Re: Fargo [TV]
43I plowed through the first season over the past couple of weeks. I liked it, even found it gripping at times (e.g., Freeman fleeing Vegas, constantly looking over his shoulder for BBT) but then... the show weirdly leaves next to no aftertaste. The creators' prime focus seemed to be capturing the look of the movie (if not the Coens' fine use of dialogue) and stacking the episodes with not-so-subtle callbacks to said film. It's a textbook shaggy dog story. It's got nothing on True Detective.
Season 2 sounds promising, especially if they can get past all the homages to the original movie.

LOL. yeah, i always remember reagan as having a chin that could kill.DH wrote:Bruce Campbell To Play Reagan In "Fargo"
Beloved "Evil Dead" and "Burn Notice" actor Bruce Campbell is set to guest star as Ronald Reagan for a one-episode appearance on the second season of FX's acclaimed anthology series "Fargo".
Set in the late 1970s, the story takes place during Reagan's first campaign for President, during which he does a trip through Fargo and some of the season's key characters have some interactions with him. Some of his movies are also a part of the show.
Campbell has been involved with "Fargo" before, playing a bit role as an actor in a soap opera which Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare's characters watch in the original 1996 Coen brothers movie.
Production on the ten episode second season is currently underway in Calgary ahead of a premiere in the Fall.

Re: Fargo [TV]
56Stunning finale, great callbacks to No Country, and the fucking Raising Arizona bit at the beginning just knocked me to the floor. Brilliant, sad inversion.
