Fargo - C4

[Janluke]

Great acting all round I though, I loved the filming style.
The plot and story telling didnt quite do it for me. Having said that it was so much better then 99% of TV output

Was it just me or did he have a brummy accent?

Yeah, pure evil.

Certainly had a brummy suit

How good was David Thewlis acting in this series?!?!

Absolutely brilliant I thought - he stole every scene he was in.

I thought he was absolutely superb. Exactly the right degree of menace...

Without him, and his character, this series would have been lost!

Something I need explaining, I might have missed.. what did the opening scene: the Nazi interigation, have to do with anything?

Anyway, just learnt that David Thewlis was once married to Anna Friel. Lucky chap!

Funnily enough, I felt the same.

I don't think a 4th series will be made but we will see.

Easily the best part of the series.

Thewlis was an absolute revelation in the part. Wasn't a fan before seeing this but that part was portrayed brilliantly by him. If you watch the lobby scene again everything was in the face.

Agreed that Thewlis is just plain brilliant.

I liked the explanation FWD:

...I especially liked the point at the end:

article said:

"They're all trapped and none of it really makes any sense, but nothing in Fargo tends to make much sense. Things in Fargo just happen, leaving the characters to pick up the pieces."

I think this sums it up nicely; then you realise it's just best to go with it and enjoy the little things (and stop worrying about the plot - that'll take care of itself!)

Season 4 trailer, it's out in April on Hulu. Hopefully it's in the UK at the same time on C4 or Netflix. This one is set in 1950, African Americans and Italian mob.

Woohoo

[cuprabob]

Looks good

[eccles]

That looks good!
As one of the comments said on YouTube, Chris Rock and Timothy Olyphant, WooHoo!

[Halb]

Not watched it but...after seeing Timothy Olyphant mentioned, yes. Watched him over many years i JUstified. He has the best slow burn on tv, can't think of one better. He's equal to Mel Gibson.

Series 4 starts Sunday 10pm on Channel 4.

Thanks for heads up.

[eccles]

Prepare to be disappointed.

I do so hope not - the previous three series have all been brilliant, especially Billy Bob Thornton's character and David Thewlis' character (S1, and S3 respectively) and the general bleak life and times in Minnesota.

I'm not even very demanding here, it just needs to be enjoyable nonsense, well filmed, with a smattering of oddball characters well played - hell, it even turned out that Martin Freeman was "right" for his character!

[GetCarter]

Re-watched S2 recently... just loved:

[Don Veloci]

Latest series still watchable, just not great.

Struggled with Chris Rock in the head of the family role. Doesn't seem to carry the same presence on screen as Glynn Turman.

Ben Wishaw was fine though and while some episodes seem flat, going no where, just that bit off, I liked how it all tied up.
