    Is it different from the previous seasons? Yes, but it feels fresh and so far it has so much potential. Can't wait to see more episodes.

    It was good, not perfect but good after all. Not as bad as i expected after that reviews came out. Give it a chance.

    Noah Hawley continues his extraordinary franchise with yet another masterpiece. Any fear that Chris Rock was going to have to carry the series on his own is quickly alleviated as another stunning ensemble cast is introduced. Production design, costumes, score and cinematography are all unparalleled.

    Season four of Fargo is its darkest yet -- it's more inspired by other Coen flicks such as Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink than the original film. Admittedly, it seems impenetrable to casual viewers due to uneven pacing, verbose storytelling, and some serious sound mixing problems. However, devoted fans should instantly be enamored with its ambitious themes, terrific cast, darkSeason four of Fargo is its darkest yet -- it's more inspired by other Coen flicks such as Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink than the original film.

    Season 4 is terrific, it starts a bit slow, but builds up nicely. Great characters, great story.

    Don’t be fazed by the negative reviews. This a classic and sticks true to the Fargo formula. Must watch for all day 1 Fargo fans

    These first two episodes of season 4 are already indicating that we are in for another compelling season of television. However so far this season hasn’t captured the magic of the previous three.

    Narratively different but thematically identical to any other Fargo entry, season 4 isn't as strong as it's earlier counterparts but still delivers a worthwhile story put together in an interesting way.

    Five out of ten is way too harsh a score for a pretty good season four. It's the most contrived season but still very entertaining.

    I love it!! Fargo, season 4 is awesome. I am amazed with their acting. I especially like the names of characters in the show. Every name is very unusual.

    In general though, the opening was weighed down with scene setting and favoured style over substance.

    Four seasons in and Fargo is still as strong as ever, a sprawling gangland feud delivered with bravura filmmaking. It’s a lot to get your head round but, skilfully played by a pitch-perfect cast, it’s well worth the effort.

    Given that Fargo has always stood out, it is strange that it seems to be settling for blending in.
