What is Jon Hamm's plan, exactly? The Feds showed up to investigate his little cult, and he just told them to frick off. He can't out-gun the federal government, and he's not going to get them off his back unless he plays Nice. How does he plan to avoid ending up dead or in prison?
i'm not sure he has one, he seems pathologically obsessed with Dot/Nadine
Loved season 1 and 2. Loved season 3 until the time skip, then thought it shit the bed. Didn't bother with season 4 because it looked like shit. Is it worth watching this season so far? I want old Fargo back so bad.
so far it's not as good as the first 3 seasons, but it's a fun exciting watch
It's original from Jeff Russo.
It'll be a while before we can listen to it in full. That butthole always takes forever to release Fargo Soundtracks.
I think year 3 came out like 10 months after the kast episode aired. And it ended up not having the song I even wanted to hear.
He's still a great composer though
the whole thing's on YouTube, dummy. personally, i really dig the guitar arrangement of the main theme https://youtu.be/2gCHZFwwtFw?si=9kKjYAyeldS8adJU
>Cinemaphile acts like Fargo is doomed slop >reddit thinks its the second coming 2deep4u
I'll just continue to enjoy the show by myself.
i'm with you, anon, idk why Cinemaphile is seething so hard over it. maybe it's because i'm not American and am not as attuned to political allusions (which i'm not really seeing here, but there you are)
i've never paid much attention to the soundtrack, but i have to say he knocked it out of the park with the original main theme back in 2014. it's beautiful and perfectly evocative of the movie theme, while still being it's own thing
I'm loving it. It's really a step up after season 4 was a giant piece of shit.
he was talking to that old guy about gun shipments and the feds watching them
I'm pretty sure they're going for a Waco situation though how that dovetails with Dot's storyline, I do not know
>How does he plan to avoid ending up dead or in prison?
You have seen the previous seasons, why would you think the guy would have a plan to survive? Every season is about a dude with no plan that ends up dying
The third episode is really bad. Like really really bad. It is moronic. >good black cop doesn't stop the young kid cop from stealing evidence >doesn't tell the evidence clerk >500 year old soulless killer arc
wtf is going on. The aliens thing in season 3 was weird but only lasted a few seconds.

this too, he is so fricked it is like irrevocable and he can't do anything.
Dot's husband has like an ounce of testosterone, what the frick
how is he okay with all those dangerous booby traps? He seems like a legal law abiding citizen but he should know booby traps are illegal. That home isn't safe for the daughter.

Hollywood hack is bored of writing a crime show and wants to do other genres. Instead of admitting he's the wrong man for the job, he takes the job and then changes the project to his own tastes. Creating a garbage show for no one.
Hawley writes books, did Legion, and is doing an Alien show.
His version of Fargo has barely changed since season 1. Small brained morons just think if it doesn't look like the coen film then it's not "really fargo"
The show was never like the movie. morons back in 2014 cried because it wasnt enough like it too
You said he didn't want to make fargo anymore so he's changing it.
When in reality he makes tons of other things, and has no obligation to keep making Fargo. 3 was going to be the last season, and he said FX told him he could always make more if he wanted to. So this is what he wants to do with Fargo.

You guys are midwits, you realize that right? The constrictions of working within a specific genre forces writers to be more creative and create better stories. If you can have aliens fly in and save the day, there is no incentive to write anything that makes sense, you can just do whatever and nothing matters.

we don't yet know anything about Munch, you're jumping to premature conclusions, for all we know he's just an insane descendant of the sin-eater. as for the UFO thing that was an allusion to "The Man Who Wasn't There" (which you clearly haven't seen). building around references to the Coens filmography is a key element of TV Fargo
season 4 has been a disaster for fargo threads on Cinemaphile, every post is just Black folk this, Black folk that, you can't discuss the show anymore not saying that the Black person season was good

this bothered the shit out of me. there's no excuse for it.
Only series issue I've had with this season so far.
I can only assume he wants to keep it on down low until he know he can take him down for good.
Just seems like getting caught stealing evidence would he a huge problem for a cop.
I thought it was kind of weird and far-fetched, but I'm interested. Daisy Dalmergue as the up tight rich mother was especially hammy. Also the proud boy cop guy is pretty cringe, hope he gets killed off.
Is the husband's family linked to the guy trying to do some kind of libertarian terrorism?
I expected we'd be told more about his family but I guess it's just what it is
Reddit figured it out. Jon Hamm is

except for juno's painfully fake accent it's fun to watch. leagues better than the Black shit we had before. also bonus points for john hamm's pierced nipples and that dude from stranger things landing another job.
They want people to think the law already exists. Like you just assume this "waiting period" is a thing. It's not. This is how israelites trick you into thinking something is normal.
well they do a good job
it would be crazy if any dumbass could load up on guns, considering all the people going around trying to kill people in the show
See how the israelites anti gun tricks work? This idiot supports a law that doesn't exist and wishes it does. Other idiots just assumes the law already exists and won't oppose if it's too become law. Disgusting.

