In a novel spin, Fargo the TV show echoes the mood and approach of the Coen brothers Oscar-winning film of the same name but offers up a different, more sprawling story. Part of the suddenly popular limited series movement in TV, it, too, follows a true crime that takes place in Minnesota but branches out in other directions. And, as with the original, it offers humor both black and broad, characters silly and strong, and bursts of sudden, often surprising violence. Grade: B+
