[@jenmurrayxo]

S1 Part 2 coming soon to KZbin! Anyone want to see Season 2? 📼 Sync up your copy with mine + we can watch together at: www.patreon.com/collection/100134

[@mr.a8315]

Yes for season 2, please. It is dynamite.

[@jonathanross149]

Every series is very different with a loose connection to each other,

[@andreaszeintl8206]

Season 2 is as good as Season 1, yes, please watch it. Season 3 and 4....well, not as good as the first 2 imo

[@foamingclean596]

I kind of fell off watching TV before Season 3 came out, but Season 1 and 2 are up there with the highest quality shows.

[@M._R.]

@@andreaszeintl8206 That's not true. Season 3 is brilliant. I and many other people even prefer it over season 2. But we really should Jen just make her own unbiased opinion on the matter, shouldn't we?

[@philosofree]

Omg, I have never clicked a reaction video so fast. You're going to LOVE this, Jen!! What a perfect season of television.

[@lodey]

THIS

[@dennislittau6320]

Same here.. Finally someone reacting to Fargo (and not the movie)!!! 😀

[@chefskiss6179]

All these years later this show still gives me fresh goosebumps; phenomenal tv in the making. Molly Solverson rules. Awesome watching these with ya, Jen!

[@LordVolkov]

Molly is my favorite Allison Tolman character 🥰

[@chefskiss6179]

@@LordVolkov Same. Emmy and Globe nominated but she didn't win is a shame.

[@TrakoZG]

I love Molly so much! I laughed so hard when she tackled the kid with the hockey stick. I love your take on the Minnesota accent. You betcha! Billy Bob Thornton is just so chilling in this, I can't picture anyone else doing the role. He was in Armageddon as the main NASA guy who talks to Bruce Willis' crew. Amazing character actor!

[@gaz-l621]

1:17:09 is one of my favourite moments. Molly just instantly knowing the answer to Malvo's question, making it clear to us as the audience that she's every bit as smart as he thinks he is.

[@georgeheilman4243]

Season 1 is awesome. Many great parallels to the film, with its own characters being just as charming and memorable, and the story keeps you hooked start to finish. Molly, much like Marge, is a real standout. Looking forward to part two!

[@LordVolkov]

S1 borrows a lot from the movie, but in a cut-up ransom letter kinda way😅 I love all the nods to Fargo, and then to other Coen movies in later seasons.

[@edinalewis4704]

Love season two, Kirsten Dunst is brilliant!

[@neilbrideau8520]

I appreciate Jen Murray.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@earthe1]

OMG!!!! Jen, I’m so glad you’re diving into this tv series!!! I know you’ll enjoy it!!!

[@munkeypantsman]

The actor who plays Wrench is actually deaf, but because the "Wrench and Numbers" theme is all percussion he can still feel the heavy bass beat.

[@Head-ck4hu]

This is an awesome series. Especially how they connect each season.

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

I was pretty skeptical of this show before it came out, but before the first episode was halfway done, I was absolutely blown away. Such a great show, and I really enjoyed your reaction, Jen.

[@brianfrost4556]

Loved this show and this is definitely the way to show it 5 episodes at a time. Your one of my favorite channels.

[@LordVolkov]

"So bronze!" Glenn Howerton's fake bake is so funny! He's great this season even though his part is small.

[@susanliltz3875]

The cop in Duluth is Colin Hanks , Tom’s son.

[@PhasersAndArrows]

Holy moly I’m so stoked that you’re getting into Fargo!!! The Sioux Falls incident that keeps getting referenced is covered in season 2 btw.

[@cbretschneider]

Hi Jen! I love it when your natural Canadian comes out uninhibited. So excited you're watching this show. I just started watching myself and finished season 1 a few days ago. Absolutely brilliant writing. Season 2 is just as good too. See you in the next one. 🥂

[@JackOiswatching]

Hell yes, such a great show, perfect for a cold January watch!

