Fargo

Channel 4, Wed 31 May, 10pm

This third run of Fargo has a big act to follow, after season two wowed critics. Each series is set in a different era, with a new story, cast and set of characters, while existing in the universe established by the classic Coen Brothers film of the same name. Now in 2010, we follow the exploits of Minnesotan parking-lot king Emmit Stussy and his younger brother, parole officer Ray. Brilliantly, each of these very distinct men is played by Ewan Macgregor. This in itself supplies reason enough to watch, before we even get into the plot, which moves swiftly from sibling rivalry to petty theft to murder.
