    An excellent movie of which a serial starts this Sunday.

    One of my favourite movies it never struck me as summat they could make a serial out of. However, with Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman in it makes me think it's going to be as curious as the original movie.

    Time to resurrect this thread now that we're a couple of episodes in.

    I'm really enjoying it, but I've never seen the film so I've got nothing to compare it with.

    It's not the same story as the film but is a homage to it ...

    The series is really good so far ... Freeman and Thornton are excellent.

    It's a fair bit funnier than I remember the movie being.

    As Pud said it's an homage to the movie and 2 episodes in it's certainly keeping to the look and feel and black humour of the movie, as well as the music.

    I did think Freeman was inadvertently losing the Minnesota accent too often. Ya? Ya.

    "Fargo" is a Coen's classic. Black humour as best as I think I've ever seen it.
