Fargo is the shit. Not "shit", THE shit

Yeah, it is quite good. Pretty much a Cohens tribute which happens to take place in the Fargo universe. For example, Billy Bob Thorton's character is obviously derived from the No Country character, Chigurh-- and there are a lot of Easter eggs, like at the motel there's a sign for white Russians being on special.

But in doing a tribute, I feel like they trip up on themselves at times. For example, they can be a bit heavy handed with the fade edits, and they often feel misused. But, even still, this sort of adds charm for me, since they are so clearly Cohen's fanboys. Their over enthusiasm almost makes it better than someone flawlessly aping the Cohen's style.
