A quirky film that promises to be based on a true story. But is it?

I cannot recall if the movie and the show Fargo is based on a true story but my mom is a fan of the movie Fargo and I didn't even know that a TV show was made of it. But one thing is that the movie is one of Frances MacDormand's finest performances made. How well does the Fargo TV show follow the movie? Is it as good as the movie or even better?
