Discussion: FARGO on FX @10pm Update: Season 5 w/ John Hamm

Great series...great ending although I am so NOT used to happy endings now that initially I didn't like it.

The fact that everything was so well connected...


not only to the existing storyline but to the movie too

But I still say the mailman isn't exactly a hero in my book.

If he hadn't being scared initially how many lives would have been saved?

Cause the reason we all supported Lester is because Malvo just went out of his way to fuck with him that night...

If he hadn't Lester wouldn't have done NONE of that stuff.

and Molly went extra hard...because she thought was right...but like her Dad said what IF you wrong though?

While she WAS handcuffed by the Chief her focus on Lester made her miss a lot of things...

and MY wife aint going out pregnant when I SPECIFICALLY told her not to.

And the tape?

Lester didn't EXACTLY confess..he said "the hammer".

C'mon on now?

And was the meaning of the glove story Molly told?

Loved the wolf!

This was an outstanding series HBO is slipping up big time cause I could argue this MIGHT have been better then True Detective.

And I really really enjoyed that series.
 
Fargo Season Two Will Feature Ronald Reagan and Feminism

With season two of FX's Fargo going back in time, network president John Landgraf shared some additional information today at a TCA panel about the 1970s-set story line. "It covers something that was referenced in the first installment by Lou Solverson, Molly Solverson’s [Allison Tolman] father," he said, according to EW. "It’s a big sprawling, in some ways, more comedic [season], though at times, a very serious show. It’s set in the late ’70s against the backdrop of Ronald Reagan’s first campaign for President of the United States. Reagan is a character in it."

EW and IGN both confirmed with Landgraf afterward that FX will be casting the role of Reagan — not using footage — and that his character will interact with others in a supporting role. Other information about the Reagan role, however, was unavailable. The second season will serve as a prequel (kind of) to the first, with attention centered on Lou Solverson's 1979 Sioux Falls incident. Landgraf reportedly added that the next installment will also be more comedic and feature feminism more prominently:

A lot of what it’s about is the cultural transformation that was going on at the time. ... It’s about the sense that the war has come home. It’s also about feminism, so there are some really significant female characters. It’s a big, sprawling, incredibly ambitious [series]. Noah [Hawley] just channeled the Coen brothers and tells stories in a way that’s so fresh and so surprising.​

Fargo's second ten-episode miniseries is slated for a fall premiere.
 
FX reveals new details about 'Fargo' season 2

Oh, you want new details on Fargo’s second season? You betcha, we got ‘em!
During TCA’s winter press tour, FX CEO John Langraf revealed that Ronald Reagan will figure into the second season of the network’s hit anthology series.

The new chapter travels back to 1979, where a young Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson, played in the first season by Keith Carradine) returns from Vietnam and begins to investigate a local gang and a mob syndicate.

“It covers something that was referenced in the first installment by Lou Solverson, Molly Solverson’s [Allison Tolman] father,” Langraf said. “It’s a big sprawling, in some ways, more comedic [season], though at times, a very serious show. It’s set in the late ’70s against the backdrop of Ronald Reagan’s first campaign for President of the United States. Reagan is a character in it.”


After the panel, Landgraf confided to EW that Fargo will actually be casting the role of Reagan, not using archival footage. “Reagan will be interacting with our characters,” he said, noting that the role has not yet been cast.

Joining Wilson in the second season: Ted Danson as Hank Larsson, Lou’s unflappable father-in-law; Nick Offerman as Karl Weathers, a local lawyer; Jean Smart as Floyd Gerhardt, the matriarch of the Gerhardt crime family; Jeffrey Donovan as her eldest son, Dodd Gerhardt; Angus Sampson as her inarticulate middle son, Bear Gerhardt; Kieran Culkin as her youngest son, Rye Gerhardt; and Kirsten Dunst as small town beautician Peggy Blomquist, and her husband Ed (Jesse Plemons), who attempts to be supportive of his wife’s self-discovery, even if he doesn’t quite understand it.

In that vein, Langrad noted that feminism will play a big role in the second season. “A lot of what it’s about is the cultural transformation that was going on at the time,” Landgraf said. “It’s about the sense that the war has come home. It’s also about feminism, so there are some really significant female characters. It’s a big, sprawling, incredibly ambitious [series]. Noah [Hawley] just channeled the Coen brothers and tells stories in a way that’s so fresh and so surprising.”

The second season of Fargo is slated to begin production on Monday, with the 10-episode anthology miniseries expected to premiere in the fall.
 
