Yeah I just spent all weekend watching both the OG movie (which I hadnt seen before somehow!!) and then the 3 eps out so far of the series.
It is really fucking good. Billy Bob Thornton's manipulative, delighted menance is just.... so fucking perfect, I loved him.

Perhaps "bemused" is better than delighted but you can see he's loving the shit out of the horrible things he's doing.
The little twist last ep linking the events of the show to the events of the film was very cleverly done.
One thing it's lacking is the movie's undercurrent of profound sadness, but maybe that's coming later.

But in terms of pure watchability I honestly think there might not be anything better out there right now.

I dunno I think Martin Freeman does the crushed-under-heel hopeless everyman sadness rather well!

Perhaps we need a proper thread for the show.
If only for us two, Trayce:
We need a thread for the FARGO TV show yah? Oh, yah!
