The Coen Brothers Best Picture Oscar Nominee transforms into the season's most talked about TV debut. FARGO features a new 'true crime' story and new characters - all chilled in the trademark dry wit, murderous mayhem and 'Minnesota nice' of the original classic film. Oscar Winner Billy Bob Thornton stars a Lorne Malvo, a manipulative master criminal who changes the life of insurance salesmen Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman). Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks) and Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) are the small-town police officers who join forces to uncover Lester's secrets and stop the relentlessly destructive Malvo.
