"I really like Fargo a lot. It has everything. I love the Coen brothers. I love Frances McDormand, I think she’s just an extraordinary actress. She’s so funny in that movie, as Marge. I’m from the Midwest, I’m from Iowa; so obviously that accent’s really heightened, but it’s something that I hear every time I go home. It’s something that feels like very much where I grew up; that backdrop is exactly where I grew up. It’s definitely exaggerated but yeah, there’s definitely that, “Oh, oh my gosh” where I come from. And when I go home and after I have a couple of beers you’d probably hear it come out: “You betcha!” [laughs]"

This started out so promising for me. In the first 10% or so we'd had some pushing against walls, touchy-feely-naughtiness and a confession of wanting to be with our girl after wanting her for years. It was so different from the books I normally read where they only confess feelings towards the end. I was looking forward to him convincing her that they should be together.

But it didn't play out like that... nope, we got bikers and different dreams/aspirations and stuff I think the story could have done without.

I won't be continuing the series, no matter how much one of the brothers and his behaviour around Claire intrigued me.
