Love it but..:


There is no way this is true and I can't seem to find any period what so ever that this all happened. Loved the show and I love it's storytelling but I hate today's overuse of movies and shows claiming to be true

Keep looking, LOL.

Alright so obviously I'm missing something lol it says at the beginning of every episode that it's a true story?

Fargo is much of a true story as is the Loch Ness monster. 

I said there's no way it can be true? Why are they allowed to call it a true story then?

You must have hated the movie "Fargo".

I haven't seen it. And I said I love the show in the original post

Yeah, I am sure the Federal Bureau of True Crime Stories will start an investigation soon into this...

This is Agent Wagger from the FBTCS, my colleague Agent Finger is on the other line.

I'm here to investigate a report... err, are you saying this isn't in fact a true crime story?

There is a lot to the story of why it is called a "true" story and much you can read about this on the Web.

For one thing something does not have to be completely factual to be called "true." There is so much about this series that brings in real stories of things which happened to real people though not in the same place as shown or at the same time as shown -- such as the kid who gets bullied all his life and stays meek and mild until one day the tables get turned either by accident or Intent and he his able to get rid of his bully. So that is a true story -- and probably for more than one person in this world -- even though it's just being used as part of the mosaic structure that makes up this particular series. It is a series of true stories. Which make it as a whole a "true" story.

In fact, I cannot be sure that the original movie actually happened in Fargo, the one case you can find about someone being put through a wood chipper happened in one of the New England states and not North Dakota -- though something similar may have happened there.

Anyway, in a way it is kind of a little in-joke among the show-creators to call it a true story.

Yes, it can be disturbing to me for some stories to be called "true" when there is not a particle of anything true about them, but for some stories you have to give a kind of "willing suspense of disbelief" and accept or adopt a different definition of the word "true" as not meaning precisely factual, but true in the sense of the significance of actions and events in the real world plus the thought and feelings attached to the things real people do.
