I went in with pretty low expectations and I've been really impressed.

It took me an episode or three to wash the memories of the movie out of my mind. It really stands on its own as a great show.

 

[SAWYER]

I never watched the movie but I just watched the first episode and really liked it

 

[purbeast0]

yeah i don't remember the movie at all but this show is great. it's very well done. i loved the cinematography when they were out in the snow storm as well. just very well done.

 

[postmortemIA]

pretty much universal acclaim at this point.

great shows have awesome pilot; this was not an exception.

I concur purbeast0! :beer;

lester fucking the chick from behind hard enough to knock the picture off the wall was funny.

 

[Wingznut]

This show is absolutely phenomenal.

As for the original movie... I watch it regularly with four other people. 2 loved the movie, 1 thought it was meh, 2 haven't seen it... And we all like the series equally. It stands on it's own.

Edit: Although, those of us who have seen the movie really appreciate the nods to the original flick.

 

[KLin]

WTF episode of the series, yes?

Why was it WTF for you? The one year time advance?

 

[KLin]

Yes that.

 

[Printer Bandit]

2 episodes left.

 

[Kyle]

2 episodes left.

Just read that...sad...wish it was a little longer but who knows how they wrap it up- I've loved it so far.

 

[MrColin]

I don't watch many TV shows but this is amazing. Could you expect any less from the Cohens?

I'm confused about one thing, the money that the grocery store owner found, is it the bag that was left by the guy in the movie?

Oh ya... The red ice scraper was the key indicator, don't ya know. (He says in his best Fargo accent...)

Yes, it was. "Evil begets evil", as it were. Remember, the grocery King, (forget his name, sadly) had very religious underpinnings, which is why he went bananas when Malvo did the "Plague of Locusts" thing in his main store, etc. So, I think there's been an undercurrent of "evil begets evil" in the show. And also the corruption of Lester by Malvo.......

 

[Wingznut]

Lester sending his wife in to the insurance shop (in the orange coat, no less) was quite possibly the most evil doing in this show... And that says a lot!

Hell yes it was. I was thinking the whole time "Wow what a complete asshole. He deserves 2 life sentences for 2 counts of murder."

lol

 

[Meghan54]

And it seems to me that Lester's slow transformation into something resembling Malvo is well on its way.

 

[SAWYER]

Amazing show
