~ With the recent string of success of FX's shows (the Americans and Fargo), their initial trepidation on the original concept of the journey of the mind and the tangential tie to the Fox's X-Men universe was put to rest after because of the stunning pilot episode that was successfully brought to life by the stellar cast and the experienced hands of Noah Hawley

~ The surprising hit of the brave adaptation of Fargo into an adept television series is partly because of the hands of Noah Hawley who took another big risk (and succeed for now) in adapting this obscure series that canonically tied closely with the main character of the X-Men but he wanted to solely focus on the protagonist's journey to deal with his state of mind and explore his true power instead of connecting it directly which is a better decision considering the muddled cinematic timeline
