What how intrigued me for the third time in this series is that you have an incredible confluence of really bad people. Mixed in are the dullards and the overblown egos that think they have some control. We have those Ukrainians running the show like something out of Kafka, the brothers facing off, never really seeing each other. Then there's that psychotic woman. And, we know that the female police officer really knows her stuff and will be stifled by the hot shot police chief. The parking lot kings get moved in on and will potentially become billionaires. On paper. But a lot is still in the dark, so we get the great opportunity to see how all this gets intertwined. Once again, excellent cinematography, maybe the best on television.
After the initial episode i found myself a little disappointed. None of the characters stood out for me as particularly interesting and i couldn't help but compare them to greats like Lorne Malvo, Hanzee Dent, Otto Gerhardt and Lester Nygaard. But that was a mistake on my part, jumping to a conclusion without letting the show expand in the slightest. Episode 2 and i was back to being hooked, As the characters develop i find myself more and more interested in them. The cinematography was as good as ever, Beautiful shots along with brilliant scores, decent acting and as ever great storytelling. All in all i have to say that from what i have seen thus far i have faith that this season of Fargo will continue tradition in being one of the best shows on our TV screens, I'm itching for the next episode.
Gloria deals with the aftermath of a crime, Vargas makes a move, and Ray and Nikki move on to Plan B.
What I Liked:
The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its well-crafted and memorable music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance.
V. M. Varga is an intriguing character, stealing every scene he's in, and I will be fascinated to see what unfolds with him this season.
What I Disliked:
Nikki and Ray's storyline is noticeably less enjoyable than anything else this season. While no fault of the actors, the material they have to work with isn't very interesting.
Overall:
Fargo delivers a high-quality second episode, an improvement from the premiere. One can only surmise this season will continue to improve moving forward.

Last week Fargo put together quite the premiere episode. Setting up each individual storyline enough to where we can potentially piece some of the puzzle together. How much of this season will follow along the same path that the first two did? I'm not sure, but I can't wait to see how it unfolds. With that said, the second episode was a slower and more methodical approach than last week. No one died, for one. But there also wasn't a ton of movement on Gloria's investigation into her step-father's murder, and the Stussy brothers shared the same conflict as they did last week. The episode felt more like the aftermath of last week's debacle than a new story on its own. Nonetheless, it will always be entertaining to me to watch Ewan McGregor navigate acting against himself with two completely different characters like Emit and Ray. If nothing else, this season will no doubt distinguish itself by providing an entirely different family dynamic than we have had the past two seasons. Speaking of the past seasons, we got our first glimpse into who are most certainly the new crime fighting duo of Yuri and Meemo. In the movie & first two seasons we've had the pleasure of watching two strange humans delight our screens with humor and crime, and I think these two are no different. Hopefully, these are only a few of more casting additions to this already astonishingly good cast. In all, I wasn't overly thrilled with this outing, but it's still better than 70% of everything else on television.
