June 7, 20223 yr Hail Fargo! In with both feet since Jerry Lundegaard drove his car with that Olds with the factory undercoat on the trailer toward me over the hill in the snow as the orchestral sound track cranked up. Bring it on!
August 8, 20223 yr https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/joe-keery-lamorne-morris-richa-moorjani-fargo-season-5-fx-1235336055/ Season 3 was OK, and I skipped season 4. But I'm back. Back for the Hamm.

August 10, 20223 yr Same. Was season 4 good, people who watched?It had potential to be great but disappointed in my opinion. I thought Tim Olyphant was wasted. I’d watch it during time of little to watch. It might be better bingeing vs as a weekly drop. I’ll likely wait on S5 to complete and binge it.

November 22, 20232 yr Nice first 2 eps. Lost count of all the easter eggs. Love Juno Temple and Dave Foley is a treasure.
November 22, 20232 yr I've kinda been out (kineduh bin oat) since the end of Season 2, but this looks great. I didn't know the actor's name, but immediately recognized Lamorne Morris from "New Girl" where I always really enjoyed his demeanor and timing.
November 22, 20232 yr Great start. Bad ass Juno is awesome. Glad I waited to watch it on DVR because the commercial load is ridiculous. Edited November 22, 20232 yr by 4th&Five
November 23, 20232 yr Popular Post Great start. That poor son of a bitch playing a golfer has one of he worst swings I've ever seen.

November 23, 20232 yr My brain turned inside out at the scene with skinny lead actress housewife pdycho mom knitting on the couch as masked guy walked up onto the deck . . . Homages left and right like golden Easter eggs. Great stuff. Music has big juice. First two episodes- big thumbs up ”Anyone takes my stuff does not get to live.” Can’t get JJL, as she was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, out of my head. Which makes me think of Phoebe Cates’ fine face, ass and tawny, perfect tits . . . Uhhh, . . . I gotta go!

November 24, 20232 yr In the 2nd episode and loving it. So many homages to Fargo the movie, and the Big Lebowski too.

November 26, 20232 yr I'm getting a Hudsucker vibe.What’s with that Boston Brahmin weird accent she uses in different roles.
November 28, 20232 yr Loving how the Cigur like psycho has gone rogue just like in No country for old men.
November 28, 20232 yr Jon Hamm started episode 2 off almost word for word like No Country started. I fuckin love this already.
November 29, 20232 yr Hamm's new wife > old wife. He didn't want "helpless hitchhiker?" Also needs a better master bedroom.

November 29, 20232 yr Also, I like how they're finally getting the locational filming to match the listed setting. Scandia is a quasi-suburb of Twin Cities near the St Croix River and looks the part. Stark County, ND is way out on the west side of the state, and looks it. The one thing that's always pedantically annoyed me as someone who lives basically in this part of the country is all the topographic/biome inaccuracies in contrast to their setting. In the movie, they have Brainerd PD out on the prairie when Brainerd's in the woods. In Season 2, Luverne is set in the north woods and it's out on the prairie. Shit like that.
November 29, 20232 yr Do I need to have watched the Chris Rock season that I assume was the most recent season in order to follow this? I would assume heavily not based on my recollection of the series but I feel like there’s been maybe a little carry over?
November 29, 20232 yr Not at all. They take place six decades apart. Edited November 29, 20232 yr by 4th&Five
November 29, 20232 yr So someone who has not watched any Fargo, movie or TV, can jump into this and enjoy it? I actually did watch the movie but it's been so many years that I can only remember bits and pieces.

The call backs that those of us familiar with this universe are celebrating aren't necessary to understanding what's going on in this series. Fargo the show essentially functions with each season being a stand alone story that has a few Easter Egg/cross over elements to other parts of the Coenverse that only enhance the experience for those in the know.

Each season is self-contained in terms of story. Even if you didn't see the movie you would be fine; you'd just miss out on all the references/familiarities. For example, and this is not really a spoiler, the husband of the female protagonist runs a car dealership.

For example, and this is not really a spoiler, the husband of the female protagonist runs a car dealership. And in both the movie and this season the couple who experienced the kidnapping have a dynamic of one coming from wealth, and the other not coming from wealth. The wealthy family is a side character in both stories. The kidnappers in both cases are a large, stoic, European man, and a smaller American man with a mustache. In both stories the abductions happen in suburban Minneapolis, and the abductors take the victims west out on to the plains. Both stories feature a strong willed female police officer investigating the crimes, who has to come home to deadbeat-ish/layabout husbands. Ok, I'll quit.

Loved season 1 through 3, and this one so far though.
November 29, 20232 yr So is this show like True Detective where each season is separate from the others? I have not watched seasons 1-4 but I love Jon Hamm.
