Everyone north of I-80.

 

[Wingznut]

Just watched last night's premiere... So brilliant!

The reviews are coming in...

FX's 'Fargo' reinvents the Coen brothers movie as something new and wonderful.

9.0 Amazing
With rich and zany characters, darkly comedic violence, and a tantalizing mystery on tap, Fargo is well-worth watching.

The first episode started out pretty slow, but it ended great.

So many damn annoying Audi commercials - even with the DVR it was annoying.

 

[wabbitslayer]

Fantastic. Exceeded all my expectations.

There should be much more buzz about this show. It didn't end with a cliffhanger, but I was sitting there after thinking "I can't wait to see what happens next week!"

 

[MongGrel]

Was skeptical, I'll have to check it out.

 

[Gibsons]

Liked it. Felt very much like the movie.

 

[Drako]

Billy Bob plays always seems to play a great sociopath - he delivers again here. Many of the scenes in this first episode are corny, but hey, it's Minnesota.

I managed to get through the first "failed insurance scene" before I started nodding off...and changed the channel.

I still have it in the DVR and will try again. I WANT to like the show...it has great promise.

The last 25 minutes (not including the commercials) are great. You should have stayed awake, or watched it at 7:00 like I did on the west coast.

LOL... That's like four minutes into the series.

 

[Drako]

LOL, give him credit. It was passed the first commercial, which was after 20 minutes.

edit: Keep in mind that he reviews that you posted are for more than the 1st episode.

By "failed insurance scene", I figured he meant when Lester tried to sell the young pregnant couple a life insurance plan... Which was like four minutes into the show.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Other than the ridiculous accents, it was good.

:biggrin: Yep...that's the scene... :whiste:

 

[Wingznut]

It wouldn't be Fargo without the accents.

 

[wabbitslayer]

Being from the southern U.S., I've learned to ignore basically all accents that are done in movies/TV. The "southern" ones that are always done are ridiculous and sound nothing like anyone around here or the surrounding states.....I figure the same holds true for Minnesota and the Dakotas, and every other region.

BTW....I agree with those who say it moved slowly at the beginning, but you had to know something was coming...(and did it ever).

You've never seen Fargo?

 

[gamefreakgcb]

I just saw the movie last week. Still have to finish the last 1 or 2 minutes.

 

[BoomerD]

OK...I FINALLY made it through the first episode. I laughed my ass off for much of it.

Well Done, FX.
