Fargo.S00E00-442
33x15MB
A funny, pilot for a proposed TV-spinoff of "Fargo,"
filmed in 1997 but never viewed publicly until Trio
Cable's "Brilliant But Cancelled" festival.
Marge Gunderson, the still pregnant police chief of
Brainerd, Minnesota, investigates the murder of a
town pharmacist, shot in a snowy parking lot by a
stranger who was helping jump his car battery.
Meantime, an old man dies of exposure in his ice
fishing house, leading one of his sons to kidnap the
body.
This show successfully continued many of the quirky,
endearing elements of the movie, depsite the Coen
Bros. non-participation. Wonderful use of
northwestern locations and snow, snow, everywhere.
A little too much like "Northern Exposure," though,
in its treatment of the denizens of "flyover
country," and the attempted Minnesota accents grate
sometimes.
Enjoy!
