Fargo

[Van Basten II]

As usual am always late to parties, started watching the series being a Cohen Brothers fan was not sure if I should and whether I'd have the time.. Saw the first episode, must say I was enthralled by what I saw. You could see it as an hommage to the universe of the Cohens films not just a long version of one of their major film.

From the first episode among the tip to other films, you obviously have Billy Bob Thornton's character who is playing the Javier Bardem's character from No country , in the blink you will miss it category , in one of the places we visit we see a poster for a special on white russians , anything else I miss ?

Anyone else followed the series .

I thought it was very entertaining and I watched it on broadcast, and bought the Blu-ray to watch again soon. The Blu-ray came with a Fargo knit cap that has come in handy this winter.

Followed it and loved it. It exceeded my expectations and I've since watched it all again.

I'll bet that wooly hat came in handy, seems you've been having a harsh 'Fargo' winter.

Yes, it's been bad, especially way on the othert side of the city where my fiancee lives that gets twice the snow here on this side. Lots of shoveling!

Will be interesting to see how the second season (which I believe is to take place a generation or so earlier with a take from Carradine's character's past) turns out.

I liked Fargo too.

I watched it on TV last year, the old-fashioned way (one episode a week). I enjoyed it a lot at the time, though I felt a few holes developed in the story. Lots of parallels with the film of the same name, which I am sure you will spot as you continue watching.
