Looks good to me!

Hail Fargo!  In with both feet since Jerry Lundegaard drove his car with that Olds with the factory undercoat on the trailer toward me over the hill in the snow as the orchestral sound track cranked up. Bring it on!

Any hint of a release date?  Didn’t see it in the linked article.

It had potential to be great but disappointed in my opinion. I thought Tim Olyphant was wasted. I’d watch it during time of little to watch. It might be better bingeing vs as a weekly drop. I’ll likely wait on S5 to complete and binge it.

Nice! A proper Home Alone 3 just in time for the Holidays. 

Ha.  Just what I was thinking.

This is a terribly named thread…

Nice first 2 eps. Lost count of all the easter eggs. Love Juno Temple and Dave Foley is a treasure.

Y'all were burying the lead that Dave Foley is in this one

I've kinda been out (kineduh bin oat) since the end of Season 2, but this looks great.

I didn't know the actor's name, but immediately recognized Lamorne Morris from "New Girl" where I always really enjoyed his demeanor and timing.

Great start.  Bad ass Juno is awesome.

Glad I waited to watch it on DVR because the commercial load is ridiculous.

im all in on this one. intense! fantastic cast. loving the soundtrack!

also i don't know if she's had any work done, if so it's good/subtle...but JJL looks great.

My brain turned inside out at the scene with skinny lead actress housewife pdycho mom knitting on the couch as masked guy walked up onto the deck . . . 

Homages left and right like golden Easter eggs.  Great stuff.  Music has big juice.

First two episodes- big thumbs up

”Anyone takes my stuff does not get to live.”

Can’t get JJL, as she was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, out of my head. Which makes me think of Phoebe Cates’ fine face, ass and tawny, perfect tits . . . Uhhh, . . . I gotta go!

I wondered why he was chipping with his driver

I'm getting a Hudsucker vibe.

In the 2nd episode and loving it. So many homages to Fargo the movie, and the Big Lebowski too.

Csb he’s friends with my little brother. Nicest guy and super talented.

What’s with that Boston Brahmin weird accent she uses in different roles.

I legit loled when they brought out the guns for the Christmas card picture

Jon Hamm started episode 2 off almost word for word like No Country started. I fuckin love this already.

Hamm's new wife > old wife.  He didn't want "helpless hitchhiker?"  Also needs a better master bedroom.

I think he just kicked it up a notch or two this week

Dude's a perfect blend of Cigur and Steve Buscemi's counterpart from Fargo.

Also, I like how they're finally getting the locational filming to match the listed setting.  Scandia is a quasi-suburb of Twin Cities near the St Croix River and looks the part.  Stark County, ND is way out on the west side of the state, and looks it.

The one thing that's always pedantically annoyed me as someone who lives basically in this part of the country is all the topographic/biome inaccuracies in contrast to their setting.  In the movie, they have Brainerd PD out on the prairie when Brainerd's in the woods.  In Season 2, Luverne is set in the north woods and it's out on the prairie.  Shit like that.

Do I need to have watched the Chris Rock season that I assume was the most recent season in order to follow this? I would assume heavily not based on my recollection of the series but I feel like there’s been maybe a little carry over?

Not at all.  They take place six decades apart.

So someone who has not watched any Fargo, movie or TV, can jump into this and enjoy it?

I actually did watch the movie but it's been so many years that I can only remember bits and pieces.

I would think so.  The call backs that those of us familiar with this universe are celebrating aren't necessary to understanding what's going on in this series.  Fargo the show essentially functions with each season being a stand alone story that has a few Easter Egg/cross over elements to other parts of the Coenverse that only enhance the experience for those in the know.

Yes.  I did not watch the previous season (and maybe even the one before it).  Each season is self-contained in terms of story. Even if you didn't see the movie you would be fine; you'd just miss out on all the references/familiarities. For example, and this is not really a spoiler, the husband of the female protagonist runs a car dealership.

And in both the movie and this season the couple who experienced the kidnapping have a dynamic of one coming from wealth, and the other not coming from wealth.  The wealthy family is a side character in both stories.

The kidnappers in both cases are a large, stoic, European man, and a smaller American man with a mustache.

In both stories the abductions happen in suburban Minneapolis, and the abductors take the victims west out on to the plains.

Both stories feature a strong willed female police officer investigating the crimes, who has to come home to deadbeat-ish/layabout husbands.

Ok, I'll quit.

I couldn't even finish that season. Loved season 1 through 3, and this one so far though.

So is this show like True Detective where each season is separate from the others?  I have not watched seasons 1-4 but I love Jon Hamm.
