Fargo Season 3?

[ssjones]

Anyone else watching the new season of Fargo on FX? Two episodes in, it's pretty intriguing.

Ewan McGregor plays two roles (brothers) which is interesting.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a also very good (and gorgeous!)

Yes Death by window air conditioner is very unique. Been watching McGregor ever since he Motorcycled around the world. Quirky show, one of my favorites.

Man, I am all in! Great timing on the A/C accidental fall!
I also recorded the last two eps of the previous series, for old time's sake. Glad I did.

Watched all 3 seasons. As a South Dakotan by rearing I can say " Yah, South Dakotans talk like those character much of the time, doncha know?" :D Last season ended in that shoot-out in Sioux Falls, S.D., my wife's home town.

Apparently there were some nods to "The Big Lebowski". I didn't really care for that Coen brothers effort, so it was lost on me.

Aw, geez, I didn't catch those BL nods. Planning on watching it again, this time not falling asleep, is all I'm saying.

For three seasons now we've enjoyed incredible casting, great story lines, offbeat dialogue, Season 2 being a prequel to Season 1, UFOs, Ronald Reagan on the hustings and now Ewan McGregor playing brothers who are polar opposites.
Weird. Quirky. Darkly funny.
And for you SJW types, this series is as politically correct as it gets. The woman are strong, fierce and loyal. Some are misguided - like so many of the male characters - and deserve to die. And die they do. Minorities are equally as well represented. There have been formidable African American and Native American characters plus folks with physical disabilities. Most of these characters are criminals and they eventually get their just desserts, but they do represent a fabulous cross section of the U.S populace.
It's very likely one of the best TV shows you're not watching.

Well said Fnord! HBO tried this with "True Detective" and couldn't pull it off. I think that the Coen brothers creativity is the key. By comparison, the movie was good, the tv series, great.

Irish, that might be true in eastern SD, but not here in Rapid City. I went to college in Fargo-Moorhead, and I have a lot of relatives in that part of the country as well. Here in the Black Hills, our dialect is decidedly Rocky Mountain west. We have some people around here who talk like the "Fargo" folk, but they are transplants from east of here.
