Fargo is just brilliant. Better than the first series (and that takes some doing). Bokeem Woodbine is fantastic in it - although all the cast are superb, and the direction, storyline and script are wonderful.
For me it's not quite as good (yet) but I'm really enjoying it, and I like that it's gone more Miller's Crossing.
And yes, Mike Milligan is a great character. Episode 5 ups the ante a bit, I'm going to be gutted when it's over.
Agreed. Unforgotten on ITV is good too. Just started catching up with Arne Dahl on iplayer, not quite as dark as the first "series" but still enjoyable.

Must say I really enjoyed Arne Dahl last weekend, whereas I thought the first series was pretty mediocre by the high standards set for Scandi series. Then they keep running trailers for the return of The Bridge. Anybody know the start date yet?
Watched the first episode of The man in the high castle. An Amazon made series set in the U.S but if the Nazi's and Japanese had won the second world war. Very promising.

You might be right on that. Maybe I need to re-watch the first series. I loved that so much, might just be the immediacy and novelty of having a second series that is great that makes me think it's 'better'. I think I'm pissed off that they killed off Joe Bulo - Brad Garrett was brilliant, and I was looking forward to seeing how it all played out between him and Mike Milligan.

It's brilliant nonetheless
At the moment it's close for me, they're both great but for different reasons. The latest episode is built around tension, it's a far cry from Season 1 and Lester but both have their merits. However, given the last 2 episodes (I've just watched 6), this season is building up to something huge - that will tip the scales in favour of Season 2 for me.

The whole ghost thing is crap - why does he not just ask her what happened ?
People with no imagination shouldn't be allowed to go near fiction.

Very promising.
He has hallucanations, he doesn't see ghosts. He was being followed by a guy who was alive, albeit in a coma, in episode three or four.
Still think writer thought need a quirk, he needs a quirk. I know, dead people.
It's brilliant nonetheless