oh no changing laws to what sounds reasonable the west has fallen
How am I the first person to point out to this moron that they live in Minnesota, not North Dakota?
https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/waiting-periods-in-minnesota/
Dot's backstory is getting a little drawn out for my taste. She immediately focuses on a Benelli M4, so she obviously knows her guns, but has little practical knowledge given that she doesn't know about the waiting period. That supports my theory that her time with Roy's cult exposed her to firearms but in an illegal way.
yeah, they adopt it as a phase while trying to figure out who they are. You think goth chicks are goth before puberty too? No, they are wholesome normal little girls.
Are you too moronic to realize the fricking point of that character?
She's a girl who likes boy things. In 2019. Its a frick you to troons.
It's the same as Gloria's gay homewrecker husband in season 3. Hawley isn't the best writer, but Cinemaphile acts like he isn't based and every progressive selfish character he writes doesn't get their comeuppance.
The heros of the show are always Straight, traditional cops.
To anyone who hasn't watched the last episode, don't.
Wait till next week.
It ends in an absolute blueballs cliffhanger, so it's just torture to watch it now.
I like it so far. Not saying much because there has been nothing to watch for all of 2023. I’m rooting for Hamm’s character, 2nd place would go to the nihilist.
Loved season 1 and 2. Loved season 3 until the time skip, then thought it shit the bed. Didn't bother with season 4 because it looked like shit. Is it worth watching this season so far? I want old Fargo back so bad.
It's literally the opposite of old Fargo which is not surprising. Set in 2019 and some dumb ass supernatural shit and god awful writing and characters. Skip on it, anon. I wasted two hours on those first two episodes. Was so bad
At the end of the forest episode theres a pretty short timeskip, maybe 5 or 6 months from the end of 2010 to early 2011, and then theres a 5 year timeskip to 2016 in the last portion of the last episode, when Wrench kills Emmit and Gloria becomes DHS to catch Varga
Wrench will be back again. I guarantee it.
Also, IMDB lists Jason Schwartzman as a narrator in a future episode. Probably like Martin Freeman in season 2 and Billy Bob in Season 3.
How is he anything like Trump? He's a corrupt midwest sheriff with an obsession with Christian marital roles despite not exhibiting any other Christian values.
I don't get your comparison at all.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Jason Leigh is his foil as the restrained, blue-blood establishment type who is equally sinister but only in private. The political coding isn’t subtle at all anon. I think you’re the one that might be a bit dim.
Season 1 was a fluke of popularity. Something about Fargo drives it so far underground that even the livethreads only get like 100 replies from the same 15 people.
I'd be suprised if anyone on this board would know the name Roy Tillman a year from now like how everyone knows Lorne Malvo.
can somebody remind me name of that music in the picrel moment, around 30 minute mark in the last episode?

Fargo is the first season and that's it. The rest is goyslop.
Season 2 was starting good until they focused on that moronic couple.
All the rest is garbage.

I have. And I'm enjoying it because I think there's interesting problems that I'd like to see the resolutions to.
I didn't really enjoy season 4 because i didnt really care about the characters or problems.
I just wanted to know why you don't like it, like specifically.
damn, thats juno temple? shes a completely different person, she mustve gotten the buccal fat thing
she is very lean in the face now, reminds me of vera farminga now
why are any of you watching this dead show after season 4. I haven't yelled obscenities at my screen since the end of true detective season 2 until hate watching season 4 of fargo, was actually pretty obvious that whatever they had they lost and decided to fill the void with maybe the most offensive writing in a series without a guy in spandex in it. go watch a marvel show or something at least it doesnt pretend to be something its not
season 1 = season 2 = season 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> season 4
Because season 4 was obviously a mistake. An attempt at something interesting that got lost in it's own messaging. It went for subtlety, which hawley is not good at. Then they hired fricking Chris Rock as the lead, and covid fricked filming at the very end.
It was a mis-step, a fluke. The first 3 seasons bought more than enough credit for me to give it another chance. And so far I like it.
The white people are either depicted as cartoonishly violent or completely feckless. You could tell this season was written by people who think living in Glendale offers them profound insight into class and racial structure.
It's because she's not even the lead.
This season is about Dot and Roy.
You're a fricking idiot if you think Indira and Witt are supposed to be protagonists on the level of Molly, Lou, or Gloria.
she could play mexican i guess, when they said indian i just assumed they meant ameri-indian being mid-west yokels and all. is her glenn howerton wannabee husband dead yet?

