Ewan is killing it. Would be a shame if he doesn't at least get nominated this year for an award.
Fargo movie: seemingly good dude does something stupid to get out of money problems and things go south
Fargo season 1: seemingly good dude snaps and kills his Wife and everything goes south
Fargo season 2: seemingly good dude has to help his Wife and kill some dude and everything goes south
Fargo season 3: seemingly good dude borrows money from the wrong person and everything goes south
EDIT: if he was really smart he would have just sat in the meeting and shut up and then got involved if Emmit started saying something stupid. Or he would have said he's emits legal counsel and recommends he doesn't say anything and asks them to leave without saying anything else. But he just went in guns blazing Super suspicious style.
I don't feel like the William H Macy and Martin Freeman chractaers were actually good dudes though. They just seem like inept dudes who made poor decisions and had a secret asshole streak they decided to let loose. Comparetively Emmit and Meth Damon seem like actually good guys way in over their heads.
Also of note Varga does a lot of homework, but struck out with the folks of Eden Valley, because none use computers so there is no "fingerprint". He seems to be getting a little frustrated by the hiccups he's encountering and the "backwards" nature of the town may be his undoing.
Anyone else get a Leftovers twinge from the final scene? Music seemed intentionally Nora-ish.
