Fargo
A masterpiece of underplay and a black comedy à l’époque, Fargo is a Coen watershed.

No small feat: Anderson the director who breathed new life into Gene Hackman.

3/5. Dark and fizzy, unexpectedly light and bitter. Flavours include grass, orange peel and grapefruit.

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
