Loved the movie, loved series 1, loved series 2, loved series 3, but series 4 what happened, so many series now seem to be needing to be so politically correct/woke that they are forgetting to write well, act well and give quality drama.Loved the movie, loved series 1, loved series 2, loved series 3, but series 4 what happened, so many series now seem to be needing to be so politically correct/woke that they are forgetting to write well, act well and give quality drama. Look back on the movie and series, strong females, strong minorities, strong values that aren't always traditional, great writing and great action. By any standard quality stuff. But I couldn't make it through episode 2, it's just trying so hard to tick the boxes and push popular contemporary themes, they forgot to write well and bring in actors believable in the roles. What they are trying to do and good drama aren't mutually exclusive, but I think maybe when you forget to start with with good drama and mix up the characters, and start with a check list of characters and try to fit that into a good drama, it just doesn't work. But hey that's just me, if you like it, good for you.… Expand

This is such a cool series that expands on the movie in an immensely satisfying way, constructing a tapestry of crime.

The Fargo series 1-3 reached silver screen levels of cinematic storytelling, this is something totally different, totally inferior. Fargo series 4 is far too consumed with race and politics to tell a compelling story. This wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the fact that it has nothing new to say on race or political issues. I'll stick to rewatching 1-3… Expand

Out of 4 seasons, the first was my least favorite because it was just a retelling of the original with a better villain. Still loved it though. This iteration is so far my least favorite. There is simply too much going on for me. I love JasonOut of 4 seasons, the first was my least favorite because it was just a retelling of the original with a better villain. Still loved it though. This iteration is so far my least favorite. There is simply too much going on for me. I love Jason Schwartzman, but I usually do. Jessie Buckley is her usual weird, awesome self. I haven't seen her in anything where she didn't shine. And Timothy Oliphant is an always welcome addition, though short-lived and underutilized here. I love Chris Rock, but this character is just full of too much BLM **** in a time where that wasn't a thing. It seems as if, yet again, the writers and directors came up with a rich character that was polluted by some producer or marketing execs woke idealism. The worst character is the teenage black girl. So annoying and smug for no apparent reason. They could have cut the cast down to about half and same with the storylines, opting to follow just Chris Rock and Jason Schwartzman's family affairs and it would have been better. Still a great show and I'm looking forward to the next, but this was disappointing in comparison to the other seasons.… Expand

The season 4 misses the point of what Fargo has always been, quirky and really strange characters within a strange and captivating story. Season 4 is nothing of those things, ALSO dear creators, stop with that rubbish "This is a true story"

"Fargo" (S01, 10 eps, 1hr) is a "true story" melodrama that starts with multiple murders - including local law - in sleepy/tiny Bemidji, Minnesota. So I tried, and no, this type of show isn't for me. Besides the rampant sociopathic murdering,"Fargo" (S01, 10 eps, 1hr) is a "true story" melodrama that starts with multiple murders - including local law - in sleepy/tiny Bemidji, Minnesota. So I tried, and no, this type of show isn't for me. Besides the rampant sociopathic murdering, ironically it's a dull, slow paced story I couldn't sit through even if the plot was different. And I know this because I tried similar sleepers "The Old Man", "Night Sky", and "Outer Range". Jeez, aren't we all just starving for streamers these days, but damn if it's not the hardest thing to find the gems.… Expand
