It was confusing, I watched the lot it was OK, just not comparable to the first season.
Where as Fargo just gets better, for the first time I watched the 1987 movie Fargo also by the Coens, these people are genius you never know what to expect, the first and second series are just brilliant.
I think Fargo and well everything the Coens are involved in, is such top quality , its up there with Deadwood, Sopranos,Rome, Borgias, The Henry the 8th , Homeland and Blacklist, it goes on.
And if you like quality shows and absolute dynamite acting, have a look at the geriatric ward in "Getting on" the ward nurses the big head male nurse and, well, that doctor she is a gem , what acting!!!
When you watch these productions of good shows , well, where ever they are made, if the quality is up there alongside them, then you are eventually amazed at the way you look back at older times in the movie industry or TV , you see the brilliance of former movie stars and also the absolute non talent of some as well , who became movie stars none the less!
As for modern shows if they are not up there well they don't get watched.
My theory on these HBO quality shows is the do 8 to 12 episodes a year or 18 months, and the direction is tight and they get time to make the quality.
Its not like so many episodes made a week assembly line style, for lets face, it crappy soapies.
But in Australia some of the ABC's pick ups have been as brilliant , like Rake, Off Spring, Tangle, Time of our lives, Off Spring is on Ten though I think.
The ABC grabs on occasion the best there is and then the FTA's pick them up or foxtel.
Acting , becoming someone else, is a skill very very few do exceptionally and brilliantly at.
So don't miss the good ones. If you have missed up to now?
GO AND GET THEM FROM A SHOP AND DO SOME SUPER LONG TERM "EP ON EP" WATCHING!!!
By the time I got it fixed everyone was shitting on it so I didn't continue.
