naushika | fargo the tv show impromptu rec post

It's come to my attention that maybe nobody else is watching Fargo (the new tv show) but me, haha.

If you liked the movie Fargo, you'll like the show. It's the same kind of dark comedy. It's violent. And often the violence and comedy come together. It is a tv show on a basic cable channel so it's not as gory as the movie was, for instance. But there's lots of blood. And a lot of cavalier murdering.

So if you can stand, or even like, that stuff, I recommend the show! From what I gather, the first season is going to be a self-contained story. I think they are going to be doing that new style of tv where each season is basically its own mini-series and each season is then loosely connected. But don't quote me on that.

Although I hope at least the character of Molly continues on because Molly is the best and if you like dorky, relatable, intelligent lady cops then you'll like her and you'll want to be watching this show.

So not to spoil too much of the plot but the bad guy is Lester (Martin Freeman) and Molly is trying to catch him but there's also this other bad guy played by Billy Bob Thornton who is funny and scary at the same time and this other whole plot of what Billy Bob is up to + this crime syndicate thing. Molly is only like 36.4% of the show I don't want to give the impression it's all about her (I WISH) but she's totally the best part.

Also there is this other dorky cop named Gus played by Colin Hanks and I ship Gus and Molly and their ship name is GOLLY.
