Every scene in Fargo is compelling, because the show is generously populated with characters so interesting, they could all star in their own spinoff.October 09, 2015
Fargo revels in presenting ordinary folk with extraordinary problems, in stripping away their everyday guises and peering long and hard at their dark potential. That it can do this through adaptations of true stories makes it all the more jaw-dropping.October 09, 2015
The cast is excellent, the plot-lines are richer and more neatly interwoven, and the alternating portions of whimsy and menace are served up with extraordinary panache.October 04, 2016
The fingerprints of writer Noah Hawley and director Randall Einhorn, who worked on the first season, are all over this, and that could explain the smoother transition from season one to season two.October 09, 2015
Despite its endlessly flat landscape, FX's Fargo is elevated by the most spellbinding direction of any drama currently on TV. Season 2 achieves new heights, thanks to writer-director Noah Hawley.October 07, 2015
Here's an anthology miniseries follow-up that recaptures all that worked well in the original, even as it's forging its own identity.October 08, 2015
Hilarious, harrowing and strangely cathartic, everything I put to words for FX's seminal series feels frustratingly futile, but I can say this: the first four hours of Fargo's second season are home to some of my favorite moments of TV in years.October 09, 2015
Okay, then. Let's not dilly-dally and get straight to the point. You betcha, FX's second season of Fargo is a real winner, all right.October 09, 2015
The most important thing about what's before us is that Fargo remains a risk-taker.October 09, 2015
The dialogue in season two of Fargo might be even sharper than season one.
