I think this looks interesting. I may give it a season pass on the Apple TV if I hear good things about the first couple episodes.

I'll give this one a timer ...

I will give it a timer also since I liked the movie and see where the series goes!!

I've only watched about 20 minutes of the first episode but I'm going to love it. Billy Bob Thornton rules!!

Yea I like Billy Bob,and Fargo is one of my favorite movies.I set a timer for it,try to check it out soon.

Just finished the first episode. The Coen brothers are listed in the credits as producers. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I've enjoyed almost all the Coen bros.movies,so I'm sure I'll like this.

I bought the season pass from iTunes for $25.99. This is one of the rare cases where there is a slight price difference between Amazon at $28.40 and iTunes. Most current seasons are the exact same price on both services. More important than that is that iTunes streams in 1080p that is noticeably better than the 720p from Amazon and slightly better than FX-HD from Dish.

Anyways, I really liked the first episode. It's a great cast and the show feels true to the movie. I especially like Martin Freeman and it was cool to see Bob Odenkirk (Saul from Breaking Bad). I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

Excellent first episode. Better than I anticipated. Reminds me a little of Justified. (One of the best shows on TV) I tend to do other things while watching TV, check email etc... I don't during Justified, and didn't for this show.

Missed the first episode so I bought it from iTunes. Loved it. Bibbly Bob Thorton is amazing. The whole show was great. Going to savor this one.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I wonder if the ratings were skewed by people thinking, as I did, that FX was just showing the old film?

 

[Tampa8]

Could be. It's my Justified replacement till Justified comes back l look forward to each week now. I hope people catch on to it.

I said that because I thought it was just the movie.

I'm really loving this show. Between this show and Game of Thrones, those are my 2 favorites right now.

I would probably pick those same 2 shows for what is currently airing.

 

[StevenD]

Definitely a good show!

This show has me convinced that Bob Odenkirk is a genius. He didn't get the staring role in either this or Breaking Bad, he didn't even get one of the more likable characters. He sure knows how to pick winners though. Going forward, if he is even a minor part of a drama series I'm probably checking it out.

I am a few episodes behind, but this is a brilliant show. Truly enjoyable.