[@MisterHPlays]

OMG I'm so excited you're doing this!!! This is a series I have to come back to every so often

[@Sprivins1988]

Oh, I remember loving this show! Just subscribed, can't wait to experience this again.

[@deanthemachine8879]

HELL YES!! So glad you’re watching this, Jen

[@jorgelsal]

Jen doing the Minnesota accent is GOLD!

[@ricksutton2028]

That's because she's Canadian, dontcha know.

[@Dillpicks95]

This is an awesome surprise. Fargo is such a great show, so happy to see you reacting to it Jen 🔥

[@LordVolkov]

The first three seasons are phenomenal TV. 3 is my particular fave for the music so I am very excited for you to get there eventually Jen.

[@dumahim]

The girl who played Oraetta Mayflower in season 4 was a highlight though. I was quite surprised it's the same actress who played Lyudmilla in Chernobyl.

[@pachena]

thank you so much for reacting to this AWESOME show!!!

[@magicbrownie1357]

Billy Bob Thornton's masterpiece is Sling Blade. Amazing film. Amazing performance.

[@laudanum669]

It's a shame there aren't many reactions to Sling Blade on YT. People don't know what their missing.

[@andyb7638]

Well done, Jen! You’re one of the greats!

[@susanliltz3875]

I love “Billy Bob “ he’s SO talented!!

[@JerriBlank]

i love fargo! im so happy you are reacting to this amazing show! you betcha!

[@TheMike2e]

I'm so excited for this. This is one of my favorite seasons of TV

[@d4mdcykey]

"What the heck do you want?" "I just wanted to have a look at you... That'll do it." Something about that line and the delivery from BBT has stuck with me for years, lol.

[@laudanum669]

When Jen mentioned hiding a cell phone in her sock. If you don't know already here's a handy piece of advice. Any cell phone even if it doesn't have a current carrier will still dial 911. So it's not a bad idea to have an old phone in your car or home in case you can't get to your current phone.

[@Terry-is7nk]

Jen starting to go down the Fargo rabbit hole. Hang on...this is going to be a wild ride!

[@michaeljames6817]

This show (except season 4) is filmed in Calgary. It almost takes me out of the show with how familiar the settings are. My grandma lived near the diner in S1, and I worked at the hotel in S2. That extra familiarity helps make this one of my all-time favorite shows.

[@BarebonesNetwork-w3s]

I saw this show when it first aired. To me, this was must see television. At the end of each episode, I couldn't wait until the next one. I bought the Blu-ray version when it came out. Definitely worth owning. As for other films saying that they were based on a true story when it wasn't, I'm not sure if there are any others, but I remember some movies claiming to be based on true events, meaning some or maybe even a lot of liberties were taken to make the story more interesting than it actually was.

[@NinaFelwitch]

Fargo is such a good show, especially the first season. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

[@germantoenglish898]

Season 1 of Fargo and Season 1 of True Detective with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey are the best crime shows in my opinion.

[@MichaelCoffman-w6o]

Season 2 is great too. 😊

[@Ian-lx1iz]

_Hurts like the Dickens_ sure enough (4:31) - the poor guy is sat in _Casualty_ with his leg on fire. _Ah - Jeez, Louise!_

[@nextdimensionmedia3196]

One of my favorite series. Love that you're covering this one! Can't wait for future episodes.

[@MusicalBox]

So glad you reacted to that show. Can't wait for Part 2.

[@blakerh]

It is cold and snowing where I live, so watching this show makes sense.

[@TheBrownSys]

What a treat. This show, especially this season is phenomenal.

[@David-cg1lh]

28:10 he was taking the measure of him. It's not literally just a look.

[@jonjohns65]

I know it's been a WHILE since you watched this, but I am giddy with joy to watch with you!! I like to think Malvo is like Loki, the god of mischief -- not really the MCU Loki, more the Greek myth Loki. Anyhoo, this entire series of seasons is great, with only 1 hit or miss season. So good, right!!!

