The deaf guy and teh guy from Friends/Saving private RyanRemind me which two dudes from Season 1 Tim.
He dies. That office is a coffin.Not sure about the final episode there. Lots of nice chat, but not much drama. Or, maybe that's OK.
Wonder what becomes of Milligan
Edit: I'm actually thinking it is OK. The contemplative ending.
I've just finished this series and have gone through this thread, now I'm convinced I've seen a completely different show to you folk. I thought the whole thing smacked of pastiche and cliche. I mentioned in another thread that it was coming across like it was written by someone who watched too many Coen Brothers and Tarantino films and was doing their best to outdo them on the self-aware stakes. The endless nods to other films, books, art, etc. really impinged on the story, if they spent have as much time on the plot as they did working references into it then it might have worked better. The UFO thing made it really weak and the characters were hammy (Mike Milligan is intelligent and to show it, he will recite poetry and give definitions of words like the villain from a comic). I couldn't care less about the Geirhardt gang; Simone was the most interesting one, I was hoping she would develop more and take the gang for herself but no. I felt that had they about half the characters, it would have been much stronger.
What I did like was Patrick Wilson who I thought was excellent in it. Ted Danson was a pleasant surprise, I was expecting him to stick out like a sore thumb but he was great. The whole thing looked wonderful but that just highlighted how shallow the show was really. The tension never felt tense and the twists were too well signposted given that they are now following a Fargo formula.
1. I watched an episode a day or so. I don't really do proper binge watching. To be honest, if I didn't have it all recorded I probably wouldn't have persevered.I don't really agree with most of this, as I loved it overall, but it's a great and interesting post all the same. It makes me think that our standards and expectations are always rising.
Two things
1. Did you watch the episodes in quick succession? I loved having to wait 7 days to watch a new episode. Binging on anything ruins it for me. Really dislike box sets/ Netflix for that reason
2. Did you like season one?
OMG he looks about 12somewhere in America, a tear dripped down showrunner Noah Hawley’s earnest, bespectacled face.
