(Season 1) Very entertaining but usually corny and hackneyed. Its folksiness rings Hollywood-hollow, and its "respect for the dead" is a mealy-mouthed non sequitur even moreso than it was in the Coens' film. Storylines earlier in the season end as red herrings and when all is said and done feel like wheel-spinning flab. The show looks meticulous and pristine, like something from Fincher or Kubrick, yet somehow sterile, hasty and cheap.

Though I am not a huge fan of true-crime TV series this one is exceptional. The production is fun, interesting and the cast of characters is quite entertaining. I confess to thoroughly enjoying this. It has plenty of action and intrigue. I also really like the light-hearted way they progress through the story. I've only watched season 1 at this point but I can highly recommend it. Also, I seriously doubt that any of it actually happened. Worthwhile. Sadly, successive seasons get worse and worse.

(re-rank after season 2) The first season is a masterpiece. Thornton as Lorne Malvo is one of the best characters of all time and it's really well written and interesting throughout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_JPbtK-IWQ The second season is clearly a bit inferior with the penultimate ep having one of the biggest copouts in television history. The Indian was amazing and Dunst's speech condemning feminism in finale was perfect. Second season was a bit inconsistent but overall good

A pretty decent Coen cover band that gets most of the surface details spot-on while missing a lot of what's under the hood. Billy Bob's villain felt like kind of a half-assed Anton Chigurh. The snowy settings are lovely though.

This is absolutely one of the best things I have ever watched. Each season, you think how they are gonna top this and somehow the next season comes up even better. There is this pure creativity in it, that pervades to all aspects of the series and lifts the acting, direction, the scenario... I watched them with awe, respect and this pure joy of watching storytelling at its best. I am looking forward to the fourth season (I generally wait to finish the series to comment, but I couldn't resist :)

I had major hesitations on a series based on the great film, but this was actually pretty damn good. Not so much a retelling, as loosely based on the same events while capturing the odd sort of mood of the world these people live in. Updating rating after season 2 which is batshit crazy and fucking brilliant. UPDATE - season 3 was a bit of a dip but not terrible, but season 4 soared back up. Chris Rock was a bit out of his element at times but the supporting cast was amazing.

Most comedy-dramas flip-flop between them awkwardly but this manages to keep both in the air, creating a really enjoyable absurd/dreamy atmosphere. Not usually a fan of Thornton but thought he was pretty good too. S2 is a less interesting not-in-the-old-west Western, OK though.

Season 1: A good adaptation anchored by Billy Bob who's awesome as the super-menacing oddball Lorne Malvo. Season 2: Flat-out amazing! This goes for the Coen-level production values, the fantastic characters (with performances to match) and the strong and unpredictable writing which matches the best of QT's work (style and music choices: ditto). In short, it's really cool.

(Review for Seasons 1-3) I'm still on the fence about whether I like it or not. I'd probably dislike it more but it's just so much fun seeing my hometown finally get the big-budget Hollywood treatment. Watching someone get murdered behind the grocery store near my old apartment feels surreal, and it's a lot of fun trying to recognize landmarks and filming locations every episode. Is this how Angelinos, New Yorkers and Vancouverites feel all the time?

Just amazing stuff, completely divorced from the old movie. A lot of people seem to be stumbling at that link, but if you consider this it's entirely own thing, I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy it.

In an era where every show is forcing "realism" down the throats of their audiences, Fargo is perfectly comfortably existing as a fantastical parable and outshining every other drama on TV. It also brilliantly establishes its town; unlike True Detective, which has to stick to occult police work, Fargo sets the groundwork for "horrific events in mundane settings." The possibilities are endless. And if subsequent seasons live up to the first, the quality is endless too.

Season 1 - Suffers the same ill of True Detective: mannerism, trying hard to be cinematic without the Coens talent behind the camera. Every series strength must be in the script, so i don't care if this Fargo has good production value: the script is corny, the noir story that in the movie it's simply solid and flawless and reality-grounded here is the opposite, a complicated mess of plotholes and comic characters. But it's well made, sometimes funny, and Thornton it's great. EDIT Season 2 - same

I always felt the Coen brand of 'quirk' was essentially rooted in naturalism, of course it varies from movie to movie but with Fargo that was especially the case. This however is just full of absurd quirky characters that bear not the slightest resemblance to actual human beings like serial killer dentists who go around offering Faustian deals to strangers for no reason. In what universe is this how you do Coen worship?

Very slick, modernized crime tales. -- Series 1 is better than the film, with a better protagonist and antagonist. The pacing could be faster. -- Series 2 is underwhelming and slow. The "shiny" optics don't fit well; most of the characters are unlikable or annoying. Not worth the time. -- I liked series 3 a lot more; it has uneven parts, but overall a great feeling of a "tightening noose". -- Series 4 delivers top-quality, great-looking entertainment.

Has its moments of greatness, but for the most part it's a comfy watch that isn't hard to digest, but is fun to watch. It makes sense to extend the town and its characters from the movie, and this show makes the right amount of references to the movie (that is, not many). The characters are great, especially Nyquaard and Malvo, I wish they shared more scenes with each other. UPDATE: season 2 is fucking amazing

S05E01 bumps this series up from a 76 to "100". At top of my list with "No Country for Old Men", "GodFathers", and "Duck Amuck"? You betcha, Hon! This is the best Coen-ish show since they sleazed their way into our young hearts with "Blood Simple" What an *intense* roller-coaster I've been on for the last 45 minutes. I had to take a break, write the first draft of a review. What The Fuck have they kept for the end? Edit: Oh my poor heart - that was Pure AmazeBalls :-) P.S. S05E02: his wife‽

Mid-way through season 3 I stopped caring. Ended up "watching" it while surfing the Net, with it playing in the background. Deleted the last couple of episodes without watching them. I think I'm done with the series.

The false advertisement really irks me - it's not actually based on true events. Other than that, it's an all right crime show, easily top 10. The casting is brilliant and the twists are well designed. I enjoyed season 1 the most, then 4, 2 and least - 3. [Spoiler] Throughout the seasons, there were some flat-out weird decisions - aliens and an immortal, biblical man. It ruined the immersion for me and had significant influence on pivotal plot points and that warrants my low score.

Season 4 might be a bit of a letdown but that's only because seasons 1, 3, and 5 could easily be ranked among the best television of their respective years... and Season 2 is far and away the strongest. Fargo is one hell of an anthology series thanks to excellent direction, a sharp script, darkly funny humor, and wall-to-wall great acting.

Still a quality anthology series overall, even if some seasons are better than others.

1st season was a masterpiece. Every single episode was ridiculously enjoyable: 9/10. I had HUGE expectations for season 2, but unfortunately, it was a big let down for me, especially on the casting level: 7/10. Season 3 was a clear improvement in the right direction, with solid performances from the great Carrie Coon: 8/10. Season 4 was probably the worst one. An overall lazy writing of scripts and dialogues. Poor and forced Italian accents, and the cherry on the top, a very predictable finale.

First four seasons are pretty solid but not loving the 5th. Partially because of the unbelievably dopey husband (which also turned me off the movie, as I recall), partially because it ventures deep into culture war territory, partially because it gets... supernatural? I don't even know what's doing on there; makes it impossible to know what the rules of the universe are.
