Very well done series so far. Very dark comedy. I lived in Minnesota from the late Summer of 1986 through November 1991 and probably came across ten people who actually talk like this. This was while I lived in the downtown Minneapolis area often near the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities main campus. Two of those academic years while at Law School were in one of if not in the biggest dorm on that campus-- Middlebrook Hall. So I did encounter many Minnesotans. Most of the people attending the U were from Minnesota especially the undergrads in the dorm.

Cannot wait to see how this series unfolds.

I absolutely loved the movie when it came out and I think this new series is just as good. It kept me captivated for the whole 1.5 hours.

I really enjoyed the show. Looking forward to next week.

Martin Freeman is great as a milquetoast turned murderer. For a Brit, he can sure do the accent too.

All the actors seem quite good in this series.

We lived in Fargo for 25 years but can not figure out why the series started in Bemidji,MN. Have to wait and see. Accents were a little off but still a good show. Ya You Betcha. OOHHHH Ya

The series takes place in Bemidiji because it is suppose to be based on a true event taking place in 2006. The series is actually recorded in Calagry. The Coen brother (produced Fargo) were born and reared in St. Louis Park (Minneapolis) MN and also are executive producers for the series.

The actors selected for this series have captured the mannerisms of the original characters. It is a good series that holds your attention same as The American, Justify, Vikings, TURN

I had never seen a Lord of the Rings movie, so I had no idea who Martin Freeman was as an actor. PBS (WUCF channel 24) was advertising new episodes of the UK show 'Sherlock' back around Christmas, and I love good mysteries. So I watched all three of the 90 minute episodes and it was great, Martin plays Dr. Watson.

Next I noticed Neflix had the first two seasons of Sherlock, six more 90 minute episodes, so I watched those. Really great show, even better than the American 'Elementary' show. That's when I looked up Martin Freeman's resume and saw he was on the UK version of 'The Office', and I had really liked the Office. Netflix had the first two seasons, so I watched those and Martin plays the 'Jim' character, he had the crush on the receptionist and everything was just like the American show.

When Fargo was advertised with Martin Freeman, I made sure to watch. I have to say, it's one of the best TV drama shows I've ever seen. Can't wait until next Tuesday.

Loved Fargo. It's one of those movies we watch again every so often, and I enjoy applying my favorite quote--He's fleeing the interview!--to real life situations. So far I really like the tv series as well.
