Inspirée de l’univers créé par les frères Coen dans leur film du même nom, la série Fargo présente la rencontre entre Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman), un agent d’assurance qui a connu des jours meilleurs et le mystérieux Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton), un étranger débarqué dans la ville de Bemidji, qui va prendre un malin plaisir à lui pourrir la vie.

Fargo (2014)
After quite some time I decided to start watching some TV show again. Fargo had very strong reviews and it was attractive in and of itself. I know the original movie and so I was curious to see the premise stretched out into 10 whole hours. The authors managed that quite well, even though I couldn’t shake the feeling that the middle of the show was boring rather than engaging. I feel like the peak of the show were the first and the last two episodes. The middle is just a filling where you’re building relationships with the individual characters and Martin Freeman goes through a brutal character development, which is the only upside of the middle episodes. However, if it weren’t for Billy Bob Thornton, there would barely be a third of this show, maybe even fourth. He’s just absolutely amazing and his character really had his place here. Maybe the middle was so lacking in quality because he wasn’t in it a lot. The ending made up for everything and the amazing atmosphere of the snowy American countryside put a cherry on top of it all. The movie Fargo is full of elaborate little details and the show sticks by that. But I still can’t shake off the feeling that it “just” stretched the original movie out into individual episodes. But… what else could we expect?
