SEASON PREMIERE: This is both a season and a series premiere, technically, because it’s a prequel to last year’s excellent season-long story line – traveling back decades in time to 1979, to a case investigated by young lawman Lou Solverson (played here by Patrick Wilson, as a more youthful version of the character played in Season 1 of Fargo by Keith Carradine) and grizzled veteran Hank Larsen, played by Ted Danson. I’ve seen four episodes of this new season of Fargo, and absolutely love them. For my full review on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, listen to today’s show, or visit the Fresh Air website later Monday afternoon. And for other TVWW reviews and reports on this new Fargo, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes, David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower, and another Hinckley report, his interview with Fargo star Ted Danson.
