Recently watched the 1st season with Billy Bob Thornton & Martin Freeman and thought the show was brilliant. Thornton was great as the sadistic yet charismatic hitman and Freeman was intriguing seeing his charachter Lester Nygaard evolve from puny wimp to calculating killer.
The 2nd season which is currently on FX & Channel 4 features an all star cast of Patrick Wilson, Kirsten Dunst, Ted Danson, Jesse Plemons (Todd from Breaking Bad) & Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson from Parks & Rec). Set in 1979 it is a prequel to the 1st season. A member of a family of hillbilly gangsters kills 3 people in a Waffle Hut. Kirsten Dunst's character accidentally runs him over and her husband has to kill him before he kills them. The hillbilly family also have a bunch of gangsters from Kansas City coming after them trying to take over their territory. Its very dark and gruesome but full of black humour and epic monologues. Bokeem Woodbine aka Mike Milligan is very good in his role.
