What to Know

Critics Consensus

A back-to-basics caper populated by the likes of a mesmerizing Juno Temple and a thick slice of Hamm, Fargo's fifth season is a superb return to peak form.

A.A. Dowd Primetimer Season 5 restores the dark-comic tone — that existential screwball, a play on Joel and Ethan’s — but still succumbs to some of the same problems, like Hawley’s increasing preference for loudly stated themes and clashing acting styles. Feb 28, 2024 Full Review Esther Zuckerman The Atlantic Much of the pleasure of this Fargo season has come from watching her MacGyver herself out of peril with wicked smarts. But despite Dot’s savviness, the viewer is never quite convinced that she’s out of trouble. Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times There are moments when Season 5 of Fargo seems to be trying almost too hard to be weird and great, but that's a fine ambition to have. There are also moments of absolutely inspired lunacy. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Season 5 feels more like an event than just one more season of the show. In an age when the avalanche of content seems infinite, it feels great that the show takes its time to come up with the best possible story before coming back to our screens. Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Kathryn Reklis The Christian Century Fargo understands this rage more fully, partially because it understands that the battle for patriarchal power is far from over... May 7, 2024 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) This iteration blissfully delivers the desired off-beat humor and distinctive, inimitable violence. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Nonya B I was really disappointed with how this series has declined. On closer examination of the characters there is not one white male character that is a decent human being apart from the protagonist husband who is a clueless idiot patsy. The moral the series makers are trying to convey is VERY heavy handed. And is along the lines of " men are evil apart from black men" The expansion of the protagonists character is not very fleshed out, she seems to have skills and strength far beyond her past and her slight frame can explain. Overall a bit of a damp squib of an end to a decent concept. It seems logical to assume Amazon thought the same as they cancelled this show after this. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review DMC M John Hamm was crazy in this Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Christine N Fantastic season. Amazing television. The character development was a joy to watch. But maybe you have to be a woman, right? Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Donald D I tried, I really tried but after a while the Home Alone appreciation society got to me yes the husband is weak and mum is strong. Yes yes yes that’s been done to death. The 4th season was weak this 5th is the same regurgitating badly written trash. Bye. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Brian D 85%. 4/16/25. Hadn't seen audience rating. Juno Temple is great in this show. Enjoyed the storyline and the mystery of why the men were coming for Dorothy early and why she didn't want to tell the cops. She's a total badass. Hamm's character was funny too being a corrupt kind of hick sheriff. Probably not quite as good as season 1 and 2, but still very good. Has some slower moments and episodes which pulls down the rating a bit. 4/5 rewatch Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Tim G 13:45 into 2nd episode and I just can't take it. Am I the only person that thinks Jennifer Jason Leigh is impossible to watch? Her performances (this one no different, and I tried) are so trite and over the top. I'm going to keep watching the show, just going to fast forward through her scenes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
