	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"There’s enough going on (indeed, almost too much) and such a weird string of dominos that it’s hard not to imagine those sampling the opener won’t want to see things through to the finish."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"The casting on 'Fargo' is superb, but none more so than Thornton, who is absolutely magnetic as the calm killer with a penchant for wry observation."	POS
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"The tone wavers here and there (...) but holds true for the most part."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"You should overlook the shortcomings and enjoy the series on its own otherwise considerable merits, chief among them, of course, Billy Bob Thornton."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"Like the movie, the series is peculiar, with an irregular rhythm and lots of black humor, and it is also oddly winning."	POS
