Product description

An original adaptation of the Academy Award-winning feature film, Fargo features an all-new “true crime” story and follows a new case and new characters, all entrenched in the trademark humor, murder and “Minnesota nice” that made the film an enduring classic. Set in Bemidji, Minnesota, this drama series follows Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton), a drifter who meets and forever changes the life of an ordinary insurance salesman, Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman). Other key players include Colin Hanks as Duluth Police Deputy Gus Grimly, a single dad who must choose between his own personal safety and his duty as a policeman; Allison Tolman and Bob Odenkirk as a pair of Bemidji cops; Kate Walsh as a former stripper; Oliver Platt as the supermarket king of Minnesota; Glenn Howerton as an ambitious personal trainer; and Russell Harvard and Adam Goldberg as members of the Fargo crime syndicate.

Oh yah, sure
Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2018
I admit to being wrong -- when I heard that the classic Coen Brothers movie "Fargo" was being made into a TV series, I thought it was a disastrous idea.

But it turns out that "Fargo: Season 1" is not a re-adaptation of the movie, but the first season of an anthology series that exists in the same continuity as the movie. It's a darker, more murderous experience (lots and lots of bodies) with some genuinely sociopathic characters, but the heart is still the amiable, pleasant people of a snow-encrusted Minnesota town.

After timid Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) has a brief conversation with con-man/murderer Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton), Malvo decides to do Lester a favor... by killing his old school bully, Sam Hess... which attracts the attention of the sheriff, the local syndicate, and two rather quirky enforcers who are sure Lester is the murderer.

And Lester is a murderer... just not Sam Hess'. After years of ridicule, he snaps and bludgeons his nagging wife to death with a hammer, and Lorne shoots the sheriff (but not the deputy) when the officer finds what Lester has done. All Lester can do is knock himself out and lie.

But Lester soon finds himself ensnared in a web of lies, odd evidence and yet more murders, orchestrated by Lorne (who is himself arranging an elaborate scam on a supermarket magnate). Only plucky young cop Molly (Allison Tolman) suspects that the timid insurance salesman may be the center of all this mayhem. And as the months roll by, it seems that Lester might have gotten off scot-free... but a chance encounter with Lorne means more dead bodies in Fargo.

"Fargo: Season 1" is a somewhat darker story than the movie it's based on -- there are more nasty people in Fargo and Duluth, and a LOT more death and infidelity. It doesn't hurt that the two pivotal characters -- Lorne and Lester -- are pretty much sociopaths. One was a callous, casual monster already, and the other becomes one out of self-interest.

And both Thornton and Freeman do excellent jobs. Thornton plays as an almost stunningly casual killer, who pontificates philosophically about life, death and the dog-eat-dog nature of reality, when he isn't calmly blowing away whole criminal syndicates. And then there's Freeman as a timid little man who slowly becomes a charming, dead-eyed person who will calmly send his loving, sweet-natured wife into a situation where she'll get shot in the face.

However, the heart of the story is Molly, an earnest young cop who combines brains and gut instinct, while also having an adorably earnest romance with a cop-turned-mailman. Her little family and circle of friends -- even the inept new sheriff -- remind us that despite the cold sociopathy of the pivotal characters, there is still good and kindness in the world.

And it maintains a certain amount of Coen Brothers quirkiness, whether it's hitmen arguing in sign language or a pair of pleasantly bumbling FBI agents. But it never goes too long without some horrible deaths of one kind or another (though no wood chippers are involved). And the complex tangle of subplots and characters (only some of them directly connected to the murder) keep things interesting even when nothing too dramatic is happening. For instance, a plot thread from the movie is picked up in one subplot.

