      I have been watching Fargo lately, the pseudo Swedish/America sounding accents are fascinating. Having only been to the East Coast, it's like nothing I've ever heard!

      The devil is in the detail..

        Martin Freeman is brilliant in season 1. Great series and one of my faves.

          Season 1 was brilliant.

          I can tell you guys that no one in Minnesota sounds like that. The original Fargo and it's "ya you betcha" is simply not real.

              Two part question…#1 Is anyone watching Space Force,which was OK,and if the answer to #1 is yes...Do you think Giles and John Malkovich look alike these days?    Thought he stole the show.

                @AdamJ I suppose it's not a complete myth, but if you come to Minnesota, you will probably visit Minneapolis (though i wouldn't advise it in the near future as it's a little riot-y right now), and people sound like any midwestern town like Chicago. There may be some small town folk in rural towns that have that old midwestern accent, but I have never heard it in my almost 40 years living here, and I've touched every corner of the state.

                  Giles is Malkovich! And vice and versa[emoji38] That’s true! A kind of attitude…Cool one[emoji3577]
                  About the serie, I liked it a lot and laughed a lot! Hilarious Steve Carell as always!

                      I have watched Fargo, and the accent is severe. There are different accents all over the country. New England, New York, different areas of the South, I always describe Louisiana, as sounding southern with a New England twang. While I was working, my companies manufacturing and corporate office was in Plymouth Minnesota, where I have been numerous times along with Mankato and Red Wing. There is a definite speech pattern there, but not as severe as watching Fargo. Minnesota did have an influx of Scandinavians, along with Dakota Native American Indians. With my work, I have traveled to 47 states, so it was a bit typical to pick up on different accents through out the country.  OOps, I forgot Pennsylvania Dutch.

                          It is on the list for summer viewing when the weather turns bad. I do like Mathew Rhys after his stint in The Americans. Plus he’s Welsh, like all the best people.

                              So far I like it. Looks promising. Put me off pumpkin pie though.  😶

                                      Yup. The newest season is better than the last two.

                                      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                        yeah. i feel you. at the start of season 3, i kinda felt they were scraping the bottom of the barrel of the plot. then at the end of season 4 cliffhanger, they've managed to pick things up again and i'm on the edge every single episode.

                                        the latest episode had subtle humour and that one reference to avengers, that being a marvel fan, i was really stoked. i'm not going to mention who, in case of spoilers, but seeing CIA guy back at it (which i knew all along), is pretty refreshing because i've always liked his character.