It's only Television I still watch. Last time I was on Cinemaphile was when season 4 was airing.
I did watch Better Call Saul but I talked to irl people about that.
No. Just because it's the worst season doesn't mean it unwatchable. There are many good parts of the show. But if you dont like it at all just skip to episode 9 and be done with it.
4 isn't as terrible as they say but it's still a huge mess. Every time you think it's actually going someone something ruins it. There are some good characters and some shitty ones, and the social commentary is extremely forced and awkward as usual. I'd say skip, but it's up to you.
OH GOD YES, save yourself the time and skip this absolute shit pile of a season. It subtracts from the series as a whole. Do not I repeat do not listen to anyone saying you should. Everything takes a fantastic nose dive in terms of quality whatever the reasons might be for that you shouldn't have to suffer or at least waste your time because of that. A few redeemable scenes doesn't make up for the trite they decided to put on screen > just watch it for two or three good scenes, trust me it'll be worth the 10 hours of shit you gotta put up with
fair and bout the same here for the first 3 seasons, and I'm sure I'll reluctantly give 4 another fair shake if only for Oraetta but I do not abide by it being "not that bad". It was truly awful

I'm just about to finish rewatching season 1 and I can't think of anyone more despicable than Lester Nygaard. Excluding the "force of nature" killers there isn't a civilian in the 3 seasons that deserve everything that's coming to them and more.
To be fair Jerry and Lester may seem similar, but their characters are very different. Jerry stays a weak and pathetic weasel until the bitter end, dragged kicking and screaming into custody. While Malvo awakened something in Lester that really changed or just made him realize what he was capable of. Thats why I'm not very happy with Lester's supposed death. I get the whole "thin ice" thing, but I just feel it doesn't serve his arc very well.
Lester goes from 0 to 100 too quickly imo.
First awful thing he does is kill his wife, second awful thing is frame is brother.
The first thing is understandable given how much of a nagging b***h she is in the first episode.
But he then frames his brother without much provocation and in the timeline of the season, it's within a week at the most.
>But he then frames his brother without much provocation and in the timeline of the season, it's within a week at the most.
You're deaf, dumb, or blind.
There are numerous scenes where his brother treats him like crap and it's easily implied that's been his whole life (like every other aspect of his life where he is a pushover).
If you were on the line for life in prison and you could easily frame the second worst person in your life, it's not a far fetched.
Meeting Malvo was a watershed moment in Lester's life. What if you're right, and they're wrong? Killing Pearl taught Lester that the "rules" don't need to apply to him. Everything else is downhill.
With that said, I find every Fargo season switches gears around episode 6/7 and gets noticeably worse so season 5 could easily reach the bottom by the end.
you know they will humiliate the husband for having a normal job and not acting like a monkey. while the story is about le strong woman vs chad like every tv show targeting foids
Americans are absolutely obsessed with current event politics. There is not a single show that doesn't invoke it, with this show included.
It's not about whether you support it or not, it's a total drag to watch.
This season would be good otherwise.
>Jon Hamm is le evil because he thinks men and women have specific roles in life >Hmmm, he's coming across too sympathetically, lets make him do increasingly outrageous things

kino, it was a stroke of genius to have Ray Wise on for this
It's not that farfetched in a show with god, ghosts, and UFOs, but I don't see why people are jumping to this conclusion. The sin eater from 500 years ago could be his ancestor.
Well every other time something supernatural happened on the show, it could have plausibly been something the in-universe characters just misinterpreted. Here, though, the "500 years ago" bit was presented to the audience, not any of the other characters in the story. I guess it could be something Munch believes about himself, even if it isn't true
It could be, but it just seems kind of weird to include it in the narrative if that's the case. And, of course, no one looks the same as their ancestors 20 generations back

That's a comedy though.

I also assumed it was his ancestor. I mean, it might not even be, but if it is it’s kind of a comedic thing for them to look exactly the same and Fargo is comedic

hard to definitely tell, it's only 3 episodes, but it seems like it has acceptable amount of preachiness for a [current year]
This is a true MEW's ass. The buttocks depicted were shot in Canada in 2017. At the request of Riley, the name has been changed to PUTA. Out of respect for Ewan McGregor, the rest has been photographed exactly as it occurred.
The whole episode was a set-up that could've been done in 10 minutes. They really stretched it out so I'm guessing they don't have a whole lot to say. Gotta pad out their basic plot to 10 episodes somehow.
Just started it last night, pretty mediocre so far. Anyone takings bets if they will bring up George floyd this season?
why wasn't Hamm in the first episode?
that was last season
He was, briefly, in Juno Temple's thoughts
The show is set in 2019
Would it make you seethe?
I dropped it after the boss b***h scene where she bullied that banker guy or whatever into restructuring
What is Jon Hamm's plan, exactly? The Feds showed up to investigate his little cult, and he just told them to frick off. He can't out-gun the federal government, and he's not going to get them off his back unless he plays Nice. How does he plan to avoid ending up dead or in prison?
He plans to get killed by his strong wyfe. No need to worry about feds.

