Really enjoyed it. It felt a little Coen lite at times or like they were doing their best approximation of a Coen Brother's impression, but only at times. It only took me out a few times, mostly when they tried to recreate or directly quote the film.
Also enjoyed the little nods to other Coen films, like White Russians being on the specials board. Nice touch. A little cloying maybe, but I appreciated it.
The acting is stellar. The tone is right. I laughed a lot. I'll definitely keep watching.
And I adore the film. I watch it ever year during the first big snow fall or winter storm. [Reply]
Anybody else watched last night? I really enjoyed all the ties that are coming along with the story. Billy Bob Thornton better be up for an Emmy! Very good show! [Reply]
I enjoyed last nights episode. I have no familiarity with the story at all so it is really interesting watching to see how all these things are going to connect in some way. [Reply]
