Merlin Mann"Fargo" (1996) is just over an hour and a half long.
They managed to fit all of that world-building and intricate storytelling into 90 minutes.
What a durable and economical masterpiece.
Jesse Atkinson@hotdogsladies we of course love the movie. But also the show is amazing. We are currently on season 3. Blown away that it’s not more popular.
Chuck O'Rourke:verified:@jsatk @hotdogsladies I’ve watched the first three seasons of the show and find it pretty “meh”.
@Chuck_ORourke @hotdogsladies I find that stunning. Season 2 is maybe my favorite mini series ever.
@jsatk @hotdogsladies I remember season two was critically acclaimed to put it mildly. I just thought 🤷. My favorite was season three. I didn’t watch season four. I’ve been planning on starting the new one.
They don’t really have the feel of the movie or the Coens.
@jsatk Episode one of the new season was promising.
