Antecedently, in the Fargo thread...

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, this season was basically mostly so-so buildup for really, really good payoff. I'm delighted, and finally broke my long run of not doing theme names in honor of it.

[Josh]

Good call.

[nabeel]

Finished binging this show early last week and wow, incredible. I usually don't watch a lot of TV but the first few minutes of the pilot convinced me that this was right up my alley. A shoutout to Zan's mafia game for making me aware of this show.

[Josh]

Well damn.

[GoGo Yubari]

I think my feeling on that one was "oh, this is objectively good and also I didn't enjoy it." It's clearly a good evocation of the No Country For Old Men/A Serious Man types of Coen Brothers endings but I don't think I want those in a story that runs over ten hours as opposed to the two to 2.5 hours the movies run.

Spoiler

I think if you have Molly Solversson and, say, Lorne Malvo or Lester Nygaard in the place where Gloria Burgle and V.M. Varga are, I don't care as much. But Varga is so irredeemably awful and disgusting that not getting true, genuine comeuppance for him in the way every other Fargo villain has gotten in one form or another and getting the Schrodinger's Cat ending instead just drove me nuts, particularly after Llewellyn Moss'ing Nikki twenty minutes prior.

EDIT: also for posterity's sake, I changed the thread title because "don'tcha know" seems to be the one Midwesternism the show pretty much eschewed. SORRY BENJI (though I dunno if you read this thread anymore anyway)

Fargo season 4 is set in the 50s, with Chris Rock as the first cast member announced. Damn.

[GoGo Yubari]

Here's the bulk of the cast for season 4.

Of special note: Jason Schwartzman! Jack Huston! Ben Whishaw as a character named Rabbi Milligan, what an interesting surname!

[Adam]

I was literally thinking about Fargo last night, for the first time in ages. Very excited to see how this next season ends up looking.

[Josh]

Kansas City crime syndicate!

[MalaCloudy Black]

Uzo Aduba's in for S4.

[Oakesy]

Is there any release date for season 4 yet? It's been ages since season 3

[GoGo Yubari]

No specific date but supposed to be sometime next spring. They're filming it right now.

[Baddar]

How was S3? It's the only one I haven't watched, and I heard it had a shitty ending so I've been a bit put off. 

[Josh]

It’s the weakest season, but still worth watching. Probably a lot better when you can just burn right through them.

[Maxx]

OLYPHANT IN FARGO 😍

[livid]

Since Olyphant is in the new season I now feel obligated to actually get around to watching S1-3. I should start that soon, I suppose. 

[Josh]

I’ve been rewatching Season 1 in a series watch through to get my fiancé caught up before Season 4. I somehow never caught how much of Season 2’s plot recalls seemingly innocuous bits from Season 1.

[GoGo Yubari]

Fargo season 4's premiere date has been set for September 27th, after being delayed like half a year due to the last couple weeks of shooting running up against the pandemic. @livid, I hope you've started your watchthrough!

[livid]

I never got around to it but I have to make the time now! 

[mattu29]

just finished season 1, which was really good, whats the general consensus for season 2, better or worse than 1?
