Synopsis:

An original adaptation of the Academy Award®-winning feature film, Fargo features an all-new “true crime” story and follows a new case and new characters, all entrenched in the trademark humor, murder and “Minnesota nice” that made the film an enduring classic. Oscar® winner Billy Bob Thornton stars as “Lorne Malvo,” a rootless, manipulative man who meets and forever changes the life of small town insurance salesman “Lester Nygaard,” played by BAFTA Award® winner and Emmy®-nominated Martin Freeman. Colin Hanks plays Duluth Police Deputy “Gus Grimly,” a single dad who must choose between his own personal safety and his duty as a policeman when he comes face-to-face with a killer. Allison Tolman also stars as “Molly Solverson,” an ambitious Bemidji deputy.

Rounding out Fargo’s colorful cast of recurring characters will be Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk as “Deputy Bill Oswalt,” Golden Globe™ and Emmy-nominated Oliver Platt as “Stavros Milos,” Screen Actors Guild Award® winner Kate Walsh as “Gina Hess,” Glenn Howerton (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as “Don Chumph,” Joey King as “Greta Grimly,” Peter Breitmayer as “Lieutenant Schmidt,” Tom Musgrave as “Bo Munk,” Josh Close as “Chazz Nygaard,” Russell Harvard as “Mr. Wrench” and Adam Goldberg as “Mr. Numbers.”

A 10-episode limited series, Fargo is written by Noah Hawley. Emmy Award-winning director Adam Bernstein directed the premiere hour. Hawley, Warren Littlefield, Joel & Ethan Coen and Geyer Kosinski serve as executive producers. Fargo is produced by FX Productions and MGM Television.

I already counted myself in from its first announcement, but I have to say that I'm getting more and more interested with each new ad I see for this. I'm really looking forward to this.

[hagios]

Another show I'll be looking at....will our DVR hold up with all these TV shows I have to watch!

The dude doesn't abide.

Some early word of mouth seems to suggest this is one worth watching and worthy of the Coen brother heritage.

Also the UK promos for this have been way better than the US promos I've seen, they use Carter Burwell's original theme and it definitely seems like the creators have nailed the feel.

DVR has been set.

Fargo is one of my all-time favorite films, so I'm really curious how this will turn out.

How far can you stretch a story about a dude that wants a new carpet?

Looking forward to this, it's getting pretty good things being said about it

[demonknight]

Well, that was one of the best hour and a half's worth of television I have ever watched.

Glad to hear it was good. I recorded it so I'll watch it within the next day or so.

Really? I didn't think it came close to the film at all. To me, it felt much more like a direct-to-DVD mockbuster by The Asylum.

It's not supposed to come close to the film, just a companion to it. I thought it did a helluva job. The Coen brothers did a great job putting this together, in my opinion. This is going to be a fun ride.

Ten minutes in.. ugh... this is what I was waiting for? ugh
