Jesus Fucking Christ Fargo 2

Season 1 is much better, though.

Hanzee being Tripoli was retarded.

Only weakspot was that contrived effort to tie the series to season 1 with Hanzee getting magical plastic surgery and becoming the Fargo mob boss. He should have either died or rode off into the sunset. Like, it doesn't even add anything to the universe and it's just plain awkward writing.

Other than that it's just as good, if not better than S1.

Season 1 is god tier

I genuinely thought season 2 was the edgier one (I still preferred it like you though). I was impressed with season 1's protagonists just being genuinely decent individuals (to a point where it's almost innocent)

First of all I really hope you didn't take that literally.
Second, I thought it was perfectly executed in how ridiculously retarded and fitting it was as a storytelling tool.

To compare it with Thornton's character, which was just plain retarded and almost ruined the season.

But the main reason why 2 >1 is that 1 is too similar to the film.
The film is already pretty much perfect, so trying to emulate it so drastically made the season feel sloppy.
Season 2 had a lot more attitude since it didn't pretend to be something it wasn't. It had more attitude while still keeping the overall feel of the setting.

>>82383003
aliens were perfectly executed and make sense in the thematic context of the season if you think about it for more than 3 seconds

i mean for shit's sake, the entire last episode basically drops it into your lap

Yeah, exactly. The second season has a more strong and unique identity where the first season feels like a remix of the movie. That s the reason why I avoided the series: A remix was really not that necessary while the movie was already perfect.
>>82383330
Name a more perfect, peculiar, tight season that this. Not saying that fargo is the best show ever but the season is without a doubt one of the GOAT. It's a matter of personal taste too

I really like how they're not just doing the same thing every season. S3 is obviously the slowest and most initmate one so it's hard to judge early. It could be the best one after the season is over.

>>82381799
This turned a 10/10 all the way down to a 9.5, it was just too dumb.

I love the last conversation between Lou and Peggy in the car. You can see exactly how Lou went about raising Molly after seeing what a loon the resentment of gender roles turned Peggy into. Peggy taking the birth control when Ed thought she wanted a baby was so fucked up.

>>82384501
Rome is fucking trash plus the guy you are responding at is not the one who ranked the seasons. Rome it's popular here because is not popular enough to be called a pleb show. Plus /tv/ talking about pleb and patrician is just a fuking joke, litteraly the worst board on this site

Season 1 was a solid distillation of the film. I think people expected more of the same out of 2, and hoped for more of the same out of 3.

Reminder that shills are trying to keep the Emperor's New Clothes from disappearing because Hawley's hackery is currently being laid bare for those who couldn't pick up on it before so they're trying to keep the focus on the previous seasons. Even though they're just as bad.

>>82386144
Depends. They are a bit too different to compare, except how they both are very visual shows.
Fargo s2 is without a doubt better than Hannibal S1&3, tho. But if it's better than Hannibal S2 I think is more up to the individual.

>>82381792

that's where you're wrong kiddo, season 1 didn't even get good until half way through, before then it was on the level of mr robot or hannibal or something.

>>82385837
>Season 1 was a solid distillation of the film
But it wasn't. The biggest strength of the film was how incredibly grounded it was. The opening spiel about it being a true story is so effective because the movie feels real. None of it feels exaggerated or condensed to fit a narrative.

The show doesn't do this. It's very much a thriller, the characters are all more exaggerated, and Malvo in particular is essentially magic.

Season 1 is closer to the movie than Season 2 yes, but it still doesn't distill the film. It makes very very big tonal changes. That's part of why I prefer Season 2, it wasn't trying to be like the film, it knew what it wanted to be and was that.

Season 1 does have the best first episode out of all three seasons, but if I'm perfectly honest that almost hurt the season for me, that was also the best episode of the season, and it rarely lived up to the compelling tension of that episode.

>>82386622
I don't know how you can be so right about season one and not see that season two is just more of the same inane bullshit.

Have you seen the film? Watch it first. And if you happen to have shitty taste and don't like the film, you can skip the show. The tone and humour is very similar through all of it.

>>82386872
Not OP and I've only watched a couple of seasons. But I thought it was really good. Not the greatest show ever, but a very solid show with good characters that has lots of depth to them.
Easily worth a watch.

>>82386459
Watched S1 ep1 with a friend and laughed suspiciously hard at that scene. I don't think he caught on though.

Fucking good. It's my favorite show on tv right now. But it's really not for everyone, is slow, bleak and really really subtle most of the time. If you get hooked it will not dissapoint you.
>How good is The Americans based on non-premium tv standards?
It's the missing link between non premium and premium.
Give it a try, just remember: First season is not indicative of what the show will become one season later.

>>82383335
yeah and that was unnecessary

>>82381729
Season 2 of Fargo is so fucking good, probably my favorite single season of TV ever.

>>82387644
I agree. Easily one of my favorite things to ever air on tv.

wow I was so invested in that subplot I'm so glad they explained the whole backstory

>>82381799
couldn't that be just a strawman or something? i dont remember any direct connection to it, only Wrench and Numbers

the only good thing about season 1 was billy bob. everyone else was terrible. martin freeman can't act worth a shit and he plays the same character in everything, the fat cop woman was extremely annoying, and colin hanks is even more annoying than the fat cop.

>>82386710
let me tell two
>screenshot not named by the played movie
>oversized control bar

>>82389077
Now my memory is very fuzzy regarding the details:

The entire season is a recollection of the events as told by the main cop. The aliens are a tool used by him to explain things he doesn't have an answer to (like why the dude stood in the middle of the road and got killed by the couple, or what happened during the final shoot-out). He probably got the idea from the father in law (or was it his dad? Old dude who made up some alien language for fun) and all "UFO sightings" that happened in Minnesota during the 70's.

>>82389387
I've never heard that one before. Was there even was a framing device to set up any unreliable narrator? How does that explain what we are shown outside Lou's pov?

>>82389523
Now I really don't remember enough to be able to keep up any proper discussion regarding this.
But things shown outside Lou's POV could be explained by someone else telling him about it, and him filling in the gaps with "lol aliens".
And I'm really not sure regarding the unreliable narrator part. It's nothing I recall, but I might have missed it early on.

>>82389387
>The entire season is a recollection of the events as told by the main cop
Nope. There's no indication of this and a lot of shit happens that Lou has no way of knowing.

>>82387266
He was a sociopath who killed people for a living and was only ever appreciated by Bear. The racism just fed his hatred for others and he figured he could do better running the show himself.

Lmao this show is fucking gay and for little kids . It's the same as big bang theory

>>82389952
I really need to watch it again. But doesn't the season start with the narrator pulling out a book about a bunch of famous Midwestern crimes?

>>82389387
no, it was just a literal metaphor about two things:

>all the crimes surrounding the massacre during this season were so foreign and alien to upstanding lou and dad cop it was as if aliens were involved, and turns out they were
think sherriff bell not understanding the new kind of crime in No Country for Old Men

and more importantly

>when people can't communicate, they get violent and ruin everything
the aliens came down to examine earth, but they also didnt understand why humans were killing each other with such animalistic frenzy. Also in the final episode, dadcop shows us his weird universal language because he wants everyone to be able to communicate so there is no more violence like what happened at the motel
