US: Fargo

weringo · 24 Dec 2017 at 13:38

Just finished season 3 and it wasn't a patch on the first two (with s1 definitely the best). This show is all about the villains and Varga was just a bit of a silly character.

Also they ripped off the ending from Lord of War except this time you don't know if the door opens or not.

It's interesting what other people's take on things is. I thought David Thewlis was superb in the menace he projected. Cocking his head to one side looking the target in the eyes while stalking them. That's what a wolf does. 2 x Ewen McGregors was no bad thing either along with Carrie Who's Name Shall Not Be Uttered On This Forum. Hoping for a 4th series, but may be a while, apparently.

It's been renewed but probably won't appear until 2019

Just finished series 3 and whilst I liked the series on the whole, I found the last episode to be massively disappointing after the first 20 minutes or so. Just seemed to be a cop out on a lot of storylines.

Hmm, I'm sure it'll all make sense when we start watching...

Why do the families swap the sons?

Fargo is kind of Marmite (you either love it or hate it) and I struggled with at least one season but this season so far seem to have gone full Woke.

To do with binding the families together, I think.

Was happy to see Raylan Givens in episode 3

Think as well as that, its like a hostage guarantee to encourage peace and deter them from conflict.

the new season so far has been really good! season 2 lost me half way through but this is on a different level, i may have to go back and look into season 3 as i kinda wrote it off after 2.

I've decided to give up after half way through episode 4. It's not a patch on the first 3 seasons unfortunately

Only just released there was a 4th series. Watching the trailer and the bank scene entrance is the exact same as it is used in Public Enemies!

Tried to watch the first episode and just about made it through. This isn't Fargo I remember from the first series. I'm not sure what this is but I won't be watching any more of it. It's dull and tries to be quirky but comes off as desperate and disjointed. I suspect this is the final series.

Got the last Ep to watch and if this show ends I will not miss it.

Yes thought it was a little underwhelming compared to the other seasons.

It's the black and white episode that killed this season for me, couldn't get through it, tried three times, don't think i'll be returning for the rest.

I finished this, but had to force myself to watch the last 3-4 episodes, lots didn’t make much sense, lots of tangents and also became quite boring.

JohnG7 · 9 Dec 2020 at 20:02

I had to struggle top watch last ep, took me till the other night from it airing.

So sad to read all of this. I loved the previous seasons and was hoping this would be a grand finale. I can only conclude from all the awful reviews that it's not worth investing the time in.

Recently watched seasons 1 and 2 when I had some time to kill - not bad but season 3 I just can't get into 1.5 episodes in and I've lost all interest and can't see myself going back to it.
