Geordie Gray The Australian While that’s not strictly necessary, with this being an anthology series, it’s worth it. Nov 6, 2023 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR By giving us a wide array of characters who's brutality and venality are covered with just the right amount of Minnesota nice, "Fargo" shows us all just how a modern TV anthology is supposed to work. Nov 26, 2019 Full Review Melinda Houston Sydney Morning Herald Fargo 2.0 promises to be every bit as fun, surprising and thought-provoking as the original. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 14, 2017 Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica If you're not going to show aliens, it takes more than a few lens flares to properly get the point across. This is where Fargo has truly excelled-it built an atmosphere where the possibility of paranormal to feels real. Jul 27, 2021 Full Review Prahlad Srihari Firstpost Hawley's reinvention of the classic Coen brothers flick...feels like a terrifying new burlesque where endearing townsfolk and pitiful town fools, honest cops and underhand businessmen, petty criminals and unstoppable killers all clash like mice in a maze. Jul 24, 2020 Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) The second season has maintained the high bar of the first and the film. With memorable characters like those ordinary types caught in the spiral of violence. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel J The story complexity and weaving builds is more sturdy than the first season. Fantastic acting and themes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Frans B Improving constantly and very exciting to watch. Evolving with every season it seems into something even more amazing. Still excellent cast that shines in character and the cinematography continues to impress. Still looking forward to every new episode, very exciting and addictive. Can't wait to see what happens next ... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Brian D 81%. 1/2/25. Not as good as the first season but still very entertaining. Kirsten Dunst's character is fascinating. She kills Kieran Culkin the doesn't want her husband to to the right thing and tell the cops it was an accident and ends up getting her husband killed by the Indian. They get mixed up. between the local family and the KC mafia that wants to buy the family's operation. The Indian ends up being the main antagonist as he turns on the family. They never end up catching him. Last episode is pretty slow. 4/5 rewatch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review C N Unacceptable and frankly evil. I will disillusion you, reader, immediately; this is NOT a true story. Not even loosely. It is entirely fictitious. Despite this, the series claims, at the start of each episode, that it is a real story - that the names of the characters are changed at the request of the survivors, but otherwise, the events are depicted as they happened. To be clear, at no point is it revealed that the events are fake. A viewer who does not know this in advance will watch the show believing it is true. This isn't a fun, cute, creative cinematographic device. This is plain deceit. A feeble, cowardly lie to make the story "better" by some standards. And, more importantly, it spreads misinformation. We really should be pushing the Coen brothers and Hawley to issue an apology because this is unacceptable. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review D M Excellent season, Kristen Dunst really nailed it. I didn't even realize it was her at first. lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review David N This season deserve much more credit they what they have gotten, and its gotten a lot! Some of my favorite drama TV of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
