I'm excited for this. Especially since there are no shows I watch Tuesdays at 10 anyway.

Bob Odenkirk was my favorite last night besides the wonderful Billy Bob Thornton! I hope it did well in the ratings. Also, Kate Walsh from Private Practice did well in playing the ex-wife of

Lester Nygaard channeling Lester Burnham. That poster "What if you are right and they are wrong" really woke the beast in him. Great pilot

Last night's episode ("Buridan's Ass") was absolutely superb. I just hope they didn't shockingly kill off Molly. I like the character and Allison Tollman's portrayal far too much.

Not sure if the show is portraying the SWAT team as stupid or just a cover up when they ruled Chumph's death as suicide by cop. I would have believed cover up but its hard to tell when half the town population don't seem to be smart at all.

This is a great series. Often hilarious, yet also extremely suspenseful. They have done a wonderful job crafting a television series in the spirit of the Coen brothers.

I loved the entire scene with Lester and Malvo at the hotel bar + elevator, outstanding stuff. 90-minute finale, should be pretty epic.

Great finale. Both Malvo and Lester deserved what they got in the end. In the beginning, Lester was someone you could feel for but turned into a douche especially for framing his brother and having his second wife take the bullet for him. One thing that is missing is that there was no update on what happened with Stravros after the death of his son.

A very good season finale to an absolutely superb first season. On a human level, it pleased me to see good winning out over evil. The ends for Malvo and Lester felt pretty appropriate; Gus got his redemption and Lester's karma finally bit him in the ass. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was that there didn't end up being a scene between Molly and Malvo.

But still, this was a triumph of a first season. I came away from it really incredibly impressed with Martin Freeman and Allison Tolman.

I honestly believe this series is slightly superior to True Detective.

That's definitely interesting, although I was hoping they'd find a way to include Molly in the second season. I just loved Allison Tolman's performance so much.

I think it's outrageous that she got nominated for "supporting actress". She's the lead IMO.


She has far better chances at winning in the suppourting category than against Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson in the lead.

Nvm. She's up against Bates, Roberts, Conroy and the other one from Coven. You should be glad she was just nominated. Lol

I actually think Tolman will win her category.

I don't see any of the Coven ladies winning, so I think Tolman is in a really good position, especially since she's the show's best shot at an acting win. Roberts could beat her though if THe Normal Heart dominates.

What a great show. Top to bottom excellence. Who knew a not-remake of Fargo would end up being this good? Awesome cast too. Thornton, Freeman, Hanks and Tolman were all superb. And the supporting cast: Odenkirk, Carradine, Platt, Goldberg, Howerton, Key, Peele. Everyone was so good.

It's a shame Keith Carradine won't be playing his character in Season 2. I was waiting for a more pivotal scene or two for him.

I feel like this might be the first time where I've seen Colin Hanks as a solid actor in his own right and not just Tom's son.

I decided to give this another go a few days ago so I'd be ready for the second season. This show plays SO much better without commercials - to the point where I think I'm going to buy the second season on iTunes just to avoid them. Really riveting stuff. And I LOVE Alison Tolman and Colin Hanks here.

On episode 8 now.

Just finished the first season - fantastic stuff. I agree with others - better than True Detective's first season.
