Just finished the last 3 episodes of Fargo. Believe the hype, it's fukking good. The creators really capture the look, feel & flavor of the original film while still making something fresh and new. The first time I saw Fargo, the movie, I was 22 or 23. Back then, I didn't get the odd humor and distinct geographical vibe and quirkiness. Those elements are what make the series and prior film so brilliant (beyond the spectacular writing and storytelling). It lifts the show to a higher standard than your typical crime drama. We can get into spoilers or whatever amongst those who have seen the TV series, but I'll just say that if you saw the film and loved it, I'm fairly certain you'll have the same feelings for the show. HIGHLY recommended!!
