Yeah, he is definitely good in that part!

The TV series, though, differs from the book, as detailed here:

With the ending being "somewhat" drastically different than the book (I have not seen Episode 6 yet, although I have it), one would think that there could possibly be a season 2. Here are a couple of pro and con links about that:

The other excellent series on now is Season 4 of "The Americans". In fact, Episode 10 aired last night, with only 3 more episodes to go. The last 3 episodes have been super interesting! I'll bet we'll be left "hanging" after Episode 13 airs in 3 weeks, and then we'll have to wait for the start of Season 5 (most likely back in March or April) to get a resolution. To me, just after season 1 of Fargo, and tied with Breaking Bad, it is up there as another excellent series. Definitely good TV!
