Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLester (Martin Freeman) rehearsing what he was going to tell Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) when he comes to his house ("What did you do?") is a homage to Jerry rehearsing his phone call to his father-in-law ("I don't know what to do; it's Jean.") in Fargo (1996).
- GoofsWhen Lester and Lorne are waiting at the emergency room, a sign behind them points the way to "Eye Casualty." Eye casualty is a distinctly British term not used in the United States, but it is in Canada, where the show was filmed. American hospitals would have signs for Eye Trauma or Eye Injury.
It would be impossible to find a Canadian province less likely to be "distinctly British" than Alberta.
Of course there's Quebec, also known for anti-British sentiment, but then the sign would read "Accident oculaire".
- Quotes
Lorne Malvo: I'm gonna roll my window up, then I'm going to drive away and you're gonna go home to your daughter. And every few years you're gonna look at her face and know that you're alive because you chose not to go down on a certain road on a certain night. That you chose to walk into the light instead of into the darkness.

Featured review
If you "Fargo" me - I will "Fargo" you
My first thought before watching the show was: could any other thing be better than the real thing? The same question I'm asking my self when I watch the film based on a book or the remake of something good and old. Most of the time I end up comparing it putting the book - first good thing at the fist place: the original before the mirror. Now when I've watched the pilot episode I left all my bias behind. It's darkness, humor, odd twists and naturally confused various characters made me to forget about "Fargo before" at the moment. All I could think about Fargos was that everything we do has its consequences and we can run from it, but can't run away forever. This show is so good that you'll run through it in one fell swoop and you'll end up asking for more.
