Last night the FX series "Fargo" begun. It was filmed largely in Bemidji, MN and Brainerd, MN; but the landscape is pretty much the same.
It was a bleak vision of human nature, with the fictional Fargo peopled with mousy men, bullies, shrewish wives all talking in a parody of the regional accent.
Moreover, there was too many commercials. There must have been at least a half-hour's worth. That's overkill, but I know those cable channels have to make ends meet somehow.
Anyway, I found it disappointing. And being showed so late (11 P.M.) that it was hard to stay awake after a busy evening.
I will give it another shot; but I hope it picks up.
I found it too dark for me.
ReplyDeleteWait, cable's not supposed to have commercials. That's why you pay for it! Pay TV, no commercials, right?
ReplyDeleteI watched it, and it was okay. Billy Bob Thornton was the star and did menace well.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching TV and waiting for the show breaks between commercials.
