When Lester has a close call, Molly makes an unorthodox decision. Gus weighs some sound advice from his neighbour, and Malvo gets what he wants.

What I Liked:

The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its beautiful and mesmerizing music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance, with Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman being the clear standouts.

Malvo is one of the most intriguing individuals you will see on television, with Thornton's portrayal being nothing short of superb, along with Freeman's portrayal of Lester.

What I Disliked:

Similar to the premiere, there is a plot hole regarding the information Lester knows about Malvo, somehow knowing his name despite never receiving this information. I doubt he would have asked Malvo his name in the premiere, considering how their interaction went.

Given this is a setup episode, there are some uninteresting portions, mainly the scenes involving Gus.

Overall:

Though not the best this show has offered so far, this is still a great setup episode. Fargo has been a highly enthralling show to watch so far.

8/10
