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]

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]

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]

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

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.

 

[wingy]

IS It an expansion on the Brilliant film ??

 

[Nick]

It does look good, is every episode as long?

 

[Otis]

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.

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!

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]

I spotted Keith Carradine. Who's the other?

 

[Houchens Head]

........You HAVE seem Breaking Bad haven't you Houch?

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!

 

[lordsummerisle]

I spotted Keith Carradine. Who's the other?

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

 

[Nick]

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

Is it actually a true story?

Nope!

 

[mds]

Nope!

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]

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]

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]

You get used to the accent to be fair

 

[Ian Coventry]

I thought freeman was an American to be honest.

The end with the Shredder ,very vivid.

 

[Otis]

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

 

[Jack Griffin]

Original film was excellent & I can recommend it.

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

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

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]

Anybody seen Generation War?

Excellent German WWII drama.

 

[wingy]

Not yet LS ,where do we find It?

 

[Jack Griffin]

[Nick]

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]

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.
