I recommend you who haven't seen it check it out! This series is high quality tv there, can't wait the next episode to air. Great cast, nice to see Colin Hanks again too. Haven't seen this Molly (Allison Tolman) before but she's doing superb job too. And Thornton & Freeman, needless to say. Great stuff.
I've not watched the TV show, but I've heard people say about the film that it was "too real." I love "Fargo," but I've certainly re-watched it less than most other films I thought were as good, so I can sort of see why some may not "like" it. Here I mean to distinguish "like" from whether somebody was simultaneously sensible enough to recognize it was "good" in a critical respect. I can understand if people don't like it, but if they conflate their dislike of "Fargo" with its not being done well (*cough,* last page *cough*) I suspect they're either too young to be familiar with older production styles or they have poor taste in film.bit_pattern said:
I agree. Hollywood copies the Midwestern "accent" in everything it doesn't intend to have a specific American location. I'm from the Midwest and I'll never forget asking a German foreign exchange student who went to our school to make fun of our accent (after doing what I imagined was a "Colonel Klink" impression of the German accent) -- after which he said "you don't have an accent." We're that perfectly monotone, apparently.
