Fargo


I haven't seen this show so please no spoilers. Given that this is written by Noah Hawley is there any similarities to Fargo? Loved that show so was wondering how they compare.

Well, Adam Goldberg is my favourite in both, and in both shows he is part of an entertaining partnership.

Both shows have a smattering of strange supernatural-seeming things in between more plausible plotlines.

Strangely, the more fleshed out Fargo has more clichéd characters than The Unusuals. Women seem to be all unpleasant (except for the main character, she's an awesome lady) and all male children are stupid. Actually, most grown up men are stupid, too.

A great thing that Fargo has though and The Unusual doesn't is *a satisfying ending*. That's very important.

I shall give it a go. Lots of people had a problem with Fargo's ending but I loved. Also I loved Wrench and Numbers so another Adam Goldberg partnership would be great. Thank you

I'm about halfway through the series and that explains why I've been seeing so many people who were also in Fargo. In addition to Adam Goldberg there's Joshua Close and Susan Park who were also in Fargo.