[@Phantomgreen29]

Season 1 is a masterpiece and people dismiss the other seasons but I recommend you watch them, they're underrated and worth the time if you're really into the Coen Brothers universe.

[@HeinrichVenter88]

One of my all-time favourite tv shows along with True Detective...so glad you're starting this one, other seasons are great too!

[@BillyBones-ui9ck]

I love this show. So glad someone is doing reactions to this

[@thomholbrook7286]

I think this series references every single Coen Brothers films, either just as a reference or as a full blown connection to a movie. Just picking at random, Billy Bob was in one of their films and his haircut and profession echoes Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men.

[@FilmBuff54]

Bill is played by Bob Odenkirk, who is better known for playing Saul Goodman in “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.”

[@blucale8085]

This is some of Billy Bob's finest work, also including Bad Santa in that list

[@stepheng1523]

My favorite Christmas movie

[@peterretep4009]

Sling Blade is another excellent movie of his, IIRC he was also involved with writing or production.

[@GlebNerzhin]

“Everything got weird in the last one. I’m going to need some candy.”

[@ldkinbote]

Accidents DO happen at the library. I went to college with a girl who worked at her local library and dislocated her jaw and, I believe, had to have it wired shut. How, you ask? She yawned so much and so wide that she dislocated it. When she told me that, I said, "No way, you're messin' with me," and she said, "Nope. That's what happened." Then I cracked up. I suppose if there's an injury occurring at the library, that completely tracks. 🤣 I never forgot that though 'cause it's kinda a bit frightening to think you can do that to yourself by just yawning too wide.

[@lolmao500]

Taking a poop like that is a power move hahaha

[@m4tth3w967]

Oh my God yes! Man have I been looking forward to this! Thanks jen!

[@stormywaters1565]

44:30 The song is Eden Abez and he has more weird songs like that lol

[@Halfaxa7]

This is a nice surprise

[@RoboSteave]

Great way to usher in the new year! Love that you're not doing an episode per week but doing it like this. BTW, if you want to know what happened in Sioux Falls, watch season 2. Watch and react.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

In 6th grade I had a history teacher that had a gross story. She used an envelope she found in an older drawer and cut her tongue. A long time later she felt something moving under the surface of her tongue and she went to the doctor to get it checked out. Turns out she somehow got roach eggs into her tongue and they hatched.

[@ceremus]

All of the actors turn in great performances for this show, I'm very fond of Allison Tolman as Molly. And Malvo is just *such* an interesting villain.

[@wayneewart2860]

Love this show. Also love identifying where in the Calgary area it was filmed. All but one season of the show was filmed in and around Calgary.

[@Ian-lx1iz]

(1:14:06) 'The other guy' didn't hear his mate being tasered because he has _noise-cancelling_ ears.

[@merlinscat]

I’m beyond thrilled you’re doing this series it’s so good. Did you notice that Gus is played by Tom Hanks son ?

[@trevalarose8155]

Thornton's band just played our small town auditorium.

[@RashBandicoot]

So happy you're doing this! I am going to subscribe to your patreon to watch.

[@ultranova05]

I really like Billy Bob in Bandits!👍🏽

[@SilentBob731]

Sweet! This is an excellent show, at least for the first two seasons. The third is really good too. Kind of lost track after that (I blame the distraction of watching Reaction Videos 😉). I'm guessing that Jen and her Serious Girl Spectacles are gonna love this one (or rather, did love this one).

[@ultranova05]

Jen, this is so good so good so good so good!👍🏽👍🏽

[@susanliltz3875]

Yes “Billy Bob “ is “Bad Santa”🎅🏻!!

[@kobewankenobi248]

Such an underrated series. This show is phenomenal. Also, Lorne Malvo and Gus Fring. Greatest on screen villains ever imo

[@chippydogwoofwoof]

"Is he going to kill him?" "Oh no he is going to die" and variations on that theme have never been heard more times in span of 1hr 30min. Not a dig after all its that kind of show. Really enjoyed this video Hope you have a wonderful 2025 Jen. Blessings from the UK

[@jenmurrayxo]

😂

[@kev51281]

This is great. Thanks, Jen!

