I loved the first season of Fargo. I recommended it to people as being on the level of Breaking Bad. I have to wonder about a Hollywood portrayal of Reagan, however. I thought it was interesting that it was to take place in a state Reagan lost in '80 and the ONLY state he lost in '84, but if I recall correctly, these events--that were hinted at in season one--take place in South Dakota.

For those not familiar with the original film and first season of the TV show, and wondering why it doesn't take place in North Dakota, that's a little quirk of the franchise. The movie mostly took place in Brainerd, MN and the first season of the TV show mostly took place in Bemidji, MN.

We'll see. Typically this means they're going to ruin a perfectly good show by injecting their infantile political opinions into places that it really doesn't even add anything to the plot. I hope to be wrong.

IMHO, it's a good watch, but certainly not on the level of Justified or Breaking Bad.

This will be the 76 election where Reagan challenged the sitting president Ford. If Lou Solverson is the prime character there should be a big to do in Sioux Falls SD.

Reagan’s first campaign for president was in 1968.

I have to wonder about Hollywood’s portrayal of anything. It’s an industry run by porn/sex maniacs, who are overpaid and hate Christian values.

Fargo, never saw it, never will. It’s propaganda.