There's a lot of blood, guns and Minnesota Niceness in "Fargo Season 1," a solid example of what a well-written TV show can be. And there are plenty more violent stories to be told in Fargo.

the miles of snowy waste accompanied by a stirring majestic score
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2017

I started watching this with some misgivings - how could anyone dare to replicate the charm and the humour of the original film? I was very pleasantly surprised because they succeeded 100%: it's all there - the gallows humour, the creepy salesman, the weird Minnesota accent, the endless meals of junk food, the miles of snowy waste accompanied by a stirring majestic score, the bulging pregnant cop - with the added joy of Billy Bob Thornton being suitably sinister. A worthy successor to the original Fargo.

Sometimes everyone else is right when they recommend a series, and this is an instance. Carefully placed in the welcoming if wordy communities of Minnesota this is a tale of mayhem as Lorne Malvo a professional hitman and amateur trouble causer worthy of Loki passes through the town of Bemidji. Here he meets Lester Nygaard (the sort of role, put-upon chump, William H Macy took in the film, but played by the pliable Martin Freeman here). Malvo is there by happenstance (an accident on the icy roads) but he does Lester a "good turn" and from that mounts up a truly impressive death toll. Malvo is not at all like the locals, cheery friendly people with difficulty in clearly stating their views (lest, I guess, they offend), he is direct, threatening, with a clear tunnel vision that makers him an impressive killer. Allied to that directness is a malevolent nature second to none. His presence has huge changes on the locals who begin to develop a harder more focused and manipulative style as they fight back against the predator in their midst. There are a number of plot holes but when are there not.

Excellent acting

Billy Bob on the rampage!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2015

Lorne Malvo (B.B. Thornton) is an intelligent, psychopathic hitman. He enjoys toying with his victims and also inspiring people to behave as he feels they would like to behave if they were less inhibited. Fargo is a difficult programme to sum up in a short sentence. It is a thriller with comic moments but it is also about people. It is good vs evil, but with a subtle touch.

I did not find the film of the same name very gripping and while I thought it was OK, it was nothing special for me - pedestrian sums up my feelings about it. That was a few years ago so I need to re-visit it and see if I have changed or whether the TV series is really so much better as it seems.

The cast is superb; I love the self-doubt and incompetence of some of the cops. This is what makes them human and they are aware of it. BBT on the other hand is pure evil. He has no self-doubt and no love of life. He lives to torture, maim, destroy and kill - and he gets immense satisfaction from it.

This is fantastic viewing!

Fargo Continues to Go Far In Terms of Class Entertainment!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2016

This first season / TV series of Fargo was loosely linked to the 1997 Oscar-winning film of the same name.
This time round, set in about 2001, the hapless loser, for a while anyway, is a guy called Lester Nygaard, played to pefection by British actor Martin Freeman (The Office, Sherlock Holmes etc). He even acts and looks like William H Macey, the original loser, at times
Still set in freezing, snowy Minnesota, downtrodden Nygaard bumps into a cool, mean, nasty loner of a hit-man called Lorne Malvo, brilliantly portrayed by Billy Bob Thornton. Possibly as a result of a misunderstanding, the hit man helps Nygaard clear up a bit of a mess and also carries out a hit or two of his own. Both men are hitherto destined to keep bumping into each other whilst being manfully (or ladyfully?) pursued by ace, pregnant Deputy Police Chief Molly Solverston (the brilliant Allison Tolman) and - to a lesser extent - her new admirer, Officer Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks - yes Tom's son!).
Again, this gripping series is suddenly very violent at times (but not gratuitously so) and the storylines are brilliantly interweaved and make for enthralling viewing. I can hardly await for the Season 2 DVD collection (set in about 1981) to become available for purchase!! You'll love the town butcher in this one!

Brilliant, and unique...

You can't really beat this programme for originality, It is great from start to finish,
if ever you want to watch a completely unique series, with loads of wacky messed up, things happening in it,
then this is it, some programmes get too confusing when there's so much abstract stuff going on,
but this is full of many compelling plot twists, and really well written,and acted characters,
that you either really like, or really loathe, but no one is safe in this world whoever you are...
