In this anthology series inspired by the 1996 film, each season follows a mostly new cast of characters who get involved with murder investigations in different Midwestern towns, with seemingly unrelated crimes sometimes being connected in some way.

Critics Consensus

Though Fargo's ambitious fourth season struggles to maintain momentum, fine performances and a change of scenery make for an engaging -- if uneven -- departure from the series' norm.

This gives you ample time to delve into the other seasons, should you have neglected to have done so...

Times (UK)

The first half of this opening episode was just tremendous, although I did feel the second drifted a bit.

Guardian

Given that Fargo has always stood out, it is strange that it seems to be settling for blending in.

Rated: 3/5

Andrew Bundy

Projector of Feelings

Showrunner Noah Hawley’s prevalent, anthology adaptation of the Coen’s original work started as a purposeful echo to the original, Oscar-winning picture, but has expanded into a sprawling love letter to the revered filmmakers’ tremendous career oeuvre

Rated: 5/5

I'm trying but can't get through episode one. The other seasons were great, this one is not so good.

What a waste of time. Very bad season. Big names, no story, dialog, acting, or sense whatsoever. I don't understand why this has the Fargo name on it.

This is not Fargo as we know it. This is more like a tedious Wes Anderson. Actually if you like all of Anderson’s work -even the shonky ones then don’t be afraid to try this. Gone are the stranger mysteries and replaced with unlikeable characters (except Chris Rock who ironically is supposed to be a tough gang boss but more like your friendly neighbour) After 3 episodes I realised I don’t care what happens to anyone or what the plot has waiting for. It’s going nowhere. It’s just painful to watch. The premise has potential at the start but it wasn’t clever or inspiring. The first episode was ok. (This seems to be what critics review ) but to be honest, I recommend to skip this one and skip to season 5

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

This season takes one a little by surprise in many ways. Pace and overall tempo slows down a little but that is also necessary in this context. Still absorbing to watch and engages adequately. I still love it a lot
