That intro was shared with the movie. It was a joke by the Coens in the original movie and the show is paying homage to that. None of them (the movie or either season of the show) was actually based on real events.
I'm also intrigued by the intro claiming that it's a true story. In the first season, they made repeated reference to what happened 20 (or however many) years ago. So the implication is that this is going to be similarly surreal but based on actual events.
She put on some lbs for the role and... well... she's a hell of an actress.
Who was the guy in the barn?
Since they're looking for Rye, maybe he was an associate - although I'm not sure they were convinced he was missing at that point. So probably some who owed money.With the (lack of) ears?
Not sure. His story/role might come up again later, or it was just thrown in there for a WTF?!!? moment and to show that the dude does not F around.

I like the actors, all first rate. Of course the plot is different, but it feels too much like it's trying to recreate the magic and the same tone of the first season. And it just isn't there.
We have the same smattering of psychos, the same yeah-sure-you-betcha cops with bad accents, the same Joe Citizen element drawn into hiding a crime. It feels like it's following a template, and in only the second season, that isn't good.
I don't care if it isn't the same magic as the first season. It's awesome. Much better season 2 than true detective.
Actually I think they have captured the same magic as Season 1
The overall cast of characters is better.
Agreed. I really hate Dodd. lol
Just when I thought I really hated Peggy, she pwned with the cattle prod. lol
First time I saw that actor was in the sopranos episode where he played the gangster rapper trying to get money from Hesh.
EDIT: actually he played in The Rock in 96. lol
It's funny you mention that because Amazon is running an ad campaign where they talk about the show-hole. You binge watch 52 episodes of something and when you're finally finished, you're overcome by this feeling of emptiness and loss.I'm loving this season. It's hard to wait a week in between episodes when it only took me a day to watch the first season. Alas, I've gone through this with a number of shows.
It's definitely gotten better and found its own voice. It's been a fantastic series. Milligan reciting Jabberwocky was awesome.
