Give me the Coen brothers award winning movie any day of the week. The entire cast was great. Never understand why TV thinks they can do better than a movie classic.
“In 2006, the film was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress and inducted into the United States National Film Registry for preservation, making it one of six films to have been preserved in their first year of eligibility.[5] The American Film Institute named it one of the 100 greatest American movies of all time in 1998.”
Not sure the purpose of the TV Fargo is because “they” think they can do better than the movie. Rather it is to just to continue with the genre to the small screen. Fans of the movie are most likely the largest viewer base for the TV program, but that is speculation on my part. I like it and only see a few other programs on TV that are as good as entertainment as it is.
