The original Fargo movie is one of my all time favourites, so I'm interested to see how it plays out as a TV series. Cast looks pretty good!

Will be watching the Pilot episode later.

It was an excellent start, they have managed to keep the tone of the movie and yet make it different enough, for a standalone show.
Definitely will be tuning in for the next 9 episodes.
It's not on Sky, Fargo starts in the UK on 20th April, 9pm, Channel 4
Absolutely brilliant!
Fargo the TV series is exclusively on the Netherlands region from today. One episode every week straight after it's USA broadcast.
Similar to how the UK was given the last series of Breaking Bad.
Episode one is now up so no need to wait til Sunday for the Ch4 screening.
And for those without access to multi-region Netflix, get yerself some Unblock Us and open the floodgates, entirely legally!
(seriously, who pays for UK netflix and actually watches UK netflix?!)
Given that the majority of Minnesota residents are of Scandinavian and German descent and that Martin Freeman plays Lester Nygaard, I think that it works personally.
Okaaaay, thanks for the history lesson, still doesn't explain why MF sounded Scottish at times though!
certainly not much on there.. in fact, if I could only get UK netflix I wouldn't bother subscribing. We're always discovering gems on the various regions we have access too!
It was an excellent start to the show, wasn't sure what to expect but I'm hooked! roll on next week!
Did he *deliberately* get himself pulled over so he could deliver a threat?
That's certainly what it seems like.
Topped off by BBT's response to being threatened in his hotel room by the old school heavy. Never seen anything like it, but it had me in stitches! LOL!
How do you respond when a man does that to you??
BBT's is full of wit and menace all at the same time, great performance from him in this.
This is already must see TV for me! Great show.
Of course. He enjoys messing with people; the boy sweeping in the car park, the phone call to the son, visiting the man he's going to kill, telling Martin Freeman he didn't say 'no' (to the killing), etc.
Not so much a theme in the drama as a character trait.
He changed his mind with Hanks though, and gave him a way out (once he heard his daughter).
BBT steals the shoppers car just for the fun of it. Or was he driving Lester's car and wanted to dump it. So he went for a BOGOF type deal. Grimly got the plate number when he stopped BBT. Will that lead back to Lester, who said his car was in the shop.
Molly is miffed at being taken off of the Chief's murder inquiry. But if she takes lead on the thing that started all of this, BBT running off the road, she'll end up back at Lester's house anyway?
Loved Molly and Gus together. He knows he did wrong letting BBT go on the traffic stop, even though we can totally sympathise with his reasons for doing so. His need to be there to take care of his daughter overrides his sense of duty. Molly knew straight why Gus chickened out. Did she give him a mouthful about being a coward? No, she took him for burger and shakes. In that moment I really warmed to Molly. She's a smart cop who is steadfast in her duty to her fallen brother officer, but is also compassionate with it.
Gus maybe should about a transfer to animal control though.:D
