I'm starting it tonight. I watched half of the first episode last week. I'm gonna start it over. I've heard nothing but great things about it.
 
It is a great series. It's easy to see Coen bros influence throughout. Billy Bob Thornton is his best since Bad Santa.
 
Great show so far. Ive seen first 3 episodes so far. Thorton is the s***! Martin Freeman is also good. Going to start watching the next few soon.
 
I wasn't sure about this, but I'm glad to see there are people on here enjoying. Is it a case by case type of series or is there an overlapping storyline the show concentrates on?
 
Ive seen the first 5 episodes now i think it will be only 10 episodes long. Show is great and has a great feel towards the movie. It is one story with all the characters told over the season. Saw something yesterday did not read it all because of spoilers but i think season 2 will be all new characters and a new story.
 
Watched all that have aired so far (8 episodes) damn this show has been great. One of the best series i have seen in long time. They have done an amazing job turning this into a tv show. Will win some awards.
 
It's sooooo good! It just gets better and more insane each episode!

I'll probably get the blu-ray to rewatch someday.
 
So how's everyone's progress goin' with this show eh?

I feel like I'm the only one watching this as it airs. Honestly envy those of you who can come in late and take it in at will, I want the last episode so bad and I've wanted the next episode like that for the last few.

Just watched the second last episode I believe, so next episode it all goes down in some way.

This is right up there with the best HBO stuff ever IMO. At this point the relation to the Fargo movie doesn't even really matter, this show is its own thing based on that idea and it's incredibly satisfying. I don't even know what I want to happen or how it could disappoint me I'm just sitting back and watching in awe and anticipation!
 
I called it. I wondered if there would be a spin off based on this and boom. Here it is.

The news that FX had picked up Fargo for a Season 2 broke earlier today, but here are a few more details to come out of the Television Critics Association Press Tour. Writer-producer Noah Hawley capped off FX's day of show panels by dishing out some information about next season - which won't premiere until fall 2015 at the earliest.

Season 2 will take place in 1979 and focus on Lou Solverson (the characterKeith Carradine played in Season 1). It'll be a 33-year-old version of Lou, a state cop recently back from fighting in the Vietnam War. Molly will be four years old and we'll meet her mother (discovering what ultimately happened to her in the process).

It will be set in Sioux Falls, Luverne and Fargo, so we'll be able to visit with the violent Sioux Falls incident Lou referenced in the episode "A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage."

Season 2 will draw its influences from three Coen brothers films - Fargo, Miller's Crossing & The Man Who Wasn't There.

The first season drew its influences from Fargo, No Country for Old Men, and A Serious Man.

Production on Season 2 will begin in January. Hawley noted that they were rushed during Season 1 (having about half the time that True Detective had for production), so now he'd like a longer post-production process.

Am so happy they did this.

Awesome.

I believe season one also has some call back to The Big Lebowski as well. I remember hearing a name and I immediately thought of The Big Lebowski.

I did not catch this myself by they did have a sign up for a drink called the White Russian, which is in Big Lebowski.

Have you seen the movie, The Man Who Wasn't There ? Pretty sure it is on Sky Demand, might give it a watch tomorrow.

I've seen TMWWT before but it's been so long.

They mentioned someone with the last name of Knutsen.

@ 1:20.

 
Just finished watching Season 1. I really need to watch more Coen Bros films.

Anywho, pretty enjoyable season, with fun, yet suspenseful drama. The deep and dramatic music contrasted hilariously with some of the comically funny scenes. I liked this show as much as True Detective (although the "this is a true story" claim started to bug me towards the end of the season).

The whole series reminded me of the movie, "Magnolia," which is one of my favorite films of all time.

Looking forward to Season 2.

pretty great so far two episodes in.

looks like this season is only 7 episodes though :(

someone should really make a Fargo TV series thread, it's too good to not have one! (I'm not skilled at making official threads)

Yeah, the first 2 episodes have been good.

7 episodes seems a bit short, though, but as long as it is 7 quality episodes then I will not be complaining.
 
The first two episodes were an hour and a half long. I guess that explains why the season is shorter. If all the episodes are this long it works out.

The first two episodes were awesome. I loved the homage it payed to the movie.
 
I'm recording it, but haven't watched it yet. Loved the first season and the trailers for this season look great.

Looks like there IS 10 episodes, not only 7 like I reported before. I think the wiki episode guide just didn't have the info on the last 3 episodes when I looked a couple months ago.

Yay!!!!!
