Not completely true. We know the movie is in the same continuity with the show.The movie has nothing to do with the show, they are two completely different characters and plots.If you didnt see the movie it should not affect your experience.
Apparently none of it is based on a true story. It's sort of like a joke or a lie to make the show seem more grounded.I know the show is based on a true story, idk if the movie is.
I was a huge fan of the movie and am loving the show. I like how it's paced and doesn't exactly follow the same story line of the film but keeps a lot of the themes intact.The closest Fargo comes to being a "true story" is that one might fairly say it was "inspired by" some real-life incidents, primarily the disappearance of Helle Crafts, a Danish flight attendant, from her home in Newtown, Connecticut, in 1986. Helle's husband, Richard (against whom she had begun divorce proceedings), was eventually arrested, tried, and convicted of her murder: Police theorized that Richard Crafts had struck his wife unconscious in their bedroom with a blunt object, then placed her body in freezer; he later removed her body from the freezer, chopped it up with a chainsaw, put the pieces through a woodchipper, and scattered the remains in and around a nearby river.

It IS inspired by several real events that happened, they pieced them together, blew them out of proportion and wrote a new story out of them. So in a sense, it is based on real life that they spun into a new story.

I never said it was based on a true story, I said it was inspired by real life events that they pieced together, added some fiction and wrote a new story from that.Well this is REALLY blown out of proportion. I could probably find some similar murder cases dating back to the 80s to make it seem the show or movie is based off of it. This aint even located in the same area.
Also if you click the link in your quote it straight up says this isn't based on a true story
