| Summary |
SBS builds on its reputation for offering the world's best dramas by bringing Fargo - a new 10-part series inspired by the classic 90s film of the same name - to Australian screens only weeks after its US debut. With the original film's masterminds Joel and Ethan Coen as Executive Producers, the series boasts a killer cast led by the inimitable Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade), as well as Hollywood heavyweights Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office), Colin Hanks (Mad Men, Dexter) and Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad).Fargo follows an all-new "true" crime case with new characters, all entrenched in the trademark humour, murder and "Minnesota nice" that made the Academy Award-winning film an enduring classic. Oscar winner Thornton stars as Lorne Malvo, a rootless, manipulative man who meets and forever changes the life of small town insurance salesman Lester Nygaard, played by BAFTA Award winner Freeman. Thornton, Freeman, Hanks and Odenkirk are joined by Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated Oliver Platt, Screen Actors Guild Award winner Kate Walsh, Adam Goldberg, plus many more surprise appearances.The rootless, manipulative Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) meets a disgruntled small town insurance salesman (Martin Freeman) and sets him on a path of destruction. An ambitious deputy (Allison Tolman) and her bungling partner (Bob Odenkirk) follow the trail of crime, while Police Deputy and single dad Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks) must choose between his own personal safety and his duty as a police officer when he comes face-to-face with a killer.
