very well-written and well-acted....not for viewing while multi-tasking---need to pay attention to every part of it to really understand the depth of it ..

I'm totally an outlier with this show, have tried watching it twice now and just find the violence distasteful and rather gratuitous. And I watch plenty of shows with violence! Good acting but that's about it for me.

Apr 19, 2015 Some parallel to the movie Fargo, that Molly as Marge Gunderson and Lester as Jerry Lundegaard who crossed bloody paths in a small Minnesota town with a ruthless hit man Lorne Malvo as the psychotic killer. Thornton's…

Don't compare it with the film, and you might find both great. Only saw season one.

The first five episodes move along smartly and then the pace slows, but patience is rewarded with a satisfying conclusion. Billy Bob Thornton’s mesmerizing, malevolent Malvo elevates Season 1 from good to exceptional.

When I first heard that Fargo was being made into a limited TV series, I almost immediately figured it would be hot garbage. I had no idea why they wanted to make a series about the movie (...money...) because the movie Fargo was such a…

A masterpiece. Amusing and terrifying in equal measure. One of the best in the new golden age of television.

Excellent Series. Heads up! Disc 1 was stopping & skipping forward, with huge gaps in the program...

Initially I was hesitant to give this a shot because the original movie is such a classic. I felt that inevitably the show would be a let down. I was wrong. If anything, this show is as good, if not even better than the film. Excellent…

The actor who plays Lester is terrific. Facial features, expressions add so much to his the character he is portraying.

I love the Fargo movie, so I was a bit hesitant when I heard that it was being made into a tv show. Upon watching the series I don't know what I was afraid of! The story is as engaging and thrilling as the characters and it is a rare…

Very well made! The actual violence was a bit much! Based on the true stories!

Great entertainment, though not for late-night viewing: it kept me awake, anyway. The production values and photography brilliantly reproduce a wintry Minnesota. (Canada -- in this case Alberta -- looks more American than America.)…

I was worried when I heard they were making a series out of the movie... but these worries were unfounded. This show is terrific... keeping the mood and dark humor of the film and throwing in a bunch of great characters. Billy Bob is a…

This series was just incredible! It does have some similarities to Breaking Bad, but overall it is very different. I love the fact that it takes place in Minnesota. It becomes another character to the story. Billy Bob Thornton is…

First rate in every way. Billy Bob Thornton character best of all, though everyone is excellent.

I loved this show due to the fact that it's based upon a true story and it's very interesting. This DVD set leaves out a lot of the original first season details and scenes. The first or second DVD is also scratched because it stopped…

I liked the show because this TV show was actually based on a true story that took place in Minnesota during the year 2006.

Excellent TV series. One small problem with the 4 DVDs in the Vancouver PL set is that the episode order is not clear. And the DVD's menu is confusing. The complete list of episodes is in the Full Record above (for the VPL). I copy it…

Lots of interesting characters in this TV-adaptation of an old, but successful, crime drama. Great ending for Season One. The body count, however, is way too high to add credibility to the story, though.

I didn't remember the movie as I had only watched it once, years ago. I decided to check out the series based on everyone else's reviews and wanted to try something new. OMG, was this ever good. The actors were spot on. Talent in this show…

I really enjoyed all 10 episodes. Very original atmosphere throughout the series. High quality acting and story. Can't wait to watch Season Two.
