Here as a fan of show and the movie is pretty great too. If only the show didn't experiment too much every new season, this film perfectly fulfilled that first season crave.
Has a cool aesthetic, beautifully whitewashed visuals and a diverse set of characters with weirdly scripted attitudes and personalities that add to that sweet dark humor. The casting is also something very special, funny looking and talented guys, the types that fit right in Fargo. But the film, just like show, is only mostly interesting and exciting from the crime side of view because that's where the action happens while on the reactionary side of crime that is the police investigation associated with it is not so exciting which doesn't mean it's bad as that side focuses on neatly written characters and delivers a few exciting & comedic moments.
