Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLester (Martin Freeman) rehearsing what he was going to tell Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) when he comes to his house ("What did you do?") is a homage to Jerry rehearsing his phone call to his father-in-law ("I don't know what to do; it's Jean.") in Fargo (1996).
- GoofsWhen Lester and Lorne are waiting at the emergency room, a sign behind them points the way to "Eye Casualty." Eye casualty is a distinctly British term not used in the United States, but it is in Canada, where the show was filmed. American hospitals would have signs for Eye Trauma or Eye Injury.
It would be impossible to find a Canadian province less likely to be "distinctly British" than Alberta.
Of course there's Quebec, also known for anti-British sentiment, but then the sign would read "Accident oculaire".
- Quotes
Lorne Malvo: I'm gonna roll my window up, then I'm going to drive away and you're gonna go home to your daughter. And every few years you're gonna look at her face and know that you're alive because you chose not to go down on a certain road on a certain night. That you chose to walk into the light instead of into the darkness.

Featured review
One of the best shows, Best Seasons, I have ever seen
When I first heard that they were going to make a Fargo TV Series, was both excited and perplexed. I am a big fan of the Coen Brothers movie, but I didn't understand if they were just going to copy the movie or what. What ended up doing for the Show was a stroke of genius. The movie Fargo, like all of the Coen Brothers movies, has a very particular feel/atmosphere to it. That atmosphere is achieved using several things that make up a movie or TV show, like theme, music and setting to name a few. What the show Fargo did so well was barrow these plot points from the 1996 movie Fargo and create a entirely new story that still fit with the idea of the movie's. they also dis things like placing the show in the same universe as the movie. Lastly the made the show an anthology, meaning each season has into own characters and story. I have not seen past season one yet... however i heard it is just a good in season two and three as it is in the first. I have seen season one 3+ times now and I gotta say, season one is going to be hard to beat. It is fantastic. I highly recommend this show.
