Nah Tso Gud 296 Posted March 18, 2014 I'll check this out actually. I just hope they don't exaggerate the damn accents this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tracksuit Hitman 720 Posted March 18, 2014 I can't see the TV show being any better than the film. If the Coen brothers are producing the show, then I'm definitely going to watch it, although I can't say I have the best expectations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatDog96 434 Posted April 16, 2014 I watched the first episode and it was excellent, its one of my favourite shows now and I hope the rest of the episodes are as good. The show has the same look and feel as the movie but it's a different story and with characters. its good and you should probably watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Pinkerton 8,521 Posted April 22, 2014 Watched the first episode last night. I'm impressed but I'm biased as I do love Fargo, the film. If you are a fan of Fargo, expect more of the same. If you never watched it, give it a chance but it might not be to everyone's tastes. Thornton's character is brilliant. He gave some laugh-out-loud moments in a darkly humorous way. Martin Freeman's character is great... just like Macy's portrayal. I notice their characters share the same surname. Are they related or just an alternate version of the same character?

Voodoo 36,845 Posted April 22, 2014 I've seen the film Fargo so many times that it took a while to get into this. Freeman is no Macy and Thornton is no Stormare but once I got into it and accepted it for what it was, I really enjoyed it. This series has a lot of promise and I love the setting. The film really nailed the accents and mannerisms of the people in northern MN and the Dakotas. This one, not as much but it's still pretty entertaining.

Mister Pinkerton 8,521 Posted June 10, 2014 Getting through this slowly. Only watched the second episode the other night... too many shows on the roster right now (rewatching The Wire for the 3rd time, Game of Thrones, Fargo, Sons of Anarchy, Boardwalk Empire and some more) and plus, all the films I want to see and gaming to get done! Argh! Show gets better and better Might try catch the 3rd episode tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe. 15 Posted June 11, 2014 I had my reservations about Martin Freeman but he has absolutely killed it so far. The show is going to benefit heavily from a more controlled viewing, I can't wait to blast through it all in one night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny_zoo 401 Posted June 11, 2014 In the final 2 episodes. Guys I assure you it gets way better each ep. Words cant describe. The tension created on screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Scratch 10,976 Posted October 13, 2015 So did anyone catch the season 2 premiere? They've got Ted Danson, Jeffrey Donovan and Bruce Campbell, I'm impressed to say the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurnettVice 207 Posted October 14, 2015 I watched it when came on Monday, boy was that a hoot! All the characters seem interesting, acting was really good. I'm glad they played the wrench and numbers theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Scratch 10,976 Posted October 14, 2015 Pretty sure it is. If not you can always try some more unorthodox methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azazel 2,425 Posted November 1, 2015 It's only available on HBO, I believe. They also put up the first season, when the second was premiered.At first I feared that I would miss Lorne too much to enjoy it, but the season premiere was really, really solid. I got irritated at Martin Freeman sometimes, because it felt like he was over-acting, and over-doing the otherwise quite charming Minnesota accent, but I don't get that this time, with this cast. It's positively hilarious the way they often stutter their way through sentences, hardly finishing any that they start. It's so well written, fantastically acted, and the atmosphere is even better than in the first season. Can't wait for more. EDIT: Okay then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Presidential 278 Posted November 5, 2015 Loved the movie and the first season. Haven't gotten around to the second season yet. Loved Billy Bob Thornton's character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Power Colt 3,020 Posted November 17, 2015 I've watched the first 5 episodes. It's pretty good, but I don't really find any of the characters to be as interesting as Malvo or Lester on the first season. After watching the movie and season 1 you kinda start seeing similar elements repeating as well which maybe makes the twists a bit less shocking for me. Still though, I quite enjoy it. Great acting across the board, I hope to see more of Bruce Campbell's Ronald Reagan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dognuts 3,921 Posted November 20, 2015 While no one is as striking as Billy Bob Thronton's Malvo, the second season as a whole is much better than the first, IMO. I'm absolutely loving it, makes me look forward to Mondays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DareYokel 5,814 Posted November 20, 2015 Season 1 had Malvo, sure. And he was awesome. But season 2 has this guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
