The Useless Hand

With the house sauce, Fargo is brilliant at delving into the mystery and suspense of the narrative, valuing and balancing the exact amount in each episode to finally conclude them with mastery in this penultimate episode, in the most classic style of snow and blood, with exceptional performances throughout the cast.

In the most chaotic and controversial situations where miracles occur, the series brings with it the same elements as the other glorious seasons, showing how far human feelings can go and how they motivate people to be resilient. This is evident in the affectionate relationship with the Lyon family, which contrasts with the breaking of Sheriff Tillman's violent and barbaric extremism due to the escape of Juno Temple's character. The series also demonstrates this in relation to several characters, where all signs and chances of more conscious or reasonable realities being real were ignored, "channeling" the decisions and consequences for this epic season finale!

I have to turn my heater up to watch this series...Power to the people that live their winters below zero!!!! That frigid, ever enveloping fog is it's own character, it should get a series credit maybe(?) So... Ole Munch finally understands and appreciates Dot's humanity. Like when the Grinch recognized the Who's selfless, generous and forgiving state of disposition. As far as Gator.... In the end, Who punished him more severely.... Ole Munch or his daddy? Me thinks the latter. Btw, Joe Kerry's performance, on point! Y'all let us feel a bit of empathy for repugnant Sheriff Roy's unfortunate prodigy.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Fargo were unlike anything we'd ever seen before... it was new and refreshing, odd and pleasing. And, although weaker, season 3 did some amazing things as well... some very amazing things.

Since then, it's been lazy/typical Hollywood hogwash - mainly because the show's creators couldn't stop themselves from injecting that which kills all things in entertainment: their soggy social and political beliefs... all while piling-on the unneccesary: increasingly deranged and unmotivated violence.

They won their audience over with high-end craftsmanship, then they rested on their laurels thinking they can do no wrong.

Instead of fighting to keep their audience interested, they lecture and misrepresent the members of the audience that they loathe.

They are no longer entertainers, but self-appointed lecturers... the court jesters think they are the wise counselors... they think they can ridicule the very people who who gave them success, and then they wonder why the audience always abandons them.

This is exactly what happens when a show creator or entertainer thinks he is more important than his audience.

Once we saw the events of episode 8, what comes next is almost set in concrete. Not that there isn't a feeling of satisfaction watching idiots get what they deserve and our protagonists find their way through. The humor folded in to the dialog and the subplots coming to a head make for a satisfying episode which I will be rewatching at least two more times before the conclusion next week. All is forgiven for the Dot dream episode and several plot detours some may find unnecessary. Getting Dot home to Wayne and Scotty seem to be the obvious outcome and several other characters demise a possibility. Bring on the conclusion of season 5 and one of the best seasons of Fargo, in my opinion.

This has to be the worst season. How can a little thing like her do everything she has done. It makes now sense. People wouldn't be stupid enough to leave her alone when they know she has escaped be for. If anyone likes this season they are nuts.

I don't understand how the writers would think people would buy that she could all she has done. How she has gotten out of so many jams. Some one would have been watching her 24/7 of he wanted to keep her with him.

I can't tell anyone to watch this season of Fargo. The first two seasons were so good then just went down down hill. Very disappointed for sure.
