Fargo

[MacB]

Enjoyed Fargo as well and @ColinJ The Wire is well worth giving another go, I watched it a few weeks ago and was impressed, more so than the Sopranos

 

[RedRider]

I watched the whole series thanks to your original post, and I really enjoyed it - thanks!

Same here. Thanks @User13710, some of the best TV I've seen and all the better for being 'just' 10 episodes, no slack at all. Malvo was definitely devilish, reminded me of that character in No Country for Old Men who I think was Death himself.

Best TV series in ages.

Not Frome? The protagonist is a much beleaguered ex cycle pro...

I'll reserve judgement until the end of the series as to whether it stands up to the first series but the best thing on telly at present. I like the various links to the first series. I just hope that they don't overdo, as with a lot of US shows, with more unnecessary sequels.

Great use of Jethro Tull at the start of tonight's episode.

I will avoid the posts above for now because I have not watched last night's episode yet ...

My sister was up for the weekend and watched the Fargo film with my nephew. They asked if I had watched Fargo. I said that it was one of my favourite films, and that I also like the TV series.

They completely missed the point. They saw it as an unrealistic thriller rather than a black comedy! I asked how they could take those accents seriously, and as for the scene at the end where that man is putting bits of his mate through the wood chipper - ha ha ha!

I was under the impression that the accents were quite accurate for Minnesota.

I'm rather disappointed with this series. I'm only up to episode three so I'll give it another two but so far it's not a patch on the first series.

Episode 6 has one of the finest scenes I've seen for ages.

Then I think I would laugh a lot in Minnesota ... (Though not to the faces of the locals - that would be rude!)

I asked how they could take those accents wide-eyed heavily pregnant Minnesota cops catching big guys putting parts of their mates through wood-chippers seriously?

They are. I've met a couple folks from there and it takes some time getting used to how they sound.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

I don't know, I go to put it on but always seem to find something else more appealing.

This week's episode (S02E09) was superb but weirdness towards the end was a tad questionable.

Hanzee Dent just keeps on getting better
