Fargo - C4

That scene then with Betsy and Karl was great.

Good stuff again.

I think angry fat Fernando Alonso let his niece go though.

So what are the symbols in the study about? I didn't get that bit.

Yup, felt that.

Me neither, although that's what'll make next week's episode even more enticing.

The ending was interesting - how did Ed get Milligan's private phone number? Is he in fact The Butcher of Luverne, rather than just the butcher of Luverne? Can't wait for next week.

So is she dead dead or Jon Snow dead? Wee nod to Miller's Crossing?

That's what makes the show so good. We don't know. I suspect she'll turn up in the last episode and personally kill Mike Milligan. Cuts his bits off.

Morton's Fork, series 1

Lou Solverson: One other time, winter of 1979. Minus 4 degrees. Sat on a dark porch from dusk till dawn. Your stepmom was inside sleeping. Four years old.
Greta Grimly: Who did you think was coming?
Lou Solverson: It wasn't a question of who, more like what.
Greta Grimly: Did it come?
Lou Solverson: Not that night. But soon after.

I think the Sherrif has been trying to study the lights.

Series one dialogue? Hmmmm. They've been layering?

I had to look up the saying.

Great series. I hate having to wait another week for the next though

I said that to my girlfriend - great little nod to Miller's Crossing. The setup (execution in the forest) and the same top-down camera angles.

I love this program.

It makes things like The Walking Dead (which annoyed me again last night with its usual retarded simplistic writing) look like the trash they are.

[unrepentant]

Better than the first series IMHO. Excellent acting all round and a great story. I think Bokeem Woodbine (Milligan) has been exceptional and Nick Offerman plays the lawyer with just the right amount of slapstick. Best show of the season.

[Halb]

I think Fargo is juxtaposed with True Detective.

TD= sublime first series, decent second series
F= very good first series, exceptional second series.

I wonder how many series they have planned?

[Beati Dogu]

As long as it's popular I'm sure they'll be happy to carry on season by season.

It must print Emmy awards and nominations for all concerned.

Yes, but after reading the above, I wonder how many they have planned. With the forethought of what comes next.

Am enjoying this second series more than the first, and the first wasn't too shabby!

[oddball1973]

I'm preferring this second series - agree that Malvo was pure badass but I've never liked Martin Freeman, I just never thought he's that good an actor, he just plays the same bumbling, slightly socially incompatible Arthur Dent like character in everything.

I wondered last night whether Ed is actually the ultimate sleeper and turns out to be the head of a major crime syndicate doing a bit of 'wet work' himself

Maybe his wife, too. She did defeat and escape from those three goons, after all...

I'll never look at window cleaners the same way again.
