Notes:

A superlative entry in a golden age of TV, "Fargo" distinguishes itself with a unique blend of comedy, drama and weirdness. Perfectly timed bursts of intensity occur against the dull matter-of-fact backdrop of middle-american suburbia. Characters stand out. Most are flawed, well layered, interesting, likable, and all drawn from masterful writing. This one is a treat, first pointed out by Myk.
