I'm surprised there is not much about Fargo in this section. Is anyone watching the TV series?
It's loosely based on the movie of the same name, taking alot of the characteristics from it and expanding on the Coen's idea of a 'true crime' story. Story wise, It follows on from the movie in part, but seeing the movie is not vital to it. The important thing is the setting of Minnesota and new characters that have no ties to the film. There are some reused elements, of course, and alot of new ones.
I actually prefer it to the movie, as it has longer to develop, and there are some excellent performances by a great cast with a great script.
I rate it higher than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D from this years TV show offerings, and I'd recommend it, whether you have seen the film or not.
