Nik the Trik said:It doesn't really matter. They're not connected at all outside of some vague plot similarities and the general setting. I mean, I think it's a phenomenal movie that deserved all of it's awards and so you should see it but outside of maybe being confused about why a show set in Minnesota is called Fargo there's no real need.
Ok. I thought they'd be more connected but I also didn't want to spoil anything in the show by watching the movie first. I'll definitely be watching both sometime soon.
