New unconfirmed reports are saying that an additional reason Fuller and Green left American Gods was their butting heads with Neil Gaiman over the direction the series was headed. Probably true because Gaiman has already said there was a fight about the first episode where Fuller wanted Shadow to have sex with Laura's friend after the funeral instead of turning her down. With Gaiman having to put his foot down saying that it was absolutely against Shadow's character to do that.

Thing is...it's another medium. Like it's nice that they include Gaiman's input at all, but you do what works right for the show.

Just using that example, Gaiman was 100% right and his change made the scene much better.

I’ve only seen the first two seasons but I enjoyed them quite a bit. The first season is probably closest to the film in tone.

They don't really have much to actually do with each other. Mostly the only connection is that the TV series takes place is the world of the movie.

I actually enjoy the Fargo series as a whole even more than the movie, especially Season 1, which is drat near perfect. 2 was still really good, and 3 had great moments but couldn't match the greatness of 1 and 2. If you like the movie or the Coen Brothers' work in general (since the Fargo series pays homage to all their movies with subtle references), you must watch it.

Season 3 was alright, but Carrie Coon is amazing so whatever the actual rating of the series is it gets an extra 10% because of her.

Just to prepare you for what comes next:

Season 4 is a disappointment for a few reasons: Chief among them, they unwisely try to do their spin on a serial killer plot, which doesn't leave a lot of room for Hood to go buck-wild on some fools. Then you have the production's move to Pennsylvania proper being really jarring, Greg Yaitanes leaving to work on Quarry (which you might want to try out after this), and if you’re not a fan of Eliza Dushku, you're more likely to let out a big giant "well, poo poo" at some point.

HAVING SAID THAT...the finale is perfect, and actually got me a little emotional. Most if not all the surviving characters get fantastic sendoffs. It's just a shame you have to go through seven episodes of whatever to get there.

BTW, you know there are post-credit scenes in almost every episode, right? Don't worry about going back if you missed them, just remember that for the last episode in particular if you want a nice little button for the show itself.

It took me a long time to notice this :downs:

By the way, Banshee probably has the biggest gap between the quality of the show and the quality of the intro. Or in other words: the intro is loving garbage.

Dushku is actually quite good in season 4 despite the season being slower paced. I should really start a rewatch.

I like most Coen Brothers movies, though I haven't seen all of them.

They've done a couple of adaptations before. You know what I would love to see the Coen Brothers adapting either as a tv show or a movie? Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe mysteries. I reckon that would be in their wheelhouse.

I really love the way it changes every episode (though paying too close attention completely spoils at least one character death). It's cheap, sure, but in exchange for being modular and flexible.
