Overview
Fargo is an American black comedy crime drama television series created by Noah Hawley for FX. It is based on the 1996 film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The series is a close-knit anthology dealing with stories involving malice, violence, and murder based in and around Minnesota. The Coens, whose other films also heavily influenced the series, were originally uninvolved but joined as executive producers after being impressed by the project. Various chronicles of deception, intrigue, and murder in and around frozen Minnesota are presented in the series, with all tales mysteriously leading back to Fargo, North Dakota. The series features a range of characters and storylines, including quirky Minnesotans embroiled in different true crimes. The show was created by Noah Hawley and features a cast including Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Allison Tolman, and Colin Hanks.
