Fargo Reloaded

The series draws on many images and figures of the movie, but tells a different, more complex story. Jerry Lundegaard, the hapless car salesman from Fargo, the movie is, here Lester Nygaard and works at an insurance agency. Humiliated by his wife, unsuccessfully in the job and professional and private trumped by his younger brother, Lester is the typical loser, a sausage from a man. On the road, he is approached by his former schoolmate Sam Hess, who beat Lester in the presence of his two sons dumb. Goes with a broken nose which. In the emergency room, where he tells a stranger from his experience That's Lorne Malvos, a professional killer, who is stuck after an accident in the city. A short time later he killed Hess. And then derailed a dispute Lester with his wife: `Do you know why I always closed my eyes during sex? So I can imagine a real man! ' Lester, fueled by cheap triumph over his tormentor, she kills with a hammer. Thus a fateful chain of events is set in motion. Henceforth whizzes Lester down a slippery slope that turns out to be hell slide.

The plot is full of bizarre twists and grotesque situations, but their is a simple, though effective human image based on: There is the stupid sheep who believe in good and evil, to television, the marriage and the principle of guilt and punishment. And there are the wolves that are out of order and accept no rules. Policewoman Molly Solverson is representative of the sheep and bring the superior, cynically intelligent predator, presented fascinating by Billy Bob Thornton, who alternates seamlessly between philosophically tinged Charming Boy and cold killer, at the end with persistence to track. With realism that has nothing to do; who expects stringent policing and logically comprehensible plot development, the hair should wrestle. But as evocative parable about good and evil work the series and draws the audience into the spell. Although they do not come close to the density of the movie, but can coexist with him. Anyone who loves the film, is reflected in the ten episodes of the first season much of the atmosphere of the precursor, and that alone is worth watching.
