Fargo rests upon the closeness of the macabre and the everyday, while maintaining stylistic restraint. If it invites audience interpretation at key moments, it balances narrative ruminations with an insistence on narrative closure within the mini-series. On the one hand, the stories in Fargo are a prelude to creating complex character genealogies that relate the characters together in unexpected ways.
FX's Fargo TV show is a great follow-up, but none of the show's four seasons can quite match the original 1996 movie. Fargo is often considered the Coen brothers' best film, with the film featuring so many fantastic moments, characters, and one-liners. Fargo is one of the best dark comedies ever, flipping from hilarious scenes to the horrifying iconic wood-chipper scene. Though it wasn't a huge hit upon its release, the movie has since gone on to become a cult classic that is held up as one of the better releases from the 90s.
