Obviously, everyone is entitled to their opinion. To me, it doesn’t suck, it’s just not as great as...well really only season 1.
That’s kinda the problem with anthology series. It’s so hard to continually ace every season. Fargo season 1 was a masterpiece. Season 2 was very good/great. Season 3 was good. Season 4 to me has been okay. Watchable, enjoyable but not some fantastic must see TV. I can only imagine if there’s a season 5 it will probably flat suck. [Reply]

If this season has a problem, it's one of cohesion.
Seems like there is [thus far] a patchwork of set pieces and soliloquies more than a narrative. There's still time to patch it all together, but it's not easy to see at the moment how the various scenes add up to something compelling. [Reply]

This all the way. There's too many things going too many ways. I feel like episodes keep introducing things but they don't really go anywhere. [Reply]

Agree with these takes. Its worth the time to watch. It has its moments. But, a long way from the season 1 masterpiece. [Reply]
I am a big Fargo fan and was really excited to see it set in 50's KC. My old man was a cop in those days and heard some stories, etc.
But they should have made this season a few years ago. The current theme in every show these days has a large SJW undertone. It's so frustrating. Can't we just tell a story without all the guilt?
Also, Chris Rock is a hack comedian performing as a hack actor. Was sad to see Oliphant get killed off this week. [Reply]
I'm enjoying this season. I get that there are a lot of threads out that don't seem to relate, but I think that occurred in past seasons too - and they were eventually related. All these Fargo stories have had a big dose of quirkiness and we are still in the middle of it. [Reply]
Don't forget to watch thru the credits to see a little scene connecting season 4 and season 2. I didn't realize they were the same character. I'm an idiot [Reply]
