"Fargo" (FX/MGM, 2014 - present)

Gustav_Graves

I must say....I'm hooked. I've always been a fan of the Coen brothers. And I still think the movie "Fargo", full of bored looking, and therefore adorable, mixtures of protagonists/antagonists (William H. Macy, Frances McDormand), is still one of their best movies.

Now I saw the first 7 episodes of season 1. And I think especially Billy Bob Thornton and Allison Tolman really are my favourite characters. Also glad to see that the Coen brothers are onboard as creative consultants and executive producers.

Also lovely to see that so many big Hollywood actors nowadays see how wunderful it can be to star in well-written TV-series (Think about "True Detective", "Boardwalk Empire", "House Of Cards", "The Americans")

Has anyone saw the TV-series? It's awesome. Quite surprised it hasn't been picked up yet.

Gustav_Graves

Anyone? Or is this really uninteresting compared to all the Marvel films and series :-P

I'm REALLY surprised no one on this forum picked this topic up. By jolly, it's a fantastic TV-series. The sensation of 2014 if I may say so. And one of the first productions from MGM on the TV-series format in years.

But that's besides the points. It's a marvellously casted TV-series. It oozes "Coen Brothers". Billy Bob Thornton is truly magnificent, and will most likely pick up a Golden Globe next year for his role as Lorne Malvo.

Every season will feature a particular timeframe. Season One was set 10 years after the events set in the 1996 movie "Fargo", in 2006. Season Two, will be set in 1979.

It was nice eh :-P? I can't wait to see Season 2. But why are seasons nowadays so small. Only 10 episodes?? Come onnnn.

Season 2 coming up :-D!! http://geektyrant.com/news/fargo-season-2-casting-jeffrey-donovan-and-nick-offerman :

"Series creator Noah Hawley already offered some details on the story, which will be set in Sioux Falls in 1979 and feature Lou Solverson, who is the father of Molly Solverson from Season 1. He is a 33-year-old veteran returning from the Vietnam War in the series. Hawley explained a little about why he went this route."

This was an enjoyable series. Anyone expecting this to be a remake or continuation of the film will be surprised that the two don't cross paths. Very dark and violent. Lots of surprises.

New season 2 trailer is online! I'm really looking forward to it ;-). Season 2 goes back to the 1970's and focuses on the parents and grandparents of the castmembers from seson 1:

I will be sure to watch Season 2. Too bad Martin Freeman isn't in it.
