Thoughts:


After watching the latest fun filled season we decided to go back and watch the rest of them. Obviously starting with the first one.


This show is so fun, funny, witty and smart!


There are a few story lines that intersect without any of them knowing.


Caution: Spoiler Alert


Storyline:


The season follows hitman Lorne Malvo (Thornton) who stops at a hospital in Bemidji, Minnesota following a car accident and influences local mild-mannered insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Freeman) with his violent and deceptive ways. Their meeting sets forth a series of murders throughout the city. Meanwhile, Deputy Molly Solverson (Tolman) of Bemidji and Officer Gus Grimly (Hanks) of Duluth attempt to solve several crimes across the state that they believe may be linked to Malvo and Nygaard.
