Fargo - The Series
There isn't a thread yet (which maybe means no ones been watching), but this take on the Coen brothers' film is compulsive, addictive viewing.
A chance meeting between a bullied, belittled husband (Martin Freeman, superb) and a hitman (Billy Bob Thornton, phenomenal) begins a multi- layered story of eccentric characters embroiled in murder, deceit and betrayal.
The series focuses first on Lester Nygard (Freeman) and the transformation he undergoes as his life goes into freefall, and in some strange way, you almost root for him as the complex web grows. Enter at, this point, the tenacious, determined Deputy played by Alison Tolman, fighting her boss and the odds to find the truth as the body count rises.
Billy Bob's hitman Lorne Malvo is riviting. You actually like him at points! Laconic, devious, philosophical and cold blooded, he brings great depth to the character. His actions don't go un-noticed though and two guys turn up from outta town....
Compelling, shocking and often hilarious, Fargo stays faithful to its namesake. Fabulously well acted, well written and full of style and intelligence with a hauntingly beauitful music score.
It's nearing the end now. Catch up with 4OD!!
