FX's FARGO Discussion Thread

They are not saving the day.


Is Malvo even fucking real?
 
Lesters world fell apart around him.
 
A++ series. Sad that it's done.. Admittedly though the middle episodes were not as strong as the first and last few, but damn what a show.
 
Lester finally ended up where he was supposed to.

I really hope they do another season or something. I want more info on the Sioux Falls incident and also the background story for Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench.
 
Awesome show.
Lester kind of did himself in liek Walter White did, even ended up leading to big bad Malvo's demise.
Crazy past year+ in terms of great tv dramas for me. Fargo, Breaking Bad, The Killing season 3, and True Detective have all been absolute top of the heap.

How? They killed off the best characters, and pretty much all of the other interesting characters leaving only the bland ones alive. I thought the ending was pretty lame, but I won't let that bother me as it was a great series overall.
 
Kind of disappointed Malvo was brought own by dumb luck. And Lester falling through the ice was a bit ridiculous. Still a great final, though. Also, the show could've used a cameo from an original cast member. How epic would have a Buscemi or Stomare appearance been. Oh, we'll. Overall, 9/10.
 
Didn't love Lester's death but i get it, he was on thin ice the whole time and he finally fell through.
 
The ending was too cookie cutter with the good enjoying triumph.

Gus breaks into Malvo's home and executes him, is that a legal mailman move?

This series was entertaining, but had way too many moments where you needed to completely suspend reality. These moments were so prevalent it felt like poor writing to push the story onward, covering for a lack of writing talent. The study of chance notwithstanding, the glaring hole is camera surveillance that was completely disregarded (minus the one shot of Malvo, to provide a face of the enemy). All characters were able to do their ill deeds in public as if it were 1941.

In any case, soon there will be the thread "Who would win: Omar Little, Lorne Malvo or Anton Chigurh?".

Note that Malvo suffered a compound fracture in the left leg, a homage to Chigurh I assume.

Hence why I said to go back in time.

Exactly, how he went was a really fitting way for him to go.

I'm glad Molly, Gus and the family survived and Odenkirk too I guess.
 
wouldve liked a little less of a happy ending.

i also hate how they just dropped mr wrench from the show even though he had a clear motive to go after malvo


otherwise a really good show

8.5/10

It was personal by that point. Gus clearly feared for his family's safety, so he was willing to go to drastic lengths to ensure that, eg he didn't even attempt to hold Malvo captive until police arrived; he shot him multiple times without batting an eye. Bottom line is he didn't see himself as a mailman, police officer, etc that day, but as a man protecting his family.
 
Look forward to next season. They're going the True Detective route.
 
Mr Wrench as well as Chazz being innocent are loose ends that I would have liked to see patched up. But all in all show was stellar.
