Fargo (TV series on FX)

[Jim Schue]

Debuted tonight with Billy Bob Thornton and the guy who played the Jim role in the British version of The Office (among other roles). I'm loving it. Hysterically funny.

Plan on catching it on demand this weekend. Is it supposed to be a comedy or it more of a dark comedy?

Yeah, dark comedy. I've got a pretty twisted sense of humor. Still, if you liked the humor in between the tragedy of the movie version, you'll like this as long as you don't go into it expecting it to be just like the movie in terms of characters, etc.

Sounds great looking forward to it.

I'll be watching next week. Billy Bob's character is a lot of fun — he's sort of a composite marrying the blonde guy's ruthless, serious and sadistic side with Steve Buscemi's humorous talkativeness.

On the DVR, been anticipating this one since I first found out about it.

Gotta love Billy Bob--Great as usual. A typically dark FX show that gets a bit graphic, but thought it was very entertaining & loved the ending sequence. Will be watching this series--Anything but another "reality" show?

I watched Fargo. It was a lot of things, but funny wasn't one of them. Having said that, i will probably watch it again.

[Randy Parker]

DVR'd it only because of Billy Bob.

[Clyde]

Watched it. Just odd enough to get me back next week.

 

Billy Bob was strong.

I'll allow that my sense of humor trends a bit darker than most folks. That said, this show had so much funny stuff going on in between the tragic stuff I don't know how you could miss it.

I just watched it on demand. I'll be setting the DVR for this one. Excellent premier. I'm not sure how it will do in the episodes that don't feature Billy Bob. I notice he's only credited in 5 of the 10 episodes.

I sat on the fence due to the fact I love Fargo but I enjoyed the first episode. I'd like to know how Lester's alibi is going to play out. Buckshot in his hand places him at the shooting along with some bloody clothes and hammer in the basement. BBT is a pretty good actor.

Of course he was at the shooting. They found him unconscious right next to his dead wife. Couldn't he just claim that the chief stopped by to talk to him when someone broke in, shot the chief and hit him in the hand? Then he and his wife fled to the basement where the intruder killed his wife and knocked him out. I think Billy Bob's character took the clothes with him, along with Lester's car.

I'm with you but BBT had no clue where the hammer was hidden but on the flip side how in the hell did BBT even get into the house?
