When the kitchen brothers were in the woods running and shooting at everything that came near, Hanzee came and killed Wayne, but why did he let Gale live?

I'm only 28. Can someone please explain what this means and why it's such a nuisance to everyone on the show? lol I know some states have an attendant that pumps their gas for them but that doesn't really explain this comment? Was it something to do with the physical pumps themselves? The gas? The cost? I don't get it lol

The only scandia I found on google maps is on the Wisconsin border across the entire state.

First that comes to mind is the moment when Gator gets his eyes cut out. It made me realize that he’s really just a boy who grew up trapped under the influence of his dad. The way he reacts too was just hard to watch.

Fan art drawn by me of one of my all-time favorite moments from season 1. Enjoy!

\"See you soon.\"

As the title says. When it comes to storylines/backstory, motives and methods, dynamics with the other characters and so on, who is Fargo's most interesting/compelling character?

Given I've got some trauma around a bad experience with a dentist, but yeah. Guy getting decapitated slowly by a chain or seeing LeFay's caved-in skulll? Not pleasant but I don't really flinch. Varga pulls out his pick? I gotta look away and just the thought makes me squirm.

I’m sort of new here but have been a long time Fargo fan. I’ve seen a couple people mention the possibility of a season 6 but after finishing season five I got the pretty strong impression that season 5 was supposed to be the final season.

I suppose my main reason for this is the narrative thread of “the eternal evil thing”. Each season has its own villain that feels almost like an embodiment of evil almost larger than an individual person. Obviously Lorne Malvo from season 1, the constant turmoil of the Gerhardt family, V. M. Varga feels like a straight up vampire, Oraetta is described as an angel of death, and then season 5’s Ole Munch. However, Ole Munch is really the only villain of to be “redeemed” or at least turned into an anti-hero. To me this gave an impression that he’s sort of a bookend to the evil of Malvo from the first season. Munch, who is an immortal sin eater, an embodiment of evil more literally than any other villain of the show, has a family dinner with the protagonist and experiences love. One some level that felt like a natural conclusion to the show for me. That after five seasons of watching these embodiments of eternal evil, the most immortal and eternal evil villain is able to trauma bond with an abuse victim at a Midwest family dinner.

Something about it feels like such a strong natural conclusion to the story that it seemed obvious to me that season 5 would be the end. However it seems that there’s people here holding out hope for a season six so I was curious as to whether or not people had seen that confirmed anywhere.

Been going back and rewatching the series, and I forgot how good the score got in this season. Some of my absolute favorite pieces of music from the whole series

In almost every season of Fargo, the child characters are so so dumbed down. Molly in Season 2 was mid, but Gloria Burgle's son was intolerable. What 13 year old is gonna act so cold and always say "he wasn't really my grandpa" whenever the MURDER of Ennis Stussy was mentioned.

Ethelrida was such a bot in S4 idk how anybody could root for her. Her timidness was just unwatchable, she didn't even have an arc. The only good child actor here was Satchel (aka. Mike Milligan).

And Scotty, oh my god Scotty made me so mad. It wasn't even funny seeing her cheer on her mom as she beating kidnappers to death. What child is just going to smile and laugh as she witnesses random violence in her own home???

​

So what do you guys think? Can Hawley just not write kids or is it just bad luck with the actors.

I might have a unique perspective here because I watched the Fargo seasons out of order. We started with season 5 and went backwards. So I saw Lou for the first time in season 2. I remember being surprised he retired from being a police officer and now owned/operated a diner. In season 2 it seemed like being a police officer was his life. If course he had to deal with incompetence and corruption - which may have disillusioned him - you see that in season 2.

In season 1 it is mentioned that he got shot in the line of duty. Do you think he retired because of that injury? Like he couldn't do his job anymore? Or was it more that he was a single parent to Molly at that time and realized he could have died and left her an orphan? Maybe a combination of the two?

Edit: I wondered if there was more to it than just an injury when he was offering Molly the hostess position at the diner because it's safer. Also he tries to stay out of her work and not express too many opinions - but you can tell her doesn't seem to have very high regard for the police establishment anymore.

finally got into watching Fargo and it's genuinely one of the greatest shows of all time. still have to add a LOT more headshots, might make a tier list or some sort of graph with em who knows :)) enjoy!

Just finished Season 4, and I didn't think it was as bad as people have suggested. It definitely could have been stronger with some minor tweaks and it was certainly the weakest of the four seasons I've seen so far, but overall it's a solid season of television.

