Re: Fargo
I also love that finales of shows with Carrie Coon always end up posing serious questions to the audience that are designed never to be answered.

Re: Fargo
Well, I really liked it. Seems to be a little controversial in terms of reception.
This season took the "this is a true story," nature-of-truth stuff that had always been lodged inside the Fargo canon, and put it to the forefront. Liked the integration of "timely" subject matters like social media and the ALTERNATE FACTS/FAKE NEWS political hysteria.
Plus, it had Ray Wise as a supernatural obscure Biblical character. How could I dislike the season after that?

Anyway, I very much liked Season 2 overall. I don't think it's clean of quoting the Coens either, if that's an issue for some like INH, but the acting, pace, absurdness and style are all there. And the music - augh. It has a sort of jump-the-shark moment that even I can't really fully defend (although it's not exactly unintegrated in the lore, either), but otherwise it was real smooth start to finish. One of Patrick Wilson's finest roles. I found myself not fully empathising with Dunst's role (which is strange, because this factor usually isn't relevant for me to appreciate something), but towards the late part of the season, she also steamrolls it.
The music was one of the best parts of the show!Spoiler: show

Re: Fargo
Watch season two, I prefer it to season one, which is still good, but leans a bit too much on the original movie for me to really love it.
