Can't believe he forgot "Uff da!"

I love Minnesota. One of my favorite states. But one of the things I like about it so much is the lack of crowds. So everyone keep trash talkin it. Keep the riff raff out, don'cha know.

Didn't anyone else watch last night?

The episode was written and directed by Noah Hawley himself, and I love him. And I enjoyed it. But I found the tone confusing. Fargo always has had comedic overtones over a dramatic base, but in this episode it seemed as though the drama and comedy didn't quite mesh well??

The nurse's walking pattern is so incredibly fabulous. I wonder if the actress or Hawley came up with it.

I saw the first episode. I think there is just too much to try for a movie length watch so I will break this thing up. Like all the other seasons I am confused at this point and wondering if someone will stand out like Billy Bob Thornton's Malvo did.

Season 2 is not as fun as Season 1. Alot slower and less action. Characters are fine but I am not a fan of Ted Danson.

I'm not really impressed with Season 4. I didn't see season 1 but did watch and liked Seasons 2 and 3.

Chris Rock is fine as a comedic actor but I don't buy him as a 1950 gangster. He's just Chris Rock saying lines. I half expect him to burst out into some comedy routine.

I won't continue watching this season. It seems a bit different to the other 2 Seasons that I've watched. Slow moving.

Deleted from the DVR.

I have seen the first two episodes. The cast is great, and there are definitely some great moments. But as a whole ... yeah, it's moving too slow. Definitely not as good as previous seasons --- at least so far.

I'm not ready to give up on it yet. But my excitement has waned.

Im not buying the storyline. I do like the murder-nurse, very FARGO-esque. Ill try to finish the series.
