Just watched it for the first time, knew almost nothing about it going in.

Overall opinion: It was an alright movie, not bad. I had a good time, but it didn’t seem groundbreaking or particularly funny or shocking. So what gives? Why do I hear so much about it?

My best guess is that the movie was shocking when it was released, because of the outright murder and violence, and I’m just desensitized to that in film now, so it wasnt as revelatory to me

    The show is much better. But Coen brothers are fantastic film makers.

      I still sometimes say “aw jeez” when something bad happens. Martin Freeman’s character saying that over and over was so darkly hilarious.
