I'm super excited for Fargo, one of my all time favortie movies and Billy Bob Thorton seems like a perfect fit for this roll. 

The only bad thing is I have to go to work at 11 and won't get to watch it all live. At least I have DVR.

we were sold the same lies through our american press.  Houligans, drunken fans.  The whole tragedy was sickening.  The truth was much different wasn't it.

The movie itself was fascinating as I've only ever read about the series of events through various web sites.  But nothing laid out the sequence of events quite like this film.

There were a couple minor inaccuracies pertaining to recent events, one being the empty 96 seats were at the FA Cup at Wembley this weekend not at Anfield.

One thing I thought the film lacked was the passion that Liverpool fans have shown on these memorial days.  I seriously don't know how their fans just don't burst out in tears everytime they sing You'll Never Walk Alone.  This weekends YNWA was as loud and passionate as any I've ever heard.  There was never any mention of the clubs lack of success since Hillsborough and how those events cast such a dark pall over the club for such a long, long time.

It also didn't mention that the sweet older women who wasn't allowed to hug her dead son, named Jones I think, passed away last spring just a few days after it was announced a new inquiry would be ordered.

I cannot imagine the pain those people have felt for 25 years, I'm not sure there is any kind of justice that can be found for them.

Was there any mention of who ordered/carried out the re-writing of all the police statements?

As the one bobbie said, last he heard, changing evidence is a crime.

Glad there are people determined to get the truth out.

I've had truck drivers come through from northern MN and ND whom I've confused with Scandanavian immigrants, so thick was their accent.  Last summer a husband and wife team came through that sounded like the Marg and Norm.   Course I've also spoken to some that sounded as if they came from an indistinct part of the great lakes region.

No. I'm a Minnesota native and people don't have that extreme of accents, but it is funny to see on TV. In the Twin Cities there really isn't much deviation from a standard Midwestern accent, and up north you start to hear it a bit but not terribly bad. The "aw shucks" attitude they portray is more on point though. Really liked this first episode.

FX has some really great series'...





SONS OF ANARCHY!

Justified.

Hopefully Fargo lives up to the hype.

'The Americans' didn't work for me tho.

Now to mention favorites like Always Sunny...

I tried with The Americans. The first few episodes from S1 were alright...but after that it didn't keep me reeled in.



And shows like 'The Shield' and 'Law and Order' and 'CSI'...aren't my thing.



But when Cops is on...I'll grab me a bud light and get down.



Right now, I'm almost done with Breaking Bad...



Walking dead or Game of thrones next?

Or something else? Opinions?!

I love the Walking Dead so you should watch that too but Game of Thrones is possibly the best series on television at the moment. I just started it about a month ago on Project free TV and I couldn't stop. I'm caught up to the live airings now and season 4 could be the best yet and it's only two episodes old.

Yep GoT and Walking Dead are great.  I also am absolutely loving the first two episodes of Turn on AMC so far.  Another good one that I just watched is the first season of Black Sails (on Starz).  And Vikings (History Channel) is pretty awesome too if you haven't seen that yet.

I've heard some people say that The Black List is good.  I liked the first few episodes but it got silly when every week they catch a new super-criminal/terrorist.  I don't really like one hour self contained shows anymore.  Instead I prefer the series format.

And yeah, Project Free TV is the best.

The Blacklist is Ok, nothing spectacular.  For me, The best shows on Network are Person of Interest and Hannibal.  Hannibal is my favorite show on TV, period, and that is coming from a huge Game of Thrones fan.  This season of Hannibal has been incredible, and still a few episodes until it is done.  Walking Dead is too up and down for me to include it in, but it is still a very good show.  I enjoyed this Fargo a lot.  It should be a great 10 episode story.

So many good shows, so little time... Just watch s3 ep2 of Veep. The comedic writing just gets better and better... very looking forward to Fargo. Will watch before catching up on Game of Thrones.

I definitely give it a thumbs up.  Obviously, it won't appeal to everyone, but if you liked the movie, this series definitely has a similar vibe and so far is just as good.
