Set from January 2006 to February 2007, the season follows hitman Lorne Malvo (Thornton) who stops at a hospital in Bemidji, Minnesota following a car accident and influences local mild-mannered insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Freeman) with his violent and deceptive ways. Their meeting sets forth a series of murders throughout the city. Meanwhile, Deputy Molly Solverson (Tolman) of Bemidji and Officer Gus Grimly (Hanks) of Duluth attempt to solve several crimes across the state that they believe may be linked to Malvo and Nygaard.
I kept putting this off for a long while and only now I realize what a fool I’ve been. The show is absolutely great, the story is well told and it’s one of the best crime shows. I’m going to write about each seasons separately, as the show is not a series per se, as much as collection of mini-series only connected by their location and some easter eggs. However, the first Season is very strong, with great mystery and keeps you on the edge of the chair and I fucking binged these ten episodes in less than two days. Seven popcorns and gets into the Movie Vault for sure.
Reminds me I need to re-watch the feature movie, which I saw last time in 2015.
