I'm writing this piece at the same time I'm writing "Fargo" because in a very interesting way of how the nuiances and the interactions with the characters are primary and are more important than the twisting and curving plot, that personally I gave up trying to follow.

It wasn't due to the twists being confusing, actually they all make sense in an odd way much like cetain jigsaw puzzle pieces that doesn't appear to fit, just seems to fit at the right time, Lily Tomlin's brilliant performance is a wonderful microcosm in this idea.

Because much like life things that you don't expect to happen, happen and why they do you make the most of it and in some cases you run with it. The camera angles and colors are wonderful creating a 1970's film noir that is both familiar and dreamy and new at the same time.
