I don't know cos I went thru something similar with Banshee s2.
Checked IMDB before season started and saw the ep number for a MAIN cast member indicated they weren't in them all, and with them being a main character this thus indicated their death 1/2 thru the series. So to 'save' others from this spoiler I went around to various forums to recommend people stay of IMDB until season's end. Come season's end and I went back to IMDB to find they'd updated the information.. doh!!
If I'm loving a series and want to avoid any+all spoilers and someone suggests I keep away from IMDB, even if it turns out they were wrong I might as well do as suggested just in case they're not.
Equally Damien Lewis wasn't in several episodes of Homeland last season, he wasn't dead, he just didn't appear in the episodes. And Claire Danes, the show's lead missed an episode of Homeland last season, she wasn't dead either...
Not every character appears in every episode of Game of Thrones either, without being dead.
I haven't seen the original Coens' film so i can only judge by what i saw on the night. I thought Fargo was brilliant! Really, really enjoyed it. Martin Freeman really suited the role of Lester and played him to a tee. I thought Billy Bob Thornton was utterly excellent as Lorne. Every time he was on screen i was glued to my seat and utterly captivated by his performance. The guy is a psycho! Loved the dark humour in the show and was gutted when the sheriff was killed off but saw it coming. The violence is brutal though. Colin Hank's character looks interesting and i wonder if he'll go chasing after Lorne or leave well alone?
Anyway i'm in for the rest of the series and have heard it just gets better and better.
I'm chewing at the bit waiting for Episode 2, not since last month and "True Detective" have I really wanted to watch the next episode of something!
Good acting, script, story etc etc.
As for plot details ;
I saw hitman go into the cellar doorway, I assume he secreted himself cunningly while all the cops arrived, then escaped later, maybe that's why he was driving like a loony. Washing-machine maybe?
Also, the dumb brother attacked the dumber borther with a hockeystick, not a shovel.
I'm expecting ice-fishing-cafe-owner-father to do a bit of a "history of violence" later.
When Billy Bob Thornton's character was listening to his old message from Martin Freeman, he suddenly had a flashback to his client's wife's personal trainer saying something about having a tan, or something like that? Why?

There was fake tan on the back of the note.so it seems that the trainer sent the letter.

Any ideas why he was listening to the message ??
I didn't like this anywhere as much as the first episode
I had a 'woo!' moment when watching last night's episode 2. The neighborhood where I lived in Calgary is where they filmed part of it. The grocery store where BBT goes in to talk to that Stavros guy is actually a store called Family Foods, we used to shop there all the time. I had no idea it was filmed in Canada, I figured they would have filmed it in North Dakota, where Fargo is.
How did Billy Bob Thornton get out of the basement??
It has been suggested that when Lester went to answer the door to the policeman he might have decided to not go down into the cellar after all and may have suddenly darted into the kitchen or somewhere.

You might want the US Pace thread...
Was going to ask the same
Had a shifty on tinternet and it seems claiming its based on fact is all part of the Coen brothers style so it's not true! Kinda relieved
Have a funny feeling the female cop is gonna be a gonner sooner rather than later..

The guy is a serial killer so probably ensuring he remembers everything about that night so that if ever questioned he never gives anything away.
This is what the store looks like:

I didn't spot it at the time. Just watched the recording and it is glaring.

To see what information he can get from it for scheming purposes?
He knows that the telephone call from Lester is very incriminating evidence against Lester, and so he can use it against him if needs be I suppose.
