Latest series still watchable, just not great.

Struggled with Chris Rock in the head of the family role. Doesn't seem to carry the same presence on screen as Glynn Turman.

Ben Wishaw was fine though and while some episodes seem flat, going no where, just that bit off, I liked how it all tied up.
It was better than S3, for sure. Could have been great.

Re-watched S2 recently... just loved:

Two of my favourite characters in any programme/film ever. The butcher's life just goes from bad to worse whilst having to deal with his wife as well. Poor bloke, really felt for him. She had lots of laugh out loud moments. I especially giggled like an idiot during the log cabin scene near the end. "Just stop doing that!!"

Fat Damon had a good outcome, he's been with Kirsten Dunst ever since.

This one has had mixed reviews to put it bluntly but I'll give it a go.

Not sure there will be a fifth series as Noah Hawley is currently writing yet another Star Trek film but also the new Alien TV series.

I watched the Season 4, Episode 1 last night and I will admit that I found it difficult to concentrate on. It just didn't seem to be grabbing me like the previous seasons. I'm going to carry on with it but I have a feeling I'm not going to enjoy it as much as the previous seasons.

It gets going by E3, there are some quite inspired Fargo-esque moments. It's worth sticking with.

Good start. I like the switches between serious and funny, like the heart attack/fart/gunshot scene.

(Are we spoiler tagging things as it's new?)

Same here, gave up midway through episode 2.
Just not grabbing me at all.

Exactly the same as me. I attempted to struggle through episode 2 but just found no part of it interesting. Turned it off after about twenty minutes and probably won't bother again with it. It's a shame because I thoroughly enjoyed the first three seasons, but this one just isn't anywhere near as good.

It’s odd, as I enjoyed the first episode so much, I’ve watched it twice.

The 3rd series was a slow starter for me.

At the end of each episode it states the whole series is available on All 4 on demand.
If I look on my phone the episodes are there, but on Sky Q they are not. Can someone have a look on their Sky and see if they show up on their planner

No they don't show up on Sky Q, even if you search around on the All4 app on SkyQ, yet they do show up on All 4 if you go online.

Same situation for seasons 1 to 3.

Sticking with it so far, has its moments. Like the Mormon US Marshall, "That's more blasphemy than I've heard before.... and I've been to Cleveland![

rofl Perhaps you had to be there.

Plus the childish amusement at the Syrup of Itaca Apple pie farts mid robbery.

Love Fargo, movie and the series, really enjoying this series, I love the way it’s filmed, the cinematography, lighting and camera tracking are so iconic to Fargo hey.
We’re heading to Minnesota & North Dakota September this year (restrictions permitting) as part of a road trip to tick off some of the iconic places. Plus a few others like Joliet Prison from the Blues Brothers, Field of Dreams, the “future” birthplace of James T Kirk and Prince’s Paisley Park. Should have happened last year but we know how that ended.

Just finished series 3. David Thewlis was superb.
