A thread for all things television... the regular seasons are winding down / over (*snif* a six-month wait until Walking Dead returns? Nooooooooo!!!!)... Falling Skies is coming back shortly. What else is worth watching?
New Fargo TV series is strange and remarkable
Fargo is a prairie noir thriller set in the flatlands of small-town Fargo, Minnesota in the dead of winter. A drifter, Lorne Malvo, played with understated inscrutability and menace by Billy Bob Thornton, in what could potentially be the role of his career.....
Everyone has something to hide, and a sense of dark foreboding settles over the scene.
This Fargo is not an homage to the Coen Brothers’ film. It’s its own creation, with different characters and a cast of truly gifted actors giving it their all: Allison Tolman as a deputy sheriff with an innate curiosity about everyone and everything, and a natural gift for spotting out-of-place details; Colin Hanks as a young, dedicated career police officer about to learn how much he means to his young daughter; and veteran, homegrown character actors like Shawn Doyle and Brian Markinson, in pivotal roles, and performances to match.
Fargo, a 10-episode, limited series in the style of True Detective and American Horror Story, is filmed outside Calgary, and the production is impeccable, right down to the subtle, underplayed background music, the crisp clarity of ice crunching underfoot and the breathtaking cinematography. The real achievement of Fargo, however, is that it’s first and foremost one hell of a story, told simply and brilliantly.
Fargo debuts Tuesday, April 15, on FX Canada/FXX
