There are two films this year being adapted to television. From Dusk Till Dawn and Fargo. Dusk Till Dawn has just adapted the exact plot of the film, stretching 2 hours out over a series, with the TV actors not matching their film counterparts. I gave up after three episodes. Fargo however has taken the decision to recreate the tone rather than plot. And it works. The other 'Ace' for Fargo is the casting. The acting in this pilot is excellent with Billy Bob Thornton offering one of the best performances of his career. (Without going into too much detail, there is a scene where Thornton is pulled over by the police and it had me on the edge of my seat. Something I have not experienced in TV since Breaking Bad's Ozymandias). I am a big fan of the slow burn, to get me emotionally invested, building up to a good dramatic conclusion, and in this the episode does not disappoint. Whether or not you have seen the film, this is definitely worth checking out.