Season 2 of Fargo Will Follow Young Lou Solverson in Sioux Falls

As reported earlier today at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, FX ordered a second season of Fargo for fall 2015. And as many of you had speculated, the next edition will be set in Sioux Falls circa 1979. To jog your memory about the season finale: Molly’s dad, diner owner Lou Solverson, tells Lorne Malvo that he’d left behind his state trooper job decades ago because of a ghastly incident that took place in Sioux Falls, involving bodies “stacked so high, you could’ve climbed to the second floor.”

“I’d call it animal except animals only kill for food,” he said. Season two will follow the events leading up to that incident, picking up with Lou as a 33-year-old man recently back from Vietnam, along with his 4-year-old daughter, Molly. (Alas, that means neither Keith Carradine nor Emmy nominee Allison Tolman will be returning.)

Executive producer Noah Hawley told reporters Monday at FX’s press tour session that the year before Ronald Reagan was elected as the nation’s president felt particularly fertile for a true crime story. “It was the best of America vs. the worst of America. There was a sense this war had come home with people. Lou fought in Vietnam, came home and thought he’d left the war behind and here it is. It’s domestic now,” he said.

Hawley also revealed that we’ll meet and learn what happened to Molly’s mother, and explore the early relationship between Lou and Lieutenant Ben Schmidt, Gus’s old boss in Duluth. Events will take place in Laverne, Minnesota, Sioux Falls, and, yes, Fargo.

Hawley wrote every episode in the first season but will be sharing the wealth in season two with the four writers who helped him break story. “It would be unfair not to let them write a script,” he said. The period piece will look to a different set of Coen brothers movies for inspiration as well, including Miller’s Crossing and The Man Who Wasn’t There (starring, of course, Fargo season one baddie Billy Bob Thornton).

One thing that won’t change between seasons? The Coen brothers’ minimal level of participation. Though they signed off on the original pilot script, the Coens “are not really interested in a day-to-day creative involvement,” Hawley said.
 
FARGO SEASON 2: RONALD REAGAN WILL BE A CHARACTER

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/18/fargo-season-2-ronald-reagan-will-be-a-character

With casting nearly complete for the second season of FX's Golden Globe winning drama, Fargo, President of FX John Landgraf has revealed new details about the storyline. "It's about a time of cultural change," Landgraf said at Sunday's TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour. "It takes place with Ronald Reagan's campaign as a backdrop," Landgraf said. "Reagan in a character in it."

Now, "being a character" in a film or television series can sometimes be a metaphoric phrase. New York is often a character in a series, for example. IGN had the opportunity to follow up with Landgraf, to clarify what Reagan's role will be in the series.

He will, in fact, function as a supporting character. They are casting an actor to play the then would-be President, who comes through the area while campaigning and interacts with Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) who is assigned to his protection detail. No details on the actor who is set to play the role, yet.

As has been reported, the series functions as a prequel of sorts. Set in 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Fargo Season 2 follows a young State Police Officer Lou Solverson (played by Keith Carradine in Season 1) and explores the famous "Sioux Falls" case, which the character referenced several times during the show's first season. Solverson, recently back from war, is called upon to investigate a case involving a local crime gang and a major Mob syndicate.

"In some ways [this season] is more comedic," Landgraf said. "But there are still dramatic elements. It's about cultural transformation. War has come home – Solverson is a Vietnam war vet - and it's also about feminism. There are some significant female characters, as Molly was in Season 1. This is a big sprawling, incredibly ambitious, fresh and surprising series. I can’t do it justice. All I can say is that I love the scripts. I'm excited about cast. The entire production is a first rate team. Everything that comes out looks fantastic."

It was genre defining

To me it is one of the ideals on how to successfully translate a film to tv...great use of basic cable to.

If you can't do what they did you have no right to do a film based drama...

Action and Sci fi are different animal but the standard should still be as high.

Cause except for the finale Battlestar was an excellent upgrade too.

nah wasnt joking billy was awesome.

Bruce Campbell, Sam from USA's Burn Notice is playing Reagan so hopefully his role is extensive. It sort of makes sense they'd use Campbell since he's been cool with the Coen brothers from starving artist days plus Mike from BN is in it too. Either way I'm pumped to see how this story unfolds.


He sorta looks more like George Bush Sr. & Mitt Romney in this pic though...maybe all republicans look a like :dunno:

I low key expected Josh Brolin to be Reagan, but he was already W. for Oliver Stone...
