FARGO: anyone catch the new episode?
- Thread starter Jimmy McGill
- Start date
Not sure where the other Fargo thread went? Anyway, keeps getting better and better. Back to being the best show on TV
Yea, I wish I would have waited but now I'm committed.
Currently watching Fargo, Reacher and Monarch on a weekly basis.. Fargo definitely the best of the 3 but all are good.
I kind of like it. I like the anticipation and I like having something to look forward to.

You want to know how I know this season is great? I keep stopping to see how much time is left. I feel like I'm constantly holding my breath and on edge multiple times per episode. It's like I need to stop for a second, collect myself, and dive back in.
100% this. I could not imagine binge watching this season all in one go. I would be mentally exhausted.

How good is the show?
Have never watched the series but this season looks very good, going off the trailer of course.

Roy walking for 15 minutes just so we can listen to a Toxic cover.
But ya, real good episode.
So all the seasons take place in the same universe, but not the same timeline. Some seasons have characters that will appear in other seasons. You don't need to watch them in order to enjoy. You can watch season 5, and then go back and watch season 1-4.
We just started getting into the series when the new season dropped (at the recommendation of my kid). We've watched all 4 full seasons and are now caught up with 5. I recommend watching in order even if they call them standalone. There are so many great Easter eggs that link the series. And the whole Fargo ethos is so present in every season. Zero character overlap but completely of the same cloth. Highly recommended.
I think the show is great. All of the seasons have been good, some better than others. After finishing this season, I feel like I should go back and watch some of the first ones.
We started 5 before watching 1-4. I think I would have preferred to just start at 1 and go chronologically. It doesn't matter much but in a few instances it matters hugely (end of S4 for instance).

Puppets and Lindas abound in an episode that slows down the pace while raising the stakes.

This season needs more of Ole Munch. They may have jumped the shark making him 500 years old, but he's very interesting.
Seasons 1 and 2 are awesome
Seasons 3 and 4 are good/fine
Season 5 might be my favorite

So good. Ole Munch is wonderful. Can't wait for the finale
I loved this weeks episode. Ole Munch is such a chaotic neutral. A walking old testament.
Damn, I need to get to work on this. My oldest step child is actually hanging out with me watching the Rams-Lions game rather than video games. I'm never going to give up this precious time
Trust me...those times have passed. No pics of his 20 yr old g.f.
Not sure what talk you're thinking about, but "the talk" is about properly posting pics of his 20 year old gf.
Great episode. And now, with the season finale looming on Wednesday, my 6 month Hulu trial expires today.
****ing fantastic. That last scene was incredible. The orange pop had me rolling lol
Great season!
Great season!
Good finale, the final scene in the the house with Munch was hilarious and intense all at the same time. The cinematography of the entire season was incredible.
Really enjoying season 5. Could have skipped the part where Dot runs off and finds Roy’s first wife in the “Linda” cult for abused women. Almost quit the season with the wooden puppets, but am glad I trudged through it. After the puppets, the (no pic) wife quit watching and I can’t pull her back in. So I’m going through the remainder of the season alone.
Loved what happened to Gator and the way Roy left it at the end of this last episode.

It was a dream sequence so it didn't really bother me.