However, one thing that I really didn't get was Jason Schwartzman's performance. Why was he acting and talking like a hipster dude from the 21st century? Everyone else is playing characters that talk and act like they're in 1950, but he approached his role with a uniquely 21st century feel. Even though he's Jewish he could totally pass as Italian based on looks alone, but I just didn't buy him as Italian for one second because he was acting like a typical American dude from 2024 (Edit: Thank you to the ten people who have told me that he's half Jewish and half Italian lol, my point still stands that he looks the part, but doesn't act it)

Am I alone in this?

I may have been high at the end but I don’t understand why people loved season 2 so much. I was confused what the purpose of the grandpa cop making a fake language was and how did that relate to the space ship? What am I missing? Okay everyone dies. That’s fine. But what was the point of the sign language and the aliens?

I watched seasons 1, 2, 3 & 5 (skipped 4 since I had a hard time feeling engaged with 3, and apparently 4 is the worst). BUT WOW I loved 1 & 2, and 5 was my absolutely favorite!!! Fellow Fargo lovers, what series should I watch now? I always have a lot of trouble picking out shows and giving things a chance. I hate starting a show just to stop watching it a few episodes in because it kinda sucks. I like good TV, not so much a “mindless” streamer. What’s really good on Netflix or Hulu right now that I should give a try after watching this amazing series!??

What’s your favorite episode from each season and why? For me it’s:

Season 1: episode 6 (seeing malvos plan come together was great)

Season 2: episode 8 (one of the greatest episodes of television ever)

Season 3: episode 8 (this was close because I like the weird robot episode but I thought the bowling alley was clever)

Season 4: episode 9 (loved seeing more of Mike Milligans back story)

Season 5: episode 7 (haven’t finished the season yet but this episode was so good it inspired this whole post)

I saw S5 when it came out and I enjoyed it but I’ve never watched the other seasons so no spoilers about s3 and s4. S1 was good but S2 was much better than s1 because I liked the intrigues within the Gerhardt family and I wish it was more focus on that than Peggy and Ed’s naive stupidly. It was so unrealistic when Peggy drove home with Rye, but, it was a tv show.

Gerhard brothers was very typical brothers who was big egomaniac centrical and wanted the throne (Otto was king and Floyd was queen). I think Bear actually was more dangerous than Dodd, he was analytic and made quick decisions. His son was important to him but I don’t think he was that synaptic. Dodd was more outgoing not maybe not so analytic. He was very “mommy!” In a scene when they sat in the backseat. Bear doesn’t give any feeling in that scene.

He (Dodd) was misogynistic against his daughter but if he had more analysis I think he would understand Simone could be used by the enemy.

But the whole family was toxic, Floyd had one question to Simone and it was “are you with us?” When she could ask her how she was up to. It was a cultural of honour there. Rye gave Simone across to his apartment, maybe had Simone a good relation with him. The scene when they buried Otto, Simone stared at Ryes grave.

What about Charlie? Bear wanted him to study but he wanted to show up like a bad guy just his dad an uncle. Easy.

I can give more over analysis haha but I like it. I also read an interesting older thread about Simone on Reddit when I Google it.

Take in count the psychic aspect, the intelligence, the height, weight,etc.

So now that Hulu is on Disney + I expected Fargo to be added because it’s an FX show and FX is owned by Disney so when I went to check only season 5 is there does anyone know if or when they will be adding the rest

I watched s1 when it aired, and thought it was fine. Until everyone was raving about s5 I hadn't watched any more. I loved s5 so I went back and watched s2. I was surprised to see the connections between s1 and s2 near the end and had to look up a couple things I'd forgotten. I assumed they were all completely separate stories until that point and feel like I might be missing out as I barely remember s1. Is there more of this going forward? Should I rewatch s1 before s3?

Every single season has one piece of the puzzle that matches with the others. Does season 5 follow that tradition? Does season 5 connect with a real world story and plot element in 1,2,3,4 or Fargo movie?

• SEASON 1: Fargo (movie) - S1: Money under the snow scraper

• SEASON 2: S1 - S2: molly is one of the mains /lou is one of the mains: father/son connection

• SEASON 3: s3 - s1 Nikki and Wes, deaf hitman from s1

• SEASON 4: s4 - s2 - mike milgan / young mike Milligan

• season 5: ???

are both filming here in Dallas this week for an upcoming series called ‘Landman’ and I’m excited to see which evil prevails
