Fargo the TV Version

[Keith]

This airs for the first time tonight in the UK, and it promises to be decent at least. The cast includes the likes of Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton and Colin Hanks, and at least has the Coen's approval.

When I first heard this I thought it was a strange one to remake for TV, but am willing to give it a shot. Anyone else seen it or planning on watching?

Sadly I only get the first episode, every episode after that is provided by a different cable company. I do want to watch it, but unless it shows up on Netflix in Canada, I doubt I will have the chance.

On the other hand, From Dusk Til Dawn has been amazing, so I think it is possible to do the movie justice, and expand the lore.

The cast is top notch, so it has some promise there. I might watch it after the season's done, but I think the movie is overrated. It was a really good movie, don't get me wrong, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I was supposed to.

I am planning on giving that show a watch too. That sounds an odd system you have in Canada.

Yeah I remember thinking the same when I saw it, because many people rate it as one of their best films its a film I've been meaning to revisit.

Anyway, the first part was really good, I got hooked on the characters straight away, it had many more funny moments than I remember from the film, but the tone is quite similar. Very good so far.

Its one channel is showing the premier to try and advertise their new channel, but my provider does not carry the new one yet. I finally gave in to Netflix just so I could watch From Dusk Til Dawn since I don't get El Ray.

 

[John McHenry]

Watched 2-3 episodes and stopped. I found nothing about it that compelled me to continue watching.

 

[Deezy]

It's pretty boring imo, got crazy recommended like True Detective and like that show, doesn't live up to the hype i hear about it.

 

[Keith]

Just watched Episode six and am still enjoying it, although I can see little signs than they are starting to struggle to keep the premise going. Also have to wonder if Malvo is intelligent then way didn't he just get a first class degree and get rich in a top professional, would have saved him a lot of time and running from the law

Still pretty great IMO.

 

[Chris]

Honestly, I just watched all of this and I enjoyed this show a lot. The cast delivered and the writing was great (although there were a few plotholes, but minor ones at that). I don't see how people didn't enjoy this show, although most that have watched it seemed to have liked it. To each his own though.

 

[Keith]

No am with you on this one thought it has been one of the best new dramas of the year. I hear there will be no season two which is a bit of a shame, still maybe best to go out on top form.

 

[Chris]

I'm fine with no season two because this was the best story they could have told and it's obviously done.

Also, best line of the series: "Well, shit Lester."

 

[Marty McFourth]

Old thread bump, saves me making a new one.

Has anyone kept up with this? I thought Season 1 with Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton was excellent but never got around to the rest.

That's a dope cast for Season 5.

He also can be seen in National Geographic’s limited series Valley of the Boom and in Sony’s recent release, Bloodshot, opposite Vin Diesel, and in Danny Boyle’s feature film, Yesterday. Morris is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360 and Myman Greenspan Fox.

Moorjani is known for her role in the Netflix/Mindy Kaling dramedy Never Have I Ever, which recently wrapped production on the fourth and final season. Moorjani is repped by A3 Artists Agency, Anonymous Content and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman.

 

[Chris]

Seasons 1 and 2 were phenomenal but I didn't keep up myself either. Have been thinking about jumping back in tho

 

[Marty McFourth]

Tempted to just dive back in from Season 5 and work my way backwards. Seeing as the stories are all different anyways.

Jon Hamm in Fargo sounds really promising.



The long-awaited fifth season of Fargo has an official trailer.

Below is a detailed look at the new season of showrunner Noah Hawley‘s crime anthology series, which has Juno Temple (Ted Lasso) leading an ensemble cast.

The new installment is set in Minnesota and North Dakota in the most modern period for the franchise yet: 2019.
