Crime comedy-drama based on the Coen brothers' 1996 film.
Yup, SKY+d and ready to go...should be interesting
That's a hell of a cast, looks interesting.
just watched it... I can confirm that it's interesting
Trailer didn't inspire, but I may try it.
Interesting it is then !
Didn't rate the film much but never seen Martin Freeman do anything bad so might give it a go.

Fargo - one of my all-time favourite movies, but then, the Coen brothers can do little wrong for me. Not sure about a TV spin off, but I'm recoding it anyway.

+a lot. That film did no-one any favours. In fact, it made me long for the Eighties Beeb television production and the Zaphod head that made Blakes 7 look like a miracle of special effects.
I quite enjoyed hitchhiker's.
I beginning to like Fargo ... very funny. 😆
...you betcha!
recorded it and looking forward to it, as above, Martin Freeman is generally a good call.
Hmm not sure so far
Brilliant hammer action there from Martin Freeman. 😆
The missus is watching it while I'm doing some accounts. She's laughing quite a lot. I'm not. Me knows who has the better deal.
The first hammer hit was brilliant. What a picture her face was.
Loving it so far.
Billy Bob's clearly enjoying playing the baddie from No country for old men 😀
Is it me or Freeman is very funny 
Definitely enjoyed that,I might have to go funds the film now.
Good enough to enjoy - It doesn't quite make it great for me somehow..
Maybe it's Freeman doing more Freeman with a splash of 'ohgee'..
The accents, music and landscapes of the original seemed to generate the rythm of the edits/direction (or vice versa) - maybe it's that - hard act to follow..
It's going to be good to offset the weekly beheadings in GoT. PSA: New series of Mad Men started this week too.
Was it a comedy?
Poor imitation of the film from what I could be bothered to watch!
I genuinely enjoyed this. It evokes the film, but it isn't a re-hash. Homage rather than imitation.
Thornton is wonderful, quite different to the hitmen of the film. I'm not sure he's really just aping Chigurh in NCFOM. I don't believe Chigurh would ever have incited a murder while hanging about in a hospital waiting room - Thornton's character is far more impish.
Yup ,I liked it a lot and as far as I could tell, it's really not meant to be copy or remake of the film, just roughly based around the same type of story and characters.
Just watched it - I'm a big fan of the film and I thought this was worthy of watching episode 2.
I wasn't sure if it would be any good and was glad it wasn't a rip-off - they've used similar characters eg the female cop in the film is the chief (AFAIK), was pregnant and ate with her hubby a lot - in this they've mixed up the traits of the cast a bit so the main cop is male, his wife is preggars though they were scoffing lots too; and played with the storyline so there are similarities.
The initial hammer blow was pure genius too 😯
Thought it was great. Series linked on the Sky box now.
Similar worries here too abut trashing one of my fave movies
Happily we really enjoyed it, great TV
Roll on Episode 2
Great bit of dark comedy, was concerned about freeman in it but I thought he was pretty good, billy bob was excellent.
Highly irregular is the time I found a human foot in a toaster oven
Looking forward to next week.
Liked it a lot. Just a smidgen of Twin Peaks about it, too, I thought.
2nd episode on in 10 minutes people!
C4 9pm - be interesting to see if it's as good as the 1st was...
C4+1 @ 10pm for me
I was quite liking the Police Chief character in episode 1 and then he got shot! 😯
Will set it on series record.
Enjoyed that.
Billy Bob is on top form,it's going to be interesting when he meets the other two hitmen.
Ep 3 C4 4 mins...
Zombie kit. 😮 😯
I want!
Billy Bob really is playing a brilliant part and is funny and quite dark with it too. Thoroughly enjoying it.
Awesome touch at the start of last night's episode.
Crap forgot to watch last weeks.
The deaf guy and the one from Friends are brilliant. Standing in trees... just watching 😀
Highlight of the week now. Whole cast is awesome. Billy Bob Thornton particularly.
Very funny. I like. 😆
Watching EP3 now.
