Review of Fargo

Fargo (2014–2024)
9/10
It'd be 10/10 were it not for S4...

I can honestly say that I watch seasons 1-3 every month, back to back, each time finding something new to either laugh at or which has me making a new connection. Billy Bob Thornton has to be the most likeable baddie I've ever seen, and I was gutted that he didn't feature in subsequent seasons. I hope he's brought back for S5, Mr Hawley! I cannot fault the acting in any of the seasons, and the way the Brit actors have conquered the Minnesotan accent makes me proud of my countrymen! Each plot is intricately woven, and I do find that each subsequent viewing helps understand the story better. I've become a total Fargo geek, picking up on continuity errors and boring my husband with my observations. They don't detract from the programmes in any way, though. Comedic genius comes from both Billy Bob and Jeffrey Donovan, the latter being a hateful mysoginist whose downfall at the hands of a woman has me laughing out loud - something I very rarely do at any type of film bar Dumb & Dumber! Utterly brilliant. I just hope that S4 shapes up soon, as it's terribly slow - and I really do miss the Minnesotan ambience.
