Never seen this series. Seen the original movie and loved it.. when I saw the series advertisement, I got confused. Can anyone explain—-without spoiling—-what’s going on here?
It's an anthology series. Each season tells a different, odd, self-contained story about crime and the seasons aren't directly connected to each other or the 1996 movie.
Though the stories aren't necessarily connected, there are some subtle connections in some of the characters I believe, even though it's an entirely new cast each season.
Jesse Plemons (Todd from breaking bad) was pretty good. He makes a great creepy guy. I didn't realize he was married to Kirsten Dunst who starred in Season 2 with him.
I'd go 3, 2, 1. They're all worth watching, and that's coming from a guy who watches almost no television.
In season three...spoilers...
...I get a kick out of seeing Ewan McGregor play two characters, and I adore both Carrie Coon and Mary Elizabeth Winstead and I think both their roles are awesome. And David Thewlis is wonderful as Varga; his creepy performance lines up with Varga's weird dialogue perfectly. Varga's probably my favorite villain of the series.
