As a life long Minnesotan I have an issue with the stereotypes. But it is a very good, well written show.

I like stereotypes myself. They are always accurate.

My North Dakotan co-workers say the accent is spot on.

I grew up across the river, in Moorhead. Lot of family still lives there. Guess I’ll have to watch it.

You ought to be a native New Orleanian and see the stereotyping we have experienced in the movies and on TV.

Having been born and raised in Grand Forks, not that far from Fargo, I just had to laugh at the stereotype of North Dakotans in the original movie. It's not true, of course, but I thought the movie was ok.

Lol

Stereotypes?

Try being a Southerner with roots all the way back to Jamestown.

We’ve been a target of derision since 1866

The Coen Brothers grew up in Minnesota, but they don’t seem to have the “Minnesota Nice” personality or the Upper Midwest accent.
