Ep. 1: Greetings from Bemidji

Go behind the scenes to uncover the art of casting Bemidji's many colorful residents.
Ep. 2: Shades of Green

This slightly weird and weirdly engaging featurette focuses on Lorne Malvo, creating a hitman steeped in ambiguity and mystery, Thorton's performance, his hair, make-up and costuming, and his presence, spoken and unspoken. Also covered, Adam Goldberg and Russell Harvard's killers, their snowy encounter with Malvo, and the use of the wolf near the end of the season.
Ep. 3: This Is a True Story

Two-part documentary wherein the cast and crew discuss the freedom of television, the surprisingly long history of the project, adapting the Coen Brothers' film (with their blessing), the elements of the script and series that drew them to the show, striking the proper tone, honoring the past while pressing on toward the future, creating new characters to inhabit an already established story, shooting in Calgary, and much more.
Ep. 4: Lou on Lou: A Conversation with Patrick Wilson, Keith Carradine and Noah Hawley

An exploration of the character played by Wilson and Carradine at different stages of life.
Ep. 5: The Films of Ronald Reagan with Audio Commentary by Bruce Campbell

No overview for this episode.
Ep. 6: The History of True Crime in the Mid West

An exploration of the idea that the stories of each season come from a book.
Ep. 7: Waffles and Bullet Holes: A Return to Sioux Falls

A set of two featurettes which offer some good interviews.
