Fargo is THE most consistently good show on television. Season 5 was just as good as Season 1 and that is a such a rarity these days! The dark humor, the beautiful shots, and the amazingly flushed-out characters all contribute to a season that had me looking forward to every episode. The characters are flawed but lovable, super-dramatic but not cheesy or cliché. The Swede was the funnest, weirdest character I've had the pleasure of watching on any show this whole year. Almost every scene has a real beauty to it, and the plot line was a real joy to behold. Most shows these days seem to dramatically dip in quality after the first season. Fargo, somehow, truly seems to be one of the few series' that just gets better with time and I love it for being able to do so. Whatever formula the show runners use should be applied to every damn program on television.

I love this series. I know that the main purpose of the show is to be entertaining, but I hugely appreciate the honesty with which they approach problems in the meat industry. Not a lot of programming has the bravery to do so. It has great, relatable participants from a wide range of backgrounds. The people presenting the ideas were interesting but also were cool people who I might be friends with. The truth about our environment and diet can be tough to face, but that made me even more impressed by the way the show smoothly melded it into their competition. I'm a big fan, and will help spread the word. I came for the entertainment and stayed for the education.
