Episode 4 was really good. Episode 1 & 2 were just alright and 3 was trash.

The running theme of this season is that everything has been a total fuck up. Nothing has gone as planned and trying to make sense of it just makes it worse.

This will continue until the last 15 minutes of the finale, and even then it probably won't tie absolutely everything up in a nice little package for you, you're going to have to do some critical thinking.

If you're not prepared for that experience, best tune into CW now.

Fargo is the literal definition of insincerity. Noah Hawley fills the show with quirk and allusions but none of it means anything, it's all just in service of itself rather than aiming for any greater truth. A show like the Leftovers is weird because it grapples with the profound, a show like Twin Peaks is weird because David Lynch has a singular and compelling vision. Fargo is 'quirky' because Noah Hawley tries to insert 'quirky' elements, and that is all Fargo is; a series of disconnected, occasionally visually arresting, elements that add up to pretty much nothing.

The reason that this season seems like a step down is that at least previous seasons had well cast characters with the occasional decent scene. All this season has is Ewan McGregor hamming it up and Carrie Coon being woefully miscast. However this is mostly beside the point, Fargo was never 'good', it just tricked you into thinking it was and now we are seeing behind the curtain.

>The running theme of this season is that everything has been a total fuck up.

It is not. It is all about technology and how sneaky it can be on the hands of humans. The robot story on the 3rd episode was a clear allusion and pay attention to how Gloria interacts with sensors and how Varga conquers Stussy's operation by using it. Even Hawley told Varga is an embodiment of cyber attacks going on all around the internet.

Gloria's indifference to technology will help her get Varga. Varga is not different from the humans who wounded the robot from third episode.

Don't forget the communication tirade from season 2. This season will be about techno stuff and international crime but main characters are so bad I can't focus. Only merit is Thewlis. Rest are all so mediocre.

>>
>>82685233

Op here.

He told Stussy to be rich but look poor. So since being fat was considered as being wealthy historically, he eats like a rich man but doesn't gain weigh so he can look skinny.

Also in the story that was mentioned in the beginning, wolf eats duck but devours him.

But I still can't get what purpose does Varga have in the plot so far or how a parking lot king who cucked his own brother to seize their fortune be so stupid to take a million dollar from people they don't even know. It is a bigger mystery to me lol.
>>
3 was the only worthwhile episode in the season so far. The rest is Fargo 4, playing out exactly as you know it should.

The interesting thing though is how close Gloria is to figuring it out just by episode 5. It has potential to really go somewhere new in the five episodes after

>It has potential to really go somewhere new in the five episodes after

The scene where Varga ask if Mew can be a problem for them made me think she will do some big stuff. She is possibly the Hanzee of this season.

>But I still can't get what purpose does Varga have in the plot so far or how a parking lot king who cucked his own brother to seize their fortune be so stupid to take a million dollar from people they don't even know.

I think it goes back to Varga's monologue about money not being wealth. It's the illusion of success that drove the Parking Lot brother to take out such a big loan. It's like when people buy a house they can't really afford just so they can feel like a winner.
>>

Both show how he jumps at short-term gains without thinking about long-term consequences. Either that, or he's just an idiot who had one dumb bit of luck.

The Handmaid's Tale

It's not that nothing happens, it's that nothing particulary memorable happens.
I like the slow buildup, I liked that they had cop woman investigating a bad lead(interesting break from earlier seasons), all good in concept but bad in execution. Up until episode 4 it was just things happening on screen, with creators wanking themselves off.
At least the cast is great.
>>
>>82685809
I guess that's true, but in all three previous versions the police are very slow to actually catch on, and usually only do so after the worst of the crimes are committed (woodchipper, second wife killed, gang massacre). Here Gloria has the connection between the dead man, the junkie and the Stussys. All she needs is something to concretely tie Ray to the crime and she can close her case. Obviously the Varga thing is different but it still seems like the plot is moving much faster than it usually does

I also think they hit the emotional beats saved for the end of the story in episode 3. Her stepdad is the wimpy guy who falls into crime and destroys his life and others, she's the cop who can only shake her head after the fact and ask why this has to happen. Getting that out of the way now in a fresh context further opens up the show to do something new in it's finale

The music-based intro was kinographiè, you pleb.

For about three seconds, I thought he might be the level-headed straight man desperately trying to contain the fallout from Emmit's tomfoolery.
>>
>>82685520
>>The interesting thing though is how close Gloria is to figuring it out just by episode 5. It has potential to really go somewhere new in the five episodes after

This is the case in the other series too though. Every one has made me think about halfway through "what can happen now?". Then it all goes crazy in a good way.

what the fuck are you saying. stop trying to equate characters that are nothing alike. the only thing malvo and hanzee shared was they were extremely good killers and were the final villains of the season, and the only thing varga shares with them is he is the villain this season. nothing else

lou could not be more different from any character this season if he tried

>Season 1 is usually most people's least favorite

For a series premiere it was pretty good, but season 2 really surprised me. This one is...kind of odd. The tone feels a lot different. It doesn't feel as lighthearted or as cartoony. It just feels dark.
>>
>>82686621

Exactly.

>>82687150
>It doesn't feel as lighthearted or as cartoony. It just feels dark.

Nigga how is this darker than Season 2? There's a lot more comedy if anything.
>>
>>82684177
I've never even seen the show, and four episodes in and already there's a whole story dedicated to backstory? That sounds pretty great to me.
>>
>>82687283
season 2 had the blomquists being quirky, sonny and the lawyer, dodd and hanzee at the beginning (remember the whole ears cut off guy), "youre a shit cop, you know that?" not to mention the whole exchange in the butcher shop where they all kept saying okay then

it was definitely more lighthearted at the beginning. this season i struggle to think of very many lighthearted moments. its been pretty bleak and more than anything you feel uneasy because you dont know what the fuck is going on
>>
>>82687467
Well, I disagree. Anyway, all the stuff with Sy has been funny, as well as a bunch of little jokes, like Emmit hiding behind a glass wall.
>>
>>82685809
>season 2: Rye going after a judge for a business
>ends up in a massacre involving a crime family, Kansas mafia, law enforcement and a young married couple
That happened after literally the first episode.
>>
I'm only watching because of Sy. Everything else especially the whole ham fisted OMG COP LADY IS INVISIBLE TO TECHNOLOGY bit is getting really fucking tiresome.
