And it will turn out malvo kills him by giving him lukemia, or whatever the fuck disease osama had, right?

I just watched the movie tonight. The series is much much better. But I liked how they tied the 2 together with the bag of money.

This show really is awesome. I binge watched all 9 eps the past two days but I must have fallen asleep during some part cuz what happened to the super market king? Last I remember, his son and bodyguard were driving to the cabin, and the fish started falling. Then the dad has the epiphany about returning the money where he found it originally, does so, then goes to the cabin but comes across the the wreck and his dead son. Was that actually just random chance? And did Billy Bob just give up on the money?

That wasn't concluded, which was kind of a disappointment. I'm not sure what he could say to the supermarket king now that he finished the plague.

This show is sometimes pure nonsense and that is why i love it. The elevator scene is pure shock but you have to realize this is dark comedy.

And it's way better than True Detective, at least with Fargo,i didn't give up watching it after 4 episodes lol

Yep. A dark drama can be things that a dark comedy can not, and visa versa.

I actually think Fargo is better, but I watched True Detective in a couple weeks so I didn't have enough time to properly enjoy it and talk about it here.

holy fuck what a finale

the used car salesman was in the diner with his wife and lester passes them, he was also the guy lester was trying to sell life insurance to in episode 1

the glove story was weird but cool, can think of 2-3 ways to interpret that. love little shit like that

No complaints about the finale.

No big surprises or twists though...I thought there might be.

I would have preferred it if they hadn't emulated the ending of the movie for this series. But apart from that this was a pretty good show, Billy Bob carried the whole thing and I can't imagine it being any good without him.

Well, I guess the cabin at the end looked pretty similar, and bad guy(s) got kilt. In the movie though, the husband was arrested wasn't he? Or did he suicide?

Yeah, all in all, while the ending had shades of the movie, I'm not sure it emulated it. Did they leave an easter egg at the end like the bag of money that they can play off of to start next season?

It was basically a direct reinterpretation of the end of the film; Steve Buscemi (Billy Bob) suffers a horrific injury in a shootout and heads to the cabin, lone cop (mail man) finds the cabin and suspect by chance and arrests (executes) him, wife killer goes on the run and gets caught (drowns), lady cop congratulates hubby on his collection (citation of bravery) at home, the bad guys all lose and the sweet dedicated Minnesota police lady triumphs and goes about her day... don'tcha know.

In the end I just found it disappointing that Malvo left the scene and ran despite how great that bedroom scene was. Also Lester's end felt kind of strange though fittingly goofy and self inflicted I suppose. By the way, what happened to that poor used car salesman?
