Fargo (TV series, FX) (1 Viewer)

Here's a recent interview in which Billy Bob goes a little deeper than actors usually do into explaining his thought process and his concept of Malvo's motivations:

Well, the only good guy he killed, that sheriff, was out of necessity. Malvo lives by the rules of the animal kingdom. He wasn’t looking to kill a good guy as much as, he’s in my way. Malvo knew that Lester was setting him up and he just had to get rid of people. Otherwise, the people he kills are creeps. That last scene with Gus, Malvo was severely wounded, and knew as soon as he got home who was waiting for him. Gus was something like his student, who was manipulated to let Malvo go early on. Malvo probably saw some decency and purity in Gus, and respected somebody true to himself. Lester, Sam Hess, all these other creeps, they’re not true to themselves. I think Malvo looked at Gus and said, “Good job. It’s my time. You figured it out. Good on you.” He wasn’t looking to go out in a blaze of glory.

I agree that Billy Bob's character wasnt as evil as he might have been portrayed. However, i wouldnt say that the three people in the elevator were really evil. Wouldn't call them perfect, but definitely not bad people.

well, he did ask lester first to make sure he wanted to do this now. the guy was one of his targets, but the women probably weren't bad.
 
oh and molly won't be back next season.

How was season 4? Is it worth watching? I thought the first season was pretty awesome!
 
Just watched S1/E1 - was impressed and entertained - please tell me without spoilers, does it stay this good?
