Unrelated... rewatched the Hobbit the other day and couldn't help but see a fidgety Lester Nygaard instead of Bilbo.

Season 2 Cast shaping up:

Lou Solverson will be played by Patrick Wilson who I'm not familiar with. Ted Danson, Jesse Plemmons and Kirsten Dunst also listed with the main cast. I like Danson and Plemmons a lot. Dunst is... intriguing. Not sure about her acting chops, but there is something about her with just kind of a pleasant demeanor that I think could work in this setting.

The recurring cast is what really has potential to make this great in my opinion. Brad Garrett, Jeffrey Donovan, Kieren Culkin, and Nick Freakin' Offerman.

Fall 2015 premire.

Patrick Wilson is a really solid actor. You'll probably recognize him. He was Night Owl in Watchmen and in both The Conjuring and Insidious.

Looking forward to how they continue with this. First season was phenomenal.

I wonder if she will be reprising her role from Drop Dead Gorgeous

Drop Dead Gorgeous was on the other night, still holds up. Was nice to be reminded of what Dunst, Denise Richards and Amy Adams looked like in 1999.

Just watched entire season on a flight to and from Hawaii. I really liked it, but have a couple of big questions/thoughts:

1. How realistic is it that the cops or medical staff would have actually overlooked Lester's pellet wound on his hand? Seems like a big miss within a crime scene/murder investigation.

2. So, what did BBT gain in the end after torturing Stavros? Did BBT know where the $$ was buried? Not sure I followed how that all ended up.

3. The flying fish due to a tornado was way over the top and that almost ruined the last few episodes of the series for me.

4. Involving the Key & Peele actor duo seemed to cheapen this show a bit, although their characters played a nice role in the story.

Overall, I really liked it though and it had me captivated!

In other casting news Bruce Campbell will be playing Ronald Reagan in the next season.

The way they ended the Stavros's whole story line was pretty weak, imo. Really the only thing in the show I didn't like. The only thing I can really think of is that BBT's whole plan of playing god with Stavros backfired on him because Stavros ended up thinking that some higher power wanted him to return the money instead of go through with the drop. Then I guess they were trying to get at something about an actual act of God that punished Stavros, but I don't really know what that means unless Malvo had some sort of supernatural ability.

I thought they were really good. They had a chemistry that you needed and the whole theme of Fargo is putting these contrasting parts together. Like someone as evil as Malvo in the nice and pleasant midwest or someone who was as good of a cop as Molly working in a rural small time police department.

Obviously I'm late to this. But, I'm finishing up season 2 and it is great. It's been a while since I enjoyed a show so much. Season 2 is so far much better than season 1 and I really enjoyed season 1.

Just finished season 2. The last two episodes took a weird turn in directing. Without looking it up in guessing they were directed by a different person. What was the deal with the random UFO?

It was a random UFO and the catalyst for the best line of the series.

Just finished season 3. I really liked it until the last episode. The ending was not what I hoped for.

That's right...many years plus late to the party....

started the show when it first came on back in the day, watched the rest on HULU.

Great show all the way around, except not really finishing up with the King after he puts the money back.

Just finished my 3rd re-watch of season 1. Moving on to the next couple seasons in anticipation of S4.

Aces.

Just finished binging S1-3. S1 & 2 were so good. S3 was pretty good IMO... incredible final scene.

Premier date of 4/19 not happening.

Aw man. As the virus shuts everything down, I said to myself, "At least a new season of Fargo is starting soon."

Major bummer

Cool

Not done with Season 5, so I don't want to read the board to see if this has been addressed. This is more of a place marker for me than anything.

Why is Jennifer Jason Leigh using her Hudsucker Proxy accent in this thing? I can't unhear it, and it's driving me crazy. Or is that just how she talks in real life. Woof.
