Yet FargoвЂ™s first season succeeded entirely on its own merits, driven by its firm grasp of tone and terrific performances throughout.

MollyвЂ™s father Lou Solverson (David Carradine) alluded at times in the first season to a particularly violent series of events that happened back when he was a cop in Sioux Falls, and the new season will travel back to 1978 to tell the story behind those cryptic remarks. Where We Left Off: The resolution of season one actually wonвЂ™t matter at all for season two, as itвЂ™s going to be a prequel series. Wrench (Adam Goldberg and Russell Harvard) and the hapless FBI team of Agents Pepper and Budge (Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele). Also in the mix were ruthless bounty hunters Mr. MalvoвЂ™s efforts were opposed by the hard work and decency of Deputy Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) and Duluth cop Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks), and hampered unintentionally by naive Chief Bill Oswalt (Bob Odenkirk). Season one told an entirely new story, where contract killer Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) wound up in small-town Minnesota and goaded insurance salesman Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) on an increasingly violent path. What You Need To Know: While existing in the same universe as the Fargo movie-established with a particularly memorable cold open in the fourth episode- Fargo the TV show is more a spiritual successor than a direct sequel.

Premise: вЂњA lot can happen in the middle of nowhere.вЂќ So goes one of the taglines for the Coen brothersвЂ™ 1996 black comedy/neo-noir crime drama Fargo, and so goes the plot of this FX drama of the same name. Returns Monday, October 12th at 10pm (ET) on FX
