I can only hear/understand about 50% of the dialogue!

Totally agree, OP. Couldn't hear half the dialogue - don't think it's the Cornish accents; the actors are just mumbling. I have read the book and have to say it looks pretty much how I imagined it - perhaps not quite the sense of menace though. I will try and investigate subtitles for tonight.

Managed to watch 10 minutes of this middlebrow pap and switched off before I drifted into a coma. Fargo. Now that was an easter treat and no mistake.

BBC news says have received hundreds of complaints and investigating.
