I can't wait

The first season>>>>

Will it outdo True Detective S2?

Now 94 on Metacritic. Of course, there will probably be more threads about fellow FX anthology AHS than there will be posts about Fargo...cuz that's how atrl rolls.

AHS is gay-friendly, gratuitous and over-the-top that's why.

It is on 95 right now, I can't wait to see Jean Smart and Patrick Wilson. Jean Smart will probably get another Emmy with this role And poor Show Me A Hero its hype lasted only about 2 months I'm glad this did not end up like True Detective did, critics really hated it

Critics really love FX series, with Louie and The Americans also having the highest score in their respective genres

**ck. That. Was. Good.
Seriously. Aliens. In the season premiere. Gorgeous shot tho' And you know what even if they don't explicitly mention that moment for the rest of the season I might still be fine with it. (i think it's halucination due to the guy doing cocaine, but what about the shoe in the tree?)



Peggy (Kirsten Dunst) telling her husband that she thought she told him about the hit and run was hilarious.
Kirsten's character being near sociopathic like Lester (Martin Freeman) in season 1 was EXACTLY what i wanted The Emmy is in the bag.

"Oh, dear me," ejaculated Mrs. Pepper.
Even the children's stories in this show are ****ed up. Welcome back, Fargo. One episode in and you've already blown True Detective's second season right out of the water.

Finished this episode with five thoughts:
1. Mike is fantastic.
2. I think Peggy's friend wanted to bang her.
3. Little Molly is adorable
4. We got the woodchipper scene! Except it was a meat grinder.
5.


I loved Molly's mom finding the gun. I always thought she took after her dad but it seems like she's a perfect product of both of them.
Patrick Wilson's delivery of "Mommy's doing Daddy's job for him AGAIN"
I'm 100% sure the whole UFO thing is essentially here to distract us

I love the music in this show.
I was worried they wouldn't be able to top last season's score. I never should have doubted them.

Good example of critics not mattering to America:
Critically slapped S2 True Detective managed to increase in ratings from the previous year.
Critically worshipped S2 Fargo's premiere was down 40% year-to-year; the second episode was down 58% year-to-year.

I never had much use for Patrick Wilson before this, but Lou's personality is so damn winning.
Yeah, it's fun to hear him stand up to the Gerhardts and to the Kansas City boys, but it's just as much fun to see him sigh when Schmidt tells him in the courthouse about how hard this case is going to be. Patrick Wilson really picked up the same gesture and attitude as old Lou in season 1.
- I loved Mike's voice suddenly getting much deeper and more menacing for a moment in his confrontation with Lou. "...doing ME a favor."
- I felt so bad for the poor typewriter guy. Sure, he got himself into this mess, but he didn't deserve that.
- Hope somebody kills Dodd (Mike, maybe? He'd do it with style), and I hope it's painful. The way he treated his daughter was unsettling
- I know this show has been compared to death to True Detective, but I think it's interesting just how similar the plot of its second season is to TD's second season: one death caused by a pair of unconnected oddballs sets off a massive chain reaction revealing corruption and pitting police against organized crime.



"Am I the only one here who's clear on the concept of law enforcement?" he's a charm




Sadly nothing new.
I couldn't care less about ratings for Fargo because i know it's an accolade-driven show. FX knows it's accolade-driven, this season will sweep tons of awards, if season 1 did it, this will do better. + It's a mini-serie anthology, so if it get cancelled, who cares? since it's a closed ending.

And it's not really the type of show you watch week by week, tons of people will binge watch the season once it's over.

This season is SO good. I really thought that season 1 was perfect and they couldn't do any better, but they just amped everything up from 10 to 20 without losing any quality, which is a huge feat.

This show is absolutely flawless.

Incredible episode, once again.

Jesus, is it possible to hate Dodd any more than we already do? I can't stand the guy.
As for the Gerhardts: I loved Floyd (the mom), I respect Hanzee (the indian), I feel bad for Charlie (the crippled) & Simone (Dodd's daughter), & I even have some heart & understanding for Bear (Charlie's father), but goddammit if Dodd isn't the biggest ****-up piece of **** I've seen in quite some time.
He's literally single-handedly destroying any chance for a Gerhardt legacy.

The whole butcher shop attack scene scared me witless. I was already on edge during Charlie's earlier aborted attempt at murder, when Noreen's friendliness and charm dissuaded him. Then, during the actual attack, Noreen (slight little thing that she is) jumped in to help, bless her heart. Even after Camus had her thinking life's not worth living, she suddenly did want to live (and wanted to save Ed, too). Noreen is one of the quieter gems on this show. I love her.

Don't mess with a Peggy and her magazines. Or you get a sink to the head and an electric cattle to the heart.
She lured them into her spider's web of hoarded lifestyle magazines. That was pretty awesome.


When this season started I felt like Peggy was clearly more delusional than Ed, but Ed seems to be just as nuts as her. They are perfect for eachother. I'm enjoying the fact that this crisis seems to be bringing them closer together rather than splitting them up.
Also hurray for no weird UFO references this week!




I just found out they built pretty much a whole new season of a show off a few offhand mentions of past events.
