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.
