Fargo Season 5 *Spoilers*

Was scrolling through Prime last night and didn't notice that Fargo was there at all. Did notice the movie alright.

See it now. They have it well hidden.

Really looking forward to Season 5. Can't wait. I'll let the episodes build up and Binge!!

Lead actor/actress British again. You'd think in a country of 300 million people, there would be more American actors getting cast in these roles rather than going with English actors putting on distractingly bad accents. You'd be fairly miffed if you were an American actor/actress with a similar profile to Juno Temple. I know Quentin Tarantino commented on it recently because he has no **** to give. Wonder how long it is before more Americans complain about it.

Thought I was going to despise this after a woeful enough first 25 minutes but it improved enough afterwards to warrant giving the second episode a shot.

Does have all the hallmarks of a post-Sopranos woke (yeah I'm using that word, get over it) TV production. Subverting the traditional roles with the badass female character and her whipped ineffectual husband who looks like he arrived fresh off The Big Bang Theory set. The badass family matriarch and her array of manservants. The female cop and her feckless husband. Gets a bit tiresome after a while.

Fierce derivative as well this. Lead baddy (so far) clearly aping Anton Chigurh with the silly haircut. Feels like a redux of Fargo movie, No Country for Old Men and several other things.

Anyways, looks like it has more going for it than the shite that was Fargo Season 4 Episode 1.

Frances McDormands character in the original movie was pretty badass and that movie is nearly 30 years old.

Definitely a season that seems truer to the movie, but that's not a bad thing. The sense of humour, the accents, the script...I won't get tired of it ayway.

Can't do spoilers on mobile but Joe keerys line when he walks into the kitchen with the scene in front of him had me in bits

Really enjoying it so far. Far funnier and darker than the previous few series. Better characters and development of them. The scene with Muffin and the security guy, while trivial as such was great. I don't think Sheriff Roy has really come into it yet. My guess is it will be soon when Dot goes and confronts him or takes the son out.

Agreed. Awful stuff.

Just watch ep 6. Much improved. Jennifer Jason Leigh getting into character now olrite.

Thought it was fairly disappointing tbh, had potential but failed to deliver consistently. Last episode was baffling. Definitely a big step down from the first few seasons. Also turns out that none of it is true despite its claims at the start of each episode.

It’s meant as a joke, Fargo lists itself as a comedy drama and the true story claim is actually an homage to the Coen brothers’ original movie of the same name. The 1996 film opened with that exact wording

I’m really enjoying it. It moves along quickly and doesn’t hang in the filler episodes. The main actress is believable in the way she isn’t overpowering guys that are twice her size, she’s more vicious and resourceful than physically strong (like the main character in Hanna).
