Really enjoyed it. It felt a little Coen lite at times or like they were doing their best approximation of a Coen Brother's impression, but only at times. It only took me out a few times, mostly when they tried to recreate or directly quote the film.
Also enjoyed the little nods to other Coen films, like White Russians being on the specials board. Nice touch. A little cloying maybe, but I appreciated it.
The acting is stellar. The tone is right. I laughed a lot. I'll definitely keep watching.
And I adore the film. I watch it ever year during the first big snow fall or winter storm.
