Watch Fargo. Each season is like a jazz riff on the basic components of the movie, and retains the quirky humor and violence of the Coens. First season is just classic, and the following ones are almost as good. You have to be okay with a with a little weirdness here and there, though. Last season has a ghost. Season before that had a random UFO scene that had nothing to do with anything.
I love it but if you're not a fan of the Coens' funnier films, stay away.
