FX’s hit series Fargo (Tuesdays, 10/9C) is set in a very specific world – one that was created by Joel and Ethan Coen in their brilliant film of the same name. We not only gave the series an A+ grade (which it has maintained through eight episodes, counting tonight’s), we said, ‘You won’t believe it’s […]

Last week, Bob Odenkirk took an hour out of his day to speak with a group of journalists/bloggers about his role, Police Chief Bill Oswalt on FX’s Fargo (Tuesdays, 10/9C).

Fargo: You Won’t Believe It’s Not The Coen Brothers!
FX has another top notch show on its hands with Fargo (Tuesdays, 10/9C) – an expansion of the Coen Brothers’ hit movie. By expansion, I mean it tells an entirely new story, with all new characters, in the Minnesota of the movie – and it’s so good it earned the Coen Brothers’ blessing.

Fargo’s Mischief-Maker – Billy Bob Thornton!
One of the most interesting – and entertaining – aspects of FX’s Fargo (Tuesdays, 10/9C) is Billy Bob Thornton’s portrayal of Lorne Malvo, a kind of fixer for an unnamed criminal organization. He’s an oddity because he’s capable of dispassionate murder but that’s not his job. He’s kind of the ultimate criminal jack-of-all trades – […]
Aw Jeez! It’s a First Look at Fargo!
Fargo is, for my money, one of the most darkly funny movies ever made – and, with Grit, perhaps the best of the Coen Brothers movies. The news of a Fargo TV series filled me, simultaneously, with joy and dread. It helped it had the Coen Brothers’ blessing (they’re executive producers on the series), but […]
