Fargo (TV series)

Seen, very promising. Meth Damon looks healthier.

He looks too healthy - they used a body double for the topless shot when he was supposed to be starving, and a concave mirror for his shaving scene. Didn't really work though. Someone like Christian Bale would have actually starved himself.:thumbs:

Wut?

Is that meant for The Martian thread? :D
 
I'm glad C4 has the UK rights to this. I believe it's Fox in the US, so I'm surprised Sky hasn't grabbed it and put it on its pay channels.
 
Not a bad start, although I felt the absence of Alison Tollman, and my namesake of course. I was a bit worried about the risk of aren't-the-seventies-hilarious-ness but they haven't overplayed that.

Dunst in particular was great - it's pleasingly difficult to read which direction her character's going to go in.
 
I guess that's inevitable. The 'Minnesota-nice vs Minnesota-nasty' setting is what distinguishes the whole 'brand'. So either they do another crime-thriller plot with that backdrop, or they do something else which is then no longer Fargo.
 
Promising start, nothing wildly different, but that is part of the point. Looks good, the seventies styles really fit dull as anything Minnesota. Good to see Ron Swanson having fun, and it took an age to realise where I recognised Rye from....his big bro Macaulay, of course!
 
I didn't even recognise Kirsten Dunst.

e2a: And her husband is 'Okie piece of shit' Todd from Breaking Bad :eek:
 
And *spoiler alert*, Lou's wife is played by

Cristin Miliotti, AKA The Mother from HIMYM
 
Hmm - close proximity of the Waffle House, and aliens appearing in a one-horse town to some small-time loser. Have the writers been watching old Bill Hicks shows?
When he was driving to the waffle house I couldn't help feeling it had too much of the feel of one of those nineties documentaries about alien abduction to be coincidental.
