Great opening. Loved the cast. Loved Fat Damon.

 

[SURGEdude]

I really liked the "oh crap" from the judge when the gun was pulled. Such a great and totally midwestern touch.

Loved it too. That whole exchange was so dark but hilarious.

Overall I thought it wasn't quite as good as the pilot but still great. Hoping The Knick has as good a start tomorrow.

 

[saunderez]

Woah. Angus Sampson is in this. I mean there's more important stuff to talk about, but that surprised me.

Me too. He's done well for himself, I remember him fondly from his Thank God You're Here days. Good stuff.

Fantastic episode. Did not know the seasons are connected, I wonder if this will be the case

Spoiler

Lou talked about in the last episode of S1

Seen the premiere 3 times already and I'm still fiending for more. I thought last season's was more eventful and had more happen plotwise. But this year it was shot better and the show has a swagger to it that last season's premiere lacked. Probably due to the 70s setting and Hawley being able to do his own thing a little more.

I am so glad they kept Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers' theme hell they didn't just keep it, they blasted it after Otto had the stroke.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Loved Fat Damon.

Thats exactly what i was thinking.

 

[Toothless]

I thought the grey part in the opening was pretty funny. The part where the white guy said he was a Jew and knew about how tough things are to the Aboriginal guy made me LMAO. The conversation between the coked out younger brother and the judge was also funny to me. I can't wait to see that Reagan character. Should be a real knee-slapper.

Oh yeah, I thought the opening was great humor-wise. Just was hoping for more of that. I'm aware though that is essentially a pilot and setting up stories. Looking forward to seeing more.

Oh yeah, when they played that with the car cam, I had a big smile on my face.

The opening of the premiere was worryingly not good, but everything that came after it was reassuring.

And I'm not typically impressed by casts alone, but damn. Even Brad Garrett was bringing the gravitas.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

So glad this is back.

 

[Walpurgis]

I guess it could have been funnier but like you said, it was just a pilot and man was it packed with a bunch of story lines. The creators have actually said that this season is supposed to be funnier than the first (which was really funny) so I think it's safe to expect more humour when things slow down.

 

[Speevy]

They're still missing the suspense of the Coen brothers, but I liked it.

I'm not sure why they'd waste Kieran Culkin in the first episode though. Looked like a really solid performance in the making.

Maybe they'll have flashbacks or something. I agree with you though.

 

[Mimosa97]

What's the link between this season and the first one ?

 

[Corpekata]

What's the link between this season and the first one ?

One of the main characters is the character played by Keith Carradine in the 1st season but younger, and it focuses on the story he mentioned a couple times about the worst case he ever had.

Oh okay now I remember

Thanks

Yay, finally home and got to watch this tonight. Great premiere. Loved the camera work and the characters right from the start. Hope this continues to deliver.

Yay, finally home

Welcome back!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Great.

Fuck my life. All the time I thought that guy was Tobey Maguire and I thought "How nice, Mary Jane and Peter Parker are together again".

I really don't know why I thought it was him.

 

[Herbs]

Just re-watching Season 1 and totally missed the Gustafson Parking Garage reference the first time around. This series is just awesome.

 

[spuckthew]

I started watching season one last night. First episode was brilliant. I fell asleep 5 minutes into the second episode (it was late), but started from the beginning this morning as soon as I woke up and then I watched the third episode straight after. Absolutely loving the show so far and I'm fully intending to marathon the remaining 7 episodes today.

Explain

 

[Herbs]

Explain

During the whole side plot to the Oliver Platt storyline, someone mentions going to the drop at Gustafson Parking lot. The father in the movie owned Parking lots and his last name was Gustafson. I like little nods like that.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Great.

I really don't know why I thought it was him.

Ignoring key differences (no accent, differnt name, not getting killed?), I would swear he is supposed to be a younger version of Steve Buscemi's character from the movie. Both are equally pretty pathetic until they pull out their guns and both the parking lot scene from the movie and the diner scene play out similarly with the latter being a lot more violent.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

18 minutes into the first episode, and I'm just loving it. In a weird way, Fargo reminds me of Review, in that, the shows make you laugh at the darkest things. I couldn't help but giggle at the far shot when

the waitress is slowly shuffling away while Culkin is angrily reloading his gun. But then immediately gasped when he shot her

. This show is a rollercoaster of emotions!

Edit : then

what the fuck?! UFO's?!

 

[andycapps]

Finally watched the S2 premiere. Incredible. What a start.

Jesse Plemons looks like he got stung by a whole beehive.

Okay then!

 

[Dennis]

Great.

No, no, it was not just you. I thought it might be Tobey as well.

 

[Blackhead]

No, no, it was not just you. I thought it might be Tobey as well.

I was wondering how they could afford Tobey Maguire and Matt Damon.

Yeah for sure lol.

This has been a good episode so far. The casting is seriously so good. Jeffrey Donovan has been great so far.

 

[Baroquemantic]

This ain't gonna end well.

Edit: This dude is great. Sounds just like a Dave Chappelle character.

That was intense.

Yep. I can't ever remember his name, but I've seen him in a ton of movies.

Haha, yeah they kinda do.

 

[IronRinn]

That doesn't bode well.
