Love that film. The Coen brothers are geniuses.

I wasn't sure on it when i heard about it (because the film is brill), but i was pleasantly surprised.

It starts sunday at 9pm on channel 4 over here.

Could be very good.

Seen the 1st episode. Really good...won't spoil it for those who haven't had the chance to see it.

How have they made a whole series out of it? How close is the storyline?
But yeah the Coen brothers films are usually nailed on classics!

Based on the first episode, it's in the spirit of the film. Completely different storyline...or mostly anyway.

no country for old men is a doozy

I'd have a hard time picking between them...both masterpieces.

I think it's awesome that Martin Freeman is playing the main character with a total Minnesota accent.

I seen no country years ago, but it's only in the last couple of months I've actually really "got it" and I'm still not sure if I do, but it's catapulted into my top movies of all time

I take it Freeman plays the William H Macy role ?
