    Malvo and Varga

    Can we talk for sec about how Malvo and Varga both disappear in a literally miraculous fashion when put into a corner? In the pilot Malvo is in the basement after killing the police chief, yet is described in the script as having disappeared like a ghost when Molly and others look for him. When Varga is cornered in that elevator by the incomparable Swango, he shows fear. It is maybe the most gratifying thing in the entire season. And yet when the door opens he is gone. His overcoat and clothes remain like a snake that shed it's skin. I found both of these moments a bit frustrating at the time of viewing and as artistic metaphors upon reflection. But we see that Malvo is a man. Flesh and blood. When he is killed. Both of these men seem to be simultaneously representative of the evil nature that can be found in mankind and human beings that interact with the world and suffer it's consequences.

    A man watches the S5 finale.

    A man can’t get a decent haircut but he has a good tailor. Fascinating character and redemption.

    Nikki Swango

    I wonder about her motivations. She was clearly the brains of the outfit. Do you think she really loved him? Or was she playing a long game?

    We know how things turned out for Molly, what about Noreen? I wish we had seen her in season one.

    Season 2

    Was always my favorite season...... but i re watched the entire season yesterday..... and it's even better than I remembered .

    -The homage to America in the late 70's was masterful. felt like i went back in time.

    -Bear is a super underrated character in the Fargo universe.

    -Knowing Mike Milligans backstory makes everything so much cooler

    -that final speech that Lou gives to Peggy on thier way back to Minnesota in the police car. About how men and the "burden" we all share is actually a "privilege"..... made me tear up hard.

    -Karl freaking Weathers

    _HANZEE FUCKING DENT.

    just needed to post to show my appreciation for this absolute masterclass season of TV.

    Series Finale prediction

    I think when the show finally wraps up it’ll tie together so that the main protagonist all along has been the deaf hitman.

    What do you think is the meaning behind Molly's glove story in the Fargo Season 1 finale?

    Hello,

    In the final episode of Fargo's first season, Molly shares a brief story about a lost glove. This scene piqued my interest, and I'm curious about what exactly she was trying to convey and the deeper meanings it might hold.

    How do you interpret this story? Do you think it reflects specific themes or character developments in the series?

    Looking forward to your thoughts!

    Shared Stars: Connections Between Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Fargo

    Hi everyone! After rewatching the first season and parts of the second season of “Fargo,” I couldn’t help but notice some familiar faces from “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.” It’s intriguing to see actors like Bob Odenkirk, Jesse Plemons, and Julie Ann Emery appear across these favorite series of mine. This overlap got me thinking – are there more actors who have roles in both the Breaking Bad universe and “Fargo”?

    Furthermore, are there any notable similarities in how these series were produced? I’m curious if “Fargo” served as any kind of inspiration for “Breaking Bad” or “Better Call Saul,” or if there was ever an intention for BB/BCS to be a continuation of sorts from “Fargo.” What do you guys think? Have you noticed any other connections or is it just a coincidence with the casting?

    Sorry if repost: Why did they cast Jason Swartzman as an Italian?

    Halfway through the fourth season so no spoilers please. The other Italian cast are native speakers, good actors, and seem like gangsters. They are convincing. Jason is not. He's acting like he's in one of his Wes Anderson flicks.

    Varga

    Season three, I have always wondered what Varga was really doing. He clearly had backing from someone. I wonder if he was a freelance contractor who secured funding for different entities. I mean, clandestine services of various countries, political groups around the world who needed capital to fund a coup, things like that. That’s why he was so confident in the end that someone would order Burgle to release him.

    Just finished S4. First time.

    Don’t skip the finale credits!!!

    I’m not sure if I missed things earlier but that was a big reveal to me. I was pretty high for most of it though. I don’t want to post spoilers. I’m not sure how you deal with that on this sub.

    I’m on episode 7

    I just want to know if this storyline plot plays out for all 5 seasons. I hope they don’t drag him getting away with this for 5 seasons

    Was the air horn scene from season 5 pilot the best piece of comedy this show ever delivered??

    When the store guy comes out from behind the counter to blow the horn and the kidnapper kills him right away without even looking. I had to pause to recover from the laughing, that was so fucking funny, like why would he even blow an air horn in that situation.

    Great actress because of the way she made me feel.

    But I think I might be the only one that really hated this character like she really made my blood boil. Her face was so punchable and that voice and tone she used was like nails on a chalk board. That stupid look she had on her face when she didn’t get her way was annoying. I was just yelling let the lawyers do their damn job!

    When she got those 3-4 warnings to leave it alone and she just didn’t I was so happy at the thought when she went to Lester’s house something was gonna happen to her. But then Lester’s grimy ass got my boy together. And then here goes her super soft husband stepping it up. Malvo in my opinion was the only one I was rooting for. Just my opinion.

    I was today years old

    When I learned that season 4 and 5 came out. I have been waiting since the delay with covid and thought they just canceled the show. I guess I have been living under a rock. I was watching on Netflix and a new season never got announced, but they took it off Netflix and I didn’t know. I am from Europe by the way.

    So excited to binge watch the two seasons this weekend so I guess there’s a silver lining here. ❤️

    In what many consider to be a lackluster season, Gaetano was the best part and MVP of the season.

    Salvatore Esposito is an amazing actor (watch Gomorrah with subs not dubs). He stole every scene in Fargo he was in. His speech about Il Duce, his general intensity was the only redeeming performance in season 4. I wish he would get cast in more American productions.

    Rewatching the series…

    And I just remembered what a haunting villain V.M. Varga was. He’s in the upper echelon of film/tv bad guys.

    He’s creepy, cunning, and reprehensible. Reminds me of Heath Ledger’s Joker in some ways. We have no idea how far his influence reaches, or what his true motives are.

    Inside the washer

    Why does Molly take the back panel off the washer to look around inside it? There's nothing to indicate the need for that. There's no obvious tampering, there are no blood drops to indicate that there could be anything of interest inside it. I understand it's suspenseful that she goes looking for what we all know is the hammer, but I didn't catch any reason why she would think that there's anything in it.
