Loving this so far. The feel of the end of the 70s, Nick Offerman, it's all so good.

Still really confused to that UFO dontchaknow.

Very different from what I was expecting, though now I'm not sure what that even was. Really liked it, and am looking forward to (hopefully) another great season

I shot people I like more for less.
Preview looked great.

Great first episode!

Anyone know the name of the end credits song?

Believe it's "Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby," but not sure who was singing it. Might remember it as the song the sirens were singing in O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Can't wait for this season. So cool to see the end of the decade.

Also those split screen shots!! So great.

So many nods to the Coens' oeuvre in just that episode. That scene with Offerman would have fit right into The Big Lebowski.

Thanks, that's it. Wish I could find this particular cover of it. Hopefully it'll be on the soundtrack.

For sure, he was great there.

I was just reading Alan Sepinwall's review and he lists the songs:

Songs from the episode include a live version of Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" (playing over the Jimmy Carter montage), "Children of the Sun" by Billy Thorpe (Rye stalks the judge), "I Love You" by J.C. Akins (Ed drives home to Peggy), and a cover of "Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby" (from the Coens' "O Brother, Where Art Thouh?") by Noah Hawley himself and "Fargo" composer Jeff Russo, over the closing credits

I'm a bit afraid about the "increased comedy" element. Fargo S1 had just the right balance and it never really got to "HAHA LOOK SO ABSURD RIGHT" (though the fish from the sky thing was borderline). I don't think the show will work if that takes center stage. There were a lot of subtly tragic moments in there too, if they go overboard then those will lose their gravitas.

The anthology format is quickly becoming my absolute least favorite format for storytelling, but this was a pretty solid premiere. Fargo might just warm me to this whole model.

Great episode! The whole diner scene was nuts. And Dunst driving off with the guy on the hood was perfect. I like seeing the Solversons as well. Little Molly <3

Can't wait for the next episode!

ahem

*sigh-reens

I'm glad Fargo was able to maintain its quality, unlike a certain other anthology show on HBO. Was Jesse Plemons wearing a fat suit or did he bulk up for the role?
 
Really great premiere with an even more stellar second half. I hope it's not too much of a retread of season 1 but it'll most likely still be great.
