The long wait is over for "Fargo" followers as "Fargo" Season 2 kicks off tonight on FX (10/9c). Episode one entitled, "Waiting for Dutch," will take us back to 1979 Minnesota, in the small town of Luverne.
This new season is set as a prequel to its first season, which was set in the year 2006. Based on the 1996 film with the same title, this series is not an adaptation of the movie, but rather an inventive channeling of the Coen brothers' genius.
It is "perhaps the first television series to take not its premise and characters but rather the look, sound and approach to storytelling from the movie whose name it shares," as LA Times described.
Season two reopens with the same gory yet twistedly amusing plot that fans loved from the first season.
According to Cinema Blend, the second season will be led by Patrick Wilson playing state trooper Lou Solverson (Keith Carradine in Season 1), the bearded Ted Danson playing Rock County Sheriff Hank Larsson, Jean Smart playing the matriarch of a crime family Floyd Gerhardt and ordinary young couple Peggy and Ed Blumquist who get caught up in crime played by Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, respectively.
This installment is expected to be as intense and violent yet full of humor as the first season. Highly acclaimed film and TV producer Noah Hawley, who wrote the entire ten episodes of "Fargo" season one, is also back this time as director of the series.
"Fargo" season two will bring us the authentic look and accent of 1979 Minnesotta. The thrill and drama opens at the local Waffle Hut restaurant laden with murdered bodies and blood on the floor, with a young trooper just back from Vietnam aided by the Sheriff (who also happens to be his father-in-law) trying to solve the case which involves a local crime gang, a mob syndicate and a beautician and her husband.
