Fargo (TV Series)

Film ending is odd as you don't find out if the kidnapped wife is dead or not and why the kidnapper never took her to the ransom handover, when he gets back he asked what happened to her.

^From the sheepish look on the big dude's face, and the way she is sprawled out on the floor, I reckon she kept yammering until he broke her neck.

Well, in my opinion, a disappointing EP10 conclusion to SEA2, especially after a kick-ass EP9.

Strange the way they took their foot off the gas for that last episode but still a scorcher of a show overall.

I hope the 'simple midwest folk caught out of their depth in crime' dynamic doesn't wear thin as it has worked so well in the movie and both series.

After the massive disappointment of True Detective II what a relief that Fargo S02 works at least as well as the excellent S01.

When they stuck Mike in his cubicle, was that an IBM Selectric II on the desk? "Not just for girls any more

I was expecting them to zoom in on the 'new model typewriter' in that scene for a joke but they didn't.

..and did you notice this song got a run out in Fargo Season 2? Big Lebowski tribute?

Lots of tunes lifted from Coen brothers movies. Quite a few covers from songs from O Brother, Where Art Thou?

watched the the first few episodes of Season two and lost interest

That is a joke right?

[Mr Earl]

I just watched season 1, the Warren Malvo character was quite brilliant.

Off to find season 2....alrighty then.

Another point of trivia I just realized. Remember the case full of cash the bully dug up in SEA1EP1 which he used to start up his trucking company?

That was the bulk of the buried ransom money from the kidnapping in Fargo the movie.

So the movie also ties in......

Yeah, when I saw that opener, I had to go and watch the original movie again. Good to do before the series. Excellent stuff.

Wife just finished the movie, and seasons 1 & 2. I've watched it all twice. Now a one-year wait for season 3! Bummer.

Anyway, you've sold me on it. I'll check it out (after Boardwalk Empire & Wolf Hall are done with), and I'm thinking there is much more merit to the series than a cynical marketing exploit off the Coen bros excellent 'Fargo' movie. Hope I'm right!

[Davis Knowlton]

I doubt very much that you will be disappointed.
