Anyone watching the FX TV series based on the film?
I must say I am impressed with it so far (three episodes). I was skeptical at first, the film being such a singularity I thought the show might end up being not much more than a cheesy bid to cash in on the film's success. But nope, it turns out to be a very satisfying continuation of the film even with different story, different town, and different characters. It's like wishing for the impossible and it magically really happens.
Martin Freeman is really fantastic as Lester. Some similarity to Jerry from the film, but a different character. I love the murky conflicts. I can't help but want Malvo to get away with everything, but also want Lester to win and be free of all his troubles, but also want Molly to prevail... It's wonderful.
