Reviews for Fargo

This was insane. I loved the movie, but I never expected the show to be this good. A perfect homage to the original, with a ton of easter eggs hidden away in the snow for the die-hard Fargo fans to point their fingers at the screen to, and a perfect season on its own. Also, what a cast; their perf

A brilliant exploration of human nature, morals, and religious beliefs that takes an abundant amount of inspiration from classical crime dramas and blends it with some great black comedy. Fargo offers a talented ensemble cast, some great twists, and creates a chilling atmosphere of Minnesota. The s

Lorne Malvo (L)orne (Ma)lv(o)

One fateful night, a man crashes into a deer while driving down the road. But this is no ordinary man. Lorne Malvo is a malignant force, one that was never meant to intersect with this small town in Minnesota. He leaves violence and death wherever he goes. But he also has no reason to stay. He has m

I feel so strangely about this season and it's sort of the same feeling I have toward the movie. With the movie it felt a little boring in the moment but I really appreciated it in retrospect, in this case my episode ratings were pretty consistently unremarkable but as an overall story I think it's

January 2006… somewhere in the freezing town of bemidji, minnesota… all a true story a simple but ridiculously eventful, close-knit, well-written crime drama that explores the simple human dilemmas & moral complexities we face, & never fails to completely cross boundaries in humor & violence it’

the definition of a first draft everything in this show feels so like crawley didnt know what to do. i watched this with my family so that was nice but i think we're going to find a new show to watch. pretty disappointed. i feel like this show wasn't actually about anything and none of the character

A great investigation with a very acidic humor in 10 episodes, Season 1 of Fargo in a very satisfactory way keeps my interest with each episode, each investigation. By the way, a great cast too, worth mentioning. 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙨 1. Ep. 10 - Morton's Fork (4.5/5.0) 2. Ep. 09 - A F

Easily one of the best seasons with a lot of great characters

The season was very well paced and the characters all felt very grounded and realistic. The acting was fantastic from both Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton. Martin Freeman really nailed the humble, irritated man who has to deal with something he didn't think he was capable of earlier and Billy

Really enjoyed this season, probably one of the most comedic seasons I have watch with some level of seriousness. I thought this season would be entirely different from what I have thought but this slaps. Lorne Malvo is one of my favourite antagonist, again he’s like skinnier Anton Chigurh. His dia

Solid and often excellent. Still a bit restrained from its more subversive aspects though so I’m excited to see where it goes from here

Great season


Gotta mention, the very fact I never want to see Martin Freeman's smug little face again proves he did so good in this

Very good. Malvo might be my favorite tv villain. Not the greatest ending but it’s not bad.

absolutely nails the tone of the original movie, it's got a perfect mix of fun small town vibes and very dark murderous events. there are some pretty crazy twists in here, and an incredible antagonist in lorne malvo. great cinematography as well, scenes like the blizzard shootout in episode six re

One of the funniest seasons I have seen so far tbh. It definitely has its flaws and a lot of moments that dont really make that much sense and are very convenient BUT I can see past all that since this is based on a true story and was incredibly fun to watch. Malvo is definitely the Highlight imo I
...

Probably the greatest first season for a show ever, on par with True Detective.

I have watched the movie a couple of times. It's a well-made film but I didn't love it. I absolutely loved this. So many coincidences occur but it never took me out. The performances are all around great, especially by Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton. Lorne Malvo is one of the best TV villains

jesus christ talk about a perfect season of a TV show, perfect omage to the original movie while creating new characters just as interesting (im logging/rating each season individually since its an anthology show) favorite episode: morton's fork (episode 10)
