You Betcha That The First Season Of Fargo Is An Outstanding Piece Of Television!

TV shows based on movies don't exactly have the best track record, when you stop to think about it. As a kid, I watched loads of kids programs based on classic Disney animated movies that couldn't hold a candle to the feature films they were leaning heavily on (The Emperor's New School is totally a thing that existed at one point in time for reasons no one can fathom) and many others in this genre (such as last year's heavily derided Rush Hour TV show) have similarly failed to gain traction. But no subgenre of storytelling is inherently flawed and you've got still got programs like M*A*S*H that people adore.

The Judge Review

Insert Courtroom Pun Here
Relics of the past adorn the first frames of The Judge, items meant to be deep symbolism by the end of the cinematic venture. For me, they hold no more meaning after 142 arduous minutes than they did once the film began, but truth be told, that's not a specific knock at the worn baseball glove that opens the movie. Very little of The Judge is actually worth caring about, and those relics are easily some of the misfires smallest offenders in terms of failure.
