Brock N Roll Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I didn't see a thread for this but if there already is, my apologies. Anyone watch last night? Just watched it this morning and I'm really digging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I had no interest...then I saw the cast list. I plan to watch the first few episodes and judge it from there. The talent involve has my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Super impressed with last night's premiere. It's a totally different story from Fargo, but with the same general setting and tone. The Coens are probably my favorite film-makers, so I was a little nervous that this would come off as a straight copy/worship piece, or totally miss the point of their work, but luckily it seems like it landed a happy medium between those two. And the cast is absolutely stacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I just watched the pilot. I'm impressed all around so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Watched the first 30 minutes or so. Started recording the rest of the episode. I was hooked with interest right off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Was not expecting this to be worthwhile. Checked it out last night after seeing the hugely positive reaction and I'm definitely hooked. According to wikipedia (this is a casting spoiler, has nothing to do with the plot or anything just tagging it because some people are weird about ANY kind of spoiler) Key and Peele show up at some point! so I'm stoked for that.

steventangent Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Fargo is one of my favorite movies ever. I still don't have TV, though, so I guess I'll have to wait on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koljou Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I was super impressed with the episode last night. Cast is phenomenal and it is no easy task to adapt a Coen Brothers film. I'm excited to see where it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffiend Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The thing that really made this episode work is that they didn't adapt the STORY of Fargo, but rather the TONE of Fargo. It's like what's happening in a different corner from Marge and Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like what's happening in a different corner from Marge and Jerry. YES! And that indeed makes it better and a fresher take on the movie itself. But for TV.

radiatorhums Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I watched it this morning and enjoyed it. It's good and I think it'll probably keep getting better as things perpetuate. I liked the small Lebowski nod (White Russians were on special in the diner). diabretic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabretic Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The cast is why I watched, and IMO it didn't disappoint at all. I really enjoyed the first episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexDarr Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 A guy I go to school with says he helped write a few episodes (6 and 7 or 7 and 8. I can't remember). So if you see Alex Chipera I know that nerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
