This is the first season of Fargo I've watched and I felt it needed more episodes cause it kinda felt disjointed(?)
I've seen the original movie and saw it took a lot of direct scenes and characters from it. I think the actors reallly lifted the material.
Juno was fantastic!! Part of me wonders what was the point of Indira's whole backstory (beside the debt angle) because I feel like if you're gonna base her off the original character...you would've given her more???
The one character death was bullshit!! I liked that character even I felt similar to Indira got underused. Would've loved more from Jennifer Jason Leigh.
He was a little shit but I did feel for Gator, Joe Keery is a pretty good actor.
I just started this season and for some reason I'm having trouble getting into it? maybe cause it's so much like the movie and so I'm like oh I know what's coming to a degree idk
Fwiw this season really doesn’t have much in common with the movie. They’ll play off certain Coen tropes and themes (like the hitman character) but the plot is pretty different. The first episode sort of riffs on the kidnapped housewife aspect but it becomes clear they’re subverting expectations.
The first season was kind of close to the film - Martin Freeman was William H. Macy, Allison Tolman was Frances McDormand, etc - but after that they’ve been doing their own thing.
ahh okay thanks for letting me know because, to be honest, I haaaated how the housewife was treated in the film (we never got any closure for her either and her trauma was played for laughs which I hated so much)
I think this season's villains /good guys were very incompetent. The first being the guy with the bowl cut. How come no one is looking or even thinking of him?
This feels a bit like American Horror Story if I am being honest. The idea is there but it wasn't executed well.
