my thoughts on this:

Fargo? WTF!? Why does this need to be made? This can only be terrible.
Oh hey, it's that guy and the other guy and that dude who was Joeys roommate in friends. Not a terrible cast... wonder who they got to play... nope, no Frances McDormand. Fail.

So I'm going to say "cautiously pessimistic" on this. Could be good, probably be terrible.

The Coen brothers are involved with the show, so we'll have to see what becomes of it. I honestly don't remember the movie well enough anyhow. Still an odd thing to turn into a series. It's not a movie that I saw and went, "you know what? This would work as a 10 hour maxi-series." I'll join ChaosEngine on being "cautiously pessimistic".

Would hasten to guess that chaos''cautiously pessimistic' aversion to the re-hash may translate into 'it's gonna have it's moments and otherwise suck' considering it's one of the Coen bros tryin' hard to ride off the laurels of their last 5 or 6 outta 10 team efforts sucking hard and solid...

Chingerla is once again wrong.

But of course someone who's as staunch a republican has absolutely no grasp of aesthetics. Par for the course.

This looks great. Great cast, great story, and it's highly possible this is adaptable.

The original film was superb. I doubt the series will be a disappointment.

A republican? Are you joking? @chingalera may be many things...
- funny (occasionally)
- insane (probably)
- drunk (almost certainly)
- incomprehensible (definitely)

but if he's a republican, he's unlike any I've ever met.

Can't stand politics. Apolitical. In a reasonable world, politicians would be rounded-up and placed in internment camps awaiting trial for crimes against humanity....Or wait, that's too harsh-Dress 'em in clown make-up, strip 'em naked and toss em one by one into oncoming roller-derby traffic for a few healthy rounds of clothes-hanging.

'No Country' and 'True Grit' of the last 7 films (did love the scenes with Richard Jenkins and J.K.Simmons though in Burn After Reading, otherwise that film was simply hard to watch) and of course Lebowski and O brother....but seriously....Inside Llewyn Davis? What more of a complete piece of shit can one imagine?

Imagine if you will, two Jewish men driving down the street laughing at people while throwing burning hundred-dollar bills out the window.

A series as a nod to Fargo screams rehash of pop-culture on the fucking skids and a reason to spend your cable money on learning to plasma-weld or something.....

Welcome back BTW @volumptuous. Still got yer Aunt Jemima Cookie Jar

Last time I tried to vote they turned me away at the polls in that rigged election-machine Gore/Bush election back in 2000....I was gonna write-in a made-up name. I realized that year that my mission was to decry all presidential elections as complete and utter farce and an insult to the collective consciousness.

I'm not sure. Fargo is a great film, one of my favourites, but it's old now and it's hardly a great big cash-cow franchise, so it seems like more of a gamble than a safe-bet. I mean, I'll bet the mainstream audience don't remember the film at all, let alone fondly enough to make a series a sure-fire winner. I hope the writers have a good story up their sleeves.

"Pop culture on the skids", if you want to put it that way, is better exemplified by another reboot of Battlestar Galactica (happening) or a series based on C-tier characters from the Marvel Universe (Agents of Shield) or the new Spider-Man film series. Or a Nirvana/Kurt Cobain musical (also on the cards). Compared to all that crap, a Fargo series sounds brand-new.

Please tell me that's a bad joke....

Fuck me, it's true.

Like I didn't utterly despise Courtney Love enough as it is....

Bilbo Baggins just isn't the same without Khan...

Awww man, if they were going into the back catalog for a series, why not Lebowski, I'd be psyched for that!

Ok.....Tryin' it out-Have to-C-bros deserve it-

Alright....take back what I said, better than the movie and sure to be the next feather in the Cone Bro's hats....thank god, their movie makin' scores-to-fouls ratio had me gasping for their collective creativity units to pop-back on.....Don't recant the analogy though, Jews will always burn through semolia laughing as they passs the rest the fuck up!
