Fargo

The first season is at least feeling-wise the closest one that is to the movie. Billy Bob Thornton is amazing as Lorne Malvo, not just him actually the whole cast is amazing.

The second season is my personal favorite, Starting from here I think Noah Hawley doesn't just get some story elements and scenes from the movie Fargo but from like all of Cohen's filmography, those of you who have seen the show would know what I mean and it's a good thing. Acting is amazing as usual along with intriguing storyline that keeps you hooked up from beginning to end.

The third season is where things slow down, but Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ewan McGregor and especially David Thewlis as V. M. Varga are AMAZING. And I love the cinematography of this season, and I think this is the best looking season of Fargo.

The fourth season is the worst one. We went from subtle dark humor with great stories and interesting characters to fart jokes with cheap mafia story and uninteresting, annoying characters. Also with his squeaky voice I just can't take Chris Rock serious as a mob boss.

The fifth season is kind of mid for me, I remember liking it while watching weekly but when I tried to remember I realized nothing much stayed with me after finishing the whole season. I loved the character Ole Munch, he is the only one that's interesting with all of his background, and other than him the show is just filled with one dimensional weak male characters and girl bosses that have laugh-inducing plot armors.

I'm glad the show's ended. It had almost perfect run. Still win-win actually cause we have 3/5 amazing season here.

...Just finished Season 5 ...the one with Juno Temple,Jon Hamm and Jennifer Jason Leigh and I must say that most of the 10/10 score must go to this season, though all the others were, I think, solid 8's or 9's. I remember the original Film and to be honest, apart from the excellent acting by F Tomelty I was a little underwhelmed,(..ditto ,'3 Billboards...'...sacrilege,I know, but ,Hey Ho!..). In this, we meet Ms Temples scatty mum character who gets into a bit of trouble at an unruly School Meeting ,drawn into a plot where she slowly and tantalisingly reveals hidden depths where she will do anything to keep her little family safe. Although, I binged and enjoyed it immensely,looking back I realise it was quite a feminist wish list fantasy but nothing wrong with that in my book. All the seasons had fantastical elements, at one time or another and I enjoyed them all immensely, not to mention Top quality actors, new and old. More please,Mr or Mrs Showrunner!!!...

I absolutely loved Fargo. It's easily one of my favorite series of all-time. If you don't want to take my word for it just read through all the comments here and look at the rating to see how loved this show is by just about everyone. It has a great review/rating on just about every website there is (IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, etc.) for a reason and that's because this show is amazing. Even though every season is different and some are better than others, the one thing that all of them have in common is that they're all fantastic. Being an anthology series means they can continue to put out as many seasons as they want without the show ever going stale. As long as the quality stays close to these first 5 seasons then I hope they do a bunch more. The writing and acting are as good as anything you'll see on television. I really can't recommend this show enough...it's absolutely amazing!

Season 1: 10/10 Season 2: 10/10 Season 3: 8/10 Season 4: 7/10 Overall: 9/10

I watch way too much american and british TV.

I catch the occasional european, korean or Aussie binge fest.

I love anthologies like these.

Each season is like a great book....each episode a chapter, each book with it's own unique plot with engaging characters.

One of the only TV shows that get's better with each passing season.

Very clever character and story development. Great cinematography. It's just easy to watch.

Complicated enough to engage the mind, loveable enough to binge season after season.

The type of show you watch season 4 again before watching season 5, and season 5 again before season 6....etc.

You will love this. Crime Drama/Thriller at it's best.
