee

[Worthless Willie]

I thought the first episode was great.  Really captures the feel of the film, without trying to be a carbon copy.  It really did a good job of making you feel like your back in the same town, watching some different fucked up shit.  Can't wait to see the rest, and I'm glad they're only doing 10 episodes.

Also, Billy Bob is beyond fucking great.  He should stick to acting...his band sucks.

[jmucke]

Yes, its very good. Wonder were the story will go. Thorntons character has touches of Anton Chigurh, thats nice.

[The Bandit]

Very good first episode.

[Bro. Righteous]

I got bored half-way thru and went to porn instead.

[GodShifter]

I got bored half-way thru and went to porn instead.

I couldn't get through it, either. About 35 minutes in I shut it off.

[The Bandit]

Wife and I split it up over 2 nights.

Billy Bob's bangs are ridiculous but that little speech he gives to the cop and then drives away is chilling.

[ez]

The whole last third of the episode was pretty amazing. Really looking forward to seeing where they take this show.

[Worthless Willie]

Watched it a second time.  Just as good.

Can't wait to get home and watch the next one.

yep..

I just wish he was darker and more savant-like..he's got a bit of goofy in him that makes him less creepy then say..Bardem in No Country for Old Men. The episode was a little slow. The last half hour was the best.

[The Bandit]

What is "a dink and a lepton"?

[Instant Dan]

'What type of bone will a dog not eat?'

'Chicken!'

'....A trombone.'

[JkFlesh]

I love it.  Great new show.  Well-written characters, excellent cast, well shot and consistently surprising. I am fully on board.

[MadJohnShaft]

This show is great. I am starting to look forward to this. 

[MadJohnShaft]

Yeah! Sort of.

[The Bandit]

Great show, Billy Bob Thornton can still act his ass off.

[RAGER]

I like the show and look forward to seeing it but I wish they would have cast somebody else other than Billy Bob.  He's just not believable to me as a bad ass.

[MadJohnShaft]

Really? I don't particularly like him but I thought his performance was stellar and understated.

[Worthless Willie]

I didn't think he was trying to play it as a badass at all.  Just a smart, creepy weirdo who kills people.  I thought he was great.

The whole thing was really well done, I thought.  Can't wait to see what they do for a second season.

Everyone on the cast was phenomenal. 


Boy, that Lester...what a douche.

[ez]

Can't wait to see what they do for a second season.

I hope there won't be a second season. What would be the point.

It's about time US television embraces the concept of TV serials.

[MadJohnShaft]

Is no second season it's a miniseries and done

[ez]

I did read a recent interview with Noah Hawley where he insinuated that there would be enough material to tell more stories surrounding the people from that part of the US. And IMDB has a second season listed.

Not that either of those two things mean anything.

[RAGER]

A second season would be ridiculous.  Just milking it IMO.  I don't care how the she-sheriff's life with the dipshit mailman turns out.  I doubt anyone else does either.

[Worthless Willie]

It got picked up for a second season, from what I understand.

I'll watch.

[The Bandit]

I will too.
