this is probably one of the best shows on tv today. Seasons 1 and 3 are right there for probably the greatest seasons of tv ever made.

just started season 5, this season seems to be the closest to touching the original fargo with nods to the main characters husband being a used car salesman, the home invasion scene, the rich parents, i cant wait to see what they do with it

i havent seen the new episodes yet but just from the trailer that stuff got me interested, this show has played a lot with references and echoes of coen movies but just the peek through the glass door felt jarring (on purpose) in how obvious it was

Fargo Tier List

God Tier
Season 1 - nuff said. lester and malvo ftw. unbeatable

Great Tier
Movie - the classic that inspired everything else :worship:

Season 4 - underrated imo. gang war and evil nurse are cool. supernatural poo poo got too gay

Good Tier
Season 3 - vargas is epic and carries the season all by himself. not that memorable otherwise tbh. supernatural poo poo got too gay. wrench poo poo was gay. cartoon episode was cool. good ending

Alright Tier
Season 2 - was well on track to being god tier but those last few episodes are so loving bad they drag the whole thing down lmao. this is where the supernatural poo poo is at its gayest. the writer cant find the right balance anymore like he did in season 1


thanks for the epic sig el spider

I haven't seen any of the new episodes but I remember reading the showrunner saying that the new season was going to be 'the funniest one yet' which means that this is likely where it's gonna fall off.

Haven't watched 4 but agreed. I still think Malvo is the best villain compared to Varga though.

I've seen the film and series 1, 2, and 3 op and I'd rank em in that order. Varga was way too hammy, and the supernatural stuff was just badly aping the Coen bros. (as opposed to imitating them well with the plagues in season 1)

waiting till s5 is done before I start it

5 is just kind of meandering all over not sure where i stand with it versus the first couple episodes.

I like this season, but the only standouts (in a negative way) are the FBI agents. I can't tell if it's the writing or the actors but something about them is not hitting for me