[@flerbus]

the legends say rome was founded by brothers romulus and remus they were abandoned at birth and nursed by a she wolf till they were found by a local farmer

[@rdale2k5]

This show (the first 3 seasons anyway) is FANTASTIC! Amazing performances and writing. You WILL want to watch the first 2 seasons at least because they tie in with each other nicely. This is an "anthology" series so the characters and story will be different each season. Super awesome series though.

[@kevinnordavind3119]

cool and wild stuff Jen. Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure.

[@LeviBulger]

Oh geez

[@brandonmartin08]

Calling someone “Green” also is calling them new and inexperienced. Started by the military because they could tell by how clean and green their uniforms were that they were new and inexperienced.

[@macisr]

What a great show. Second season is just as good, if not better.

[@citpeks2000]

Emergency sock phone! I like it

[@richardw64]

More of this please, Jen !

[@dennislittau6320]

Yes Billy Bob is Bad Santa, and you should absolutely watch it 🙂

[@andromidius]

Season one of this show is a wild one. I never got around to watching more, and I really should.

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

Bad Santa and Slingblade are two great movies with Billy Bob staring

[@davidwilkins5932]

The hand wound is a pellet from the shotgun, which would place him upstairs at the time.

[@paulnorgan8647]

I'm stoked for this!

[@chippydogwoofwoof]

O M G! I am over the moon that you are watching this show, I only recently got around to watching it myself and loved it so to have the opportunity to watch it again through these reactions is amazing. I look forward to seeing which season is your favourite and which is least as each season is it's own story, I didn't think season 1 could be topped but after a little time and looking back I think my order of preference is as follows starting with the least (but still great) 4--2--5--1--3.

[@RobB-i9c]

One of the best seasons of tv ever

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks John you too!

[@Ray-ko1lm]

This season is so good and I love season 2 that’s just as good, but in a totally different way.

[@mathewjhill]

You asked about other movies that claim to be true stories, and my first thought was "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away", but saying that I can't prove that Star Wars isn't a true story.

[@justinedse3314]

The human eye can see more shades of green than any other color because the theory is that it's conditioned to see, for predators and hunting in jungle foliage.

[@mr.a8315]

Outstanding tv and fab reaction. 💜 Hoping to see season 2 here, it's even better.

[@Khay-77]

Fargo season 1 is truly a perfect season from beginning to end. Right up there with True Detective.

[@rdale2k5]

Agree. Loved both of those shows.

[@LordVolkov]

Except for Billy Bob's haircut 😅

[@rdale2k5]

BTW: Not a true story. Sioux Falls will be fully explained in season 2. 3. The briefcase with the money in the movie Fargo is the same briefcase used for the money in No Country For Old Men.

[@abouttime2569]

This is a good series for the winter season. My region is currently -11 Celsius right now

[@joetarantino1887]

What a surprise! Season 1, 2 , 3 and 5 absolutely amazing, 4 not so much... I'm here for them.❤

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

BBTs best role

[@kylereese5841]

God, this first season was so good.

[@patientzeropoint5271]

Best. Villain. Ever.

[@StayProteus]

28:28 the gun was a shotgun and all shotguns can fire a multitude of different shot shells that range from around #10 at the smallest which are like corse sugar size to buckshot which itself comes in many sizes all the way up about 1/4” (~6mm) and then you have slugs which are a massive bullet essentially and you have some that even have a mixture of all of those and even crazy ammo like dragons breath which shoots a fireball. Point is he probably got his with a buckshot pellet because when shotgun fire the shot (pellets) spreads out more and more the further away you are so one of the “flyers” probably hit him although in real life the spread probably wouldn’t have been more than like 6” at that range with that shotgun but I could be wrong cause I’m not really a shotgun guy

[@tinyderppotato5410]

yay! fargo is amazing🥰

[@madisonbadger9454]

Yes. Great series !
