Fargo

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

If no one here is watching Fargo I really feel that you should know you are missing out. It is absolutely spectacular. You have to watch it from the first but if you are able to catch a marathon to get you up to speed (it is 5 episodes in) I HIGHLY recommend that you do. It is produced by the Coens and their fingerprints are all over it. The humor is exceptionally dark, just like the movie. The characters are really well fleshed out and the story is top notch. It makes me think of a cross between The Big Lebowski and No Country For Old Men. Anyone here watching it?

I saw the pilot and was bored by it. Plus I couldn't get past Martin Freeman's HORRIBLE attempt at a Minnesotan accent. Ugh...

This seems to be still going today, season 5 just having come out a while back. This show has been a real enigma to me, but I think I "get" it now. It's not a longform remake or "reimagining" or anything of the movie, but rather a sequel to it... sort of. Which each season acting as a new and separate chapter with almost entirely different characters every time.

Is that about right?
