Captain Colonial Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Anybody else been watching Fargo? Have to say this second series (which ends next Monday) has been some of the best TV I've seen this year. I hope it gets repeated as I'd watch it all again. Highly recommended. My favourite dialogue so far in the series, when the bad guy Mike is having a showdown at gunpoint with Highway Patrolman Lou: Mike Milligan: I like you. I met another fella from Minnesota yesterday. A big guy. Sheriff, I think. I liked him too. Lou Solverson: We're very friendly people. Mike Milligan: No, that's not it. Pretty unfriendly, actually. But it's the way you're unfriendly. How you're so polite about it. Like you're doing me a favour. Anyone else enjoying it? Quote
SootySport Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Only seen the original big screen version some years ago, thought it was F a n t a s t i c. Completely different approach to a film script and dialogue that throws you, never know whats coming next. Just never got around to watching the TV series. Is it as good as the Film? Quote

Completely different approach to a film script and dialogue that throws you, never know whats coming next. Just never got around to watching the TV series. Is it as good as the Film? YES. It's brilliant, in a similar vein but with different characters. Darkly violent and humorous, ripping and enthralling stuff. Episodes fly by. I shall miss it when it finishes. Critics have loved it too. Quote
SootySport Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I'll have to have a gander on Catch Up, Chan 4 is it? Quote

Stuart Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Wasn't that impressed with series 1 but will give it a go since you're raving about it Scott. Downloading now Quote
Captain Colonial Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 I confess that because I grew up in the 60s and early 70s on the South Dakota / Minnesota border where most of this series is based, much of the laconic dialogue, atmosphere and scenery is absolutely spot on, plus fine acting all round. Soundtrack is excellent as well. My favourite character is either Mike Mulligan or the drunken lawyer, but the whole thing is full of characters. Quote
Stuart Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I used to work with a bloke called Mike Mullighan! Currently working our way through Treme - you seen that? It's good. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted December 15, 2015 Author Posted December 15, 2015 Not seen that, but if you like it, I'll investigate! Quote
Stuart Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 About New Orleans alter Katrina. Intrigue and fabulous music. Made by the team that made The Wire 1 Quote
M444TTB Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I enjoyed the first series and in thriftiest episode or two didn't really gel with this follow up. However it's easily the best to series of 2015 if not longer. 1 Quote
