FARGO

Thinking about starting up this series next week? Yay? Or nah?

FARGO

Comments

Yay but please check out gangs of London maker of the raid

Atlanta (Danny Glover) Barry (Bill Hader)

Marvelous Dolcy

It's a well crafted series but I think there are better shows out there, Chernobyl & The Wire to name a couple

Jack Ryan

Not really my thing. I'd love to see the following more than Fargo. Queens Gambit Mr. Robot Peaky Blinders The Wire (assuming you've already seen it though)

John C

Absolutely!

Tyler Hailes

Yay

Yes to Peaky Blinders

Marvelous Dolcy

Its good so yes but woyld have prefered you watch Sopranos/The Wire

Marvelous Dolcy

Ehhh. I'd rather see The Expanse or Peaky Blinders. Or Westworld. All three are really good

Eric

You'll love it, James! Great performances throughout, but Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton especially are at the top of their games!

Steve W

The big challenge with Twin Peaks is the last half of season 2. Some parts of that (like James' trip out of town) are just punishingly bad, and they use just enough of the material in FWWM and the season 2 finale that you can't just skip it.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

It’s not for me.

Juley

I prefer he chose series, I think it's informed by our input but a series is a big commitment.

PLEASE LETS GO YOU'LL LOVE IT

Jack Diaz Doherty

Heck yeah for me. But you could just do a poll for the next show as well and put everything on that people in the comments name

Christian Edelmann

Yes !

Coleyra

Yes ! But also Twin Peaks ;)

Sébastien Pichette

Yes! Love this series, especially for the similarities to the movie and other Coen Brothers stuff. All four seasons are great (tho 2 is still my favorite)

Tim Brown

Fuck yay! 100% in 👍

Yay

Let’s get some Twin Peaks sometime. Seriously, I think the Return is the best show EVER MADE, it would be so incredible to see a reaction, especially with your insight on filmmaking. And hey, only 3 seasons and a movie :) Fargo’s a good watch too though, wouldn’t complain ;)

harpyangel47

yes we need James to see THE perfect man: Fbi special agent Dale Cooper. Seriously though, Twin Peaks reactions would be insanely good, especially from James

harpyangel47

I second this. Would be amazing

harpyangel47

Nah, do Twin Peaks man!

Mitchy D

Nay. Frustratingly close to good, but makes poor narrative choices.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

Personally I think it's overrated garbage, but you do you :)

Martin Nicholls

Then do MR ROBOT after please

Matt

Hands down Fargo is one of the best tv series ever made. Period.

They're really not real events, they just say that. It is I've of the best written, best shot, and wonderfully underrated shows I've ever seen. For me out is right up there with True Detective (season 1) and The Wire. If I could have one show erased from my memory so I could rewatch it for the first time I'm not sure which of those three I would pick.

I haven’t!!

James Adams

Yes definetly

Ivan Vas

Is that even a question…. Yes absolutely watch this! The events are based on true stories after all which makes this even more crazy. My favorite seasons are 1 and 4. Season 2 is really cool taking place in the 70’s and involves a character from the first season. Season 3 is OK but you can’t miss watching season 4 with Chris Rock’s stellar performance. Season 4 takes place in the 1940’s and is a must watch. Actually you could watch season 4 at any time because it doesn’t tie into other seasons.

Shaun

Peaky Blinders - This show will blow you away

Thomas Schultz

I vote yes. I think you’d also really like Succession if you checked it out. It won all the awards last year and it’s just a perfect show in every regard (cinematography, writing, music, performances)

I think you need to watch Twin Peaks first!

Brittyn Lindsey

I'm a nay. Gangs of London 1 season directed by Gareth Evans(Raid 1+2)

I vote NO. Sopranos, True Detective, The Wire, Rome, The Expanse

WhatRaySay

Honestly one of the best seasons of a show

Trevor Harty

Never could get into Fargo because it’s not the Coen brothers. It’s like a wannabe Coen Bros show. Since you are into sci-fi, recommend Person of Interest or Resident Alien. Also, since you liked Wind River, recommend Yellowstone TV Series (screenwriter/director of Wind River is the creator of this show) starring Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Gil Birmingham. Think The Godfather mixed with Giant and that’s this show.

Cody Price

Second the sopranos as well, amazing show with lots of atypical filmmaking and storytelling techniques for its genre!

Cal Graham

Yes!!!

Cal Graham

No watch The Sopranos instead. Or Gomorrah. Or The Night Of. or Six Feet Under

Nick Sneddon

Yeah man, for sure! It’s one of my all time favourites, starts out strong and keeps improving and refining as it goes on (I’ve seen the first three series). Seasons are self contained so it always feels fresh. Cast is always fantastic, too.

CozHog

Yes, please!! I know you will really enjoy it and have great commentary!

Yessica C

Yes, because it will give me motivation to watch season 3 and 4 before you catch up to them. No, because you should watch The Wire.

Richard Akhtar-Dobson

I know you've mentioned it in the past but if you ever got around to watching Mr Robot that would be sick, its one of the most original and creative shows when it comes to cinematography and i think it would be a great conversation starter for videos.

Antonio Ivic

Yes, it's a great show!

Sigurd Lillebo

Yes!

Zach McBride

fun!! have u ever seen the show Hannibal? seems right up your alley!!
