You know Fargo is great because there is such little talk about it on /tv/, instead we have thread after thread of Boyega and cape shit

To be fair, Fargo does rely too much on Coen Brothers references. Which is weird because the show is strong enough to be its own thing without those references kind of shoved into the show.

Fargo is emulating movies, though. Did he forget that?

I really don't get the love for season 2. Its not bad at all but people talk about it like it isn't a mash up of things we've seen in other detective/gangster/noir/lovers on the run/Coen films. Nothing about it feels that original

You can say that for about 99% of tv and film related content that gets released nowadays though. Literally everything is a mash up of influences.

He's out of work ever since Silent Hills got cancelled.

What do you mean?

I've seen the movies but any details beyond the plot is lost on me, I don't feel like I'm missing something from the show.

>what is Crimson Peak

though it didn't do too well.

>>63301209
True. I think people just have an incredibly low bar for tv shows.

Stuff from Miller's Crossing, The Man Who Wasn't There and No Country For Old Men. It kind of does its own thing with these nods, but the fact it feels the need to incorporate these influences in what is a strong show regardless just rubs me the wrong way. Season 2 has been a little better because the nods have been at a minimum compared to season 1, but the fact its still there kind of makes me feel like I'm watching a Coen Brothers fan club.

Two examples I can think of in season 2
>When Bear executes Simone is ripped out of Miller's Crossing
>When Hanzee interrogates the gas station owner is ripped out of No Country for Old Men

Arguably, the UFO plotline could be said to be ripped out of The Man Who Wasn't There, but the show really has made it its own thing at this point that it doesn't feel like a reference.

How is it possible for Fargo to emulate the Coens without ever feeling like the Coens?

How tumblr is Fargo?

The references in S1 weren't as bad since its more or less a remake/redo of Fargo+NCFOM. The references seemed inherent to the plot. In season 2 you get some really overt and unnecessary ones like you mentioned, or Nick Offerman's character doing the Walter/Donny thing in the first episode

I haven't noticed any O Brother Where Art Thou references though. They seem so easy.

I don't know. I noticed a little too many for my liking, including one's from A Serious Man and The Big Lebowski.
