The latest must watch TV show?

First episode was very impressive and with the Coen Brothers as exec producers I think this looks like it is going be a top tv series. Great cast too, with Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Keith Carradine and Bob Odenkirk (Saul from Breaking Bad).

Loved the first episode. Think it is going to be a real class act. Anyone else concur?

Reviews have been totally excellent all round.

Nick · Apr 21, 2014

Yep, I watched it.

Was weird hearing him speak american (Freeman) with some facial expressions from the office

Very good so far though.

Is it a 2 parter?

Otis · Apr 21, 2014

No idea.

As soon as Freeman opened his mouth I thought 'oh dear,' but he pulled it off in the end and I accepted him in the role.

Very promising though I think Nick.

Otis · Apr 21, 2014

Just checked and there are 5 episodes. Well 5 thusfar anyway.

henry the wasp · Apr 21, 2014

Heard an interview with Martin Freeman the other day. He said he had signed up for 10 episodes.
Love the Coen brothers work and really enjoyed the first episode.

IS It an expansion on the Brilliant film ??

Nick · Apr 21, 2014

It does look good, is every episode as long?

Otis · Apr 21, 2014

I would think just the pilot was longer to be honest Nick. Am expecting all the other episodes to be an hour in length.

It has the falvour of the film, Wingy, though not quite exactly the same plot. The same feel about it and it is darkly delicious in its hmour. Recommended. Especially if you like the Coen Brothers' style.

Dark moody funny evil, good entertainment.

Somebody recommended "Dexter" to me. I watched a couple of episodes and got completely bored with it. Does it get any better? Any recommendations? Otherwise I'll just delete the whole bloody series and save some space!

Houchens Head · Apr 23, 2014

I have recently had a "No 2" haircut and, with my beard, I've been told by many people I now resemble Walter White from "Breaking Bad"! Just thought I'd mention it.....

Dexter gets much, much betterm Houch. It's a grower. I wondered myself what all the fuss was about when I first started watching, but you have to stick with it. One or two series don't quite hit the mark, but at times it is very impressive.

You HAVE seem Breaking Bad haven't you Houch?

Dexter peaked with season four and the Trinity Killer with John Lithgow, shame it ended so poorly really.

Did you notice the two actors who'd appeared in Dexter in Fargo?

Otis · Apr 23, 2014

I spotted Keith Carradine. Who's the other?

Have to admit Otis, me and 'er indoors were absolutely hooked on Breaking Bad (or Baking Bread as she called it!). We watched all 5 series over a period of about 5 - 6 weeks. Every night! Brilliant! Might watch it all over again!

Colin Hanks, the cop who stopped Billy Bob in his car, then thought better of it!

Nick · Apr 23, 2014

Second one is available online in all good video retailers so will watch it tonight!

Is it actually a true story?

Of course it is, they said so at the start, surely that means its true, oh dear, wait a minute u mean people talk shit and lie, and heres gullible me believing everything the scriptwriters say!
Fkn halfwit i must be!

Nick · Apr 26, 2014

I watched the film last night, totally random! Didn't really make sense.

Also watched the second part of the series, very good again

chiefdave · Apr 26, 2014

I can't watch this, I find Freeman with an American accent too distracting. Not that he's bad at it or anything just doesn't seem right.

Nick · Apr 26, 2014

You get used to the accent to be fair

Ian Coventry · Apr 26, 2014

I thought freeman was an American to be honest.

The end with the Shredder ,very vivid.

Otis · Apr 26, 2014

I thought Shredder was in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Id he in Fargo too?

Jack Griffin · Apr 27, 2014

Original film was excellent & I can recommend it.

I am recording the TV series, but not got round to seeing it yet..

SlowerThanPlatt · Apr 27, 2014

The first episode was very enjoyable. I was reluctant to watch it at first - due to my love of the film - but this looks very promising. Billy Bob Thornton was tremendous.

He was. I am loving it. Great performances, super witty script and a lovely dark feel to it all. Once you accept Freeman with his US accent he is perfectly cast in the role of Lester.

It's a must watch for me now.

lordsummerisle · Apr 28, 2014

Anybody seen Generation War?

Excellent German WWII drama.

wingy · Apr 28, 2014

Not yet LS ,where do we find It?

Jack Griffin · Apr 28, 2014

google, easy peasy

Anybody still watching? This week's a bit confusing, are there still 5 in the series?

This one? Do you mean the next one as far as the rest of us are concerned? Aren't you a week in advance of the C4 screenings?

i'm still loving it

Otis · May 10, 2014

According to Wikipedia there are 8 episodes, so you may well be right in saying 5.

The one I saw last week was where Malvo killed the dog and Lester received a visit from the 2 hitmen/thugs.
