I never really connected with Fargo the first couple of times (had trouble getting beyond all those "yah"s initially), but now I watch it every couple of years and count it as an all-time favourite. Two things I noticed last night: 1) how John Carroll Lynch (Marge's husband) is the guy who plays Arthur Leigh Allen in Zodiac--he nicely underplays both characters, but they couldn't be farther apart as to how you perceive them; 2) Marge says "You betcha" at one point, thereby joining Edith Prickley as a blueprint for you-know-who.

Methinks the reason they put it in the film, and the reason for Marges surprise when she learned he was lying, is because she felt sorry for him and boned him. They had to cut that out though, because she was pregnant. Just a thought.

Struggling for Dignity
Is this the only time in the last twenty years that anything good has ever accompanied the phrase "Wake up, America!"?

From what I've read, the show seems "loosely based on" the movie. It's not the exact same characters but similar types.

Best Coen Brothers movie

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!
