It's based on the 1996 movie, which won Best Actress and Best Screenplay Oscars and was nominated 5 other Oscars including for Best Picture and Best Director.
Fargo is on my top 5 all time favorite movie list.
I was upset when it lost out to that snoozefest The English Patient.
This show is awesome!
Then on May 4th, Jack Bauer returns in another season of "24".