I didn't say that, I said he didn't want to make a crime show anymore, so he turned Fargo into science fiction in season 2, and then has been throwing whatever random bullshit in that he wanted to since, when Fargo started out as a crime show. There was nothing supernatual in seaosn 1.
>There was nothing supernatual in seaosn 1.
Oh, buddy. I'm sorry. I didn't realize i was talking to an idiot.
>There was nothing supernatual in seaosn 1.
anon, i...
bad cgi doesnt count
>God killing Stavros Milo's first born son with fish isn't supernatural
Or the devil incarnate who can vanish instantaneously from a basement with no exits.
i prefer Varga's vanishing, with all the previous wolf allusions it has a shapeshifter/werewolf vibe (sheds his skin and disappears)
>bro, there was stuff implied to be mysterious and strange and that's totally the same as having aliens appear on screen, literal immortals depicted, and just straight up supernatural and religious events take place in the later seasons
You guys are midwits, you realize that right? The constrictions of working within a specific genre forces writers to be more creative and create better stories. If you can have aliens fly in and save the day, there is no incentive to write anything that makes sense, you can just do whatever and nothing matters.
Have you watched any coen brothers movies? Any? The ones the show inspired by? It might be called Fargo but it pulls just as much from all of their other films, that include supernatural elements like The Man Who Wasn't There, A Simple Man, and Raising Arizona.
I meant A Serious Man, by the way.
>it's called Fargo but it's actually ripping off other stuff from totally different genres,
Yeah, that's not a good thing. You're an idiot.
Then frick off Black person this is a fargo thread.
It's supposed to sound fake. The closed captions say "stops fake accent" when she tells off Lorraine and "resumes fake accent" when she's done.
That doesn't imply it's supposed to sound fake, are you moronic per chance
>are you moronic per chance
He is, but he doesn't know it.
Im kinda autistic for this show. So ive watched interviews where certain characters are instructed to have realistic accents (specifically ive heard Dave Foley say this for his character)
While some characters are supposed to have extremely cartoonish accents.
The "borrowing" from other Coen movies is much more conspicuous and lazy this time around. The opening of Ep2 is literally just No Country For Old Men practically beat for beat.
which part, Hamm telling a wife to blow her husband regularly or the stable scene? just because they sneak in a line about him being sheriff for 20 years doesn't make it "literally just NCFOM practically beat for beat". learn the meaning of words, anon
there were plenty of good monologues in S2 and S3 (Lou's Nam speech, Emmett confession, Varga stuff, etc.), but maybe it's just the actors selling it
we don't yet know anything about Munch, you're jumping to premature conclusions, for all we know he's just an insane descendant of the sin-eater. as for the UFO thing that was an allusion to "The Man Who Wasn't There" (which you clearly haven't seen). building around references to the Coens filmography is a key element of TV Fargo
based and thank you. frick, Malvo's b***h was hot
speaking of ASM, i was thinking the sin-eater bit from this episode is a reference to the dibbuk story
Munch is actually a chicken.
It felt very similar. Im glad they didnt do a similar framing device and put that scene as a cold open like in the movie. Hard cutting to it in the middle of episode 3 was a nice suprise.
well he should have fricking stopped at 3 and done one of the many other things that he is not at all known for
Maybe. I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm just telling you the truth.
I am also telling the truth and only time will tell who will walk through the door in 5 minutes
>You are Yuri Gurka
>good black cop doesn't stop the young kid cop from stealing evidence
>doesn't tell the evidence clerk
this bothered the shit out of me. there's no excuse for it.
Only series issue I've had with this season so far.
I can only assume he wants to keep it on down low until he know he can take him down for good.
Just seems like getting caught stealing evidence would he a huge problem for a cop.
That and the fact that if the confrontation got physical, he's already hobbled and wouldn't be able to fight back effectively.
after 4, and 3 and 2, I'm gonna wait for the season to finish until I *maybe* watch another Fargo
Dot's husband has like an ounce of testosterone, what the frick
Its an example of a weak man who wont stand up to his toxic mother and therefore cannot or wont see that his wife is a psychopath.
Notice the emasculated betamale is the only white male depicted as a good person in the show
Indira's police buddy who went with her to Lorraines in the last episode was a respectable old white guy.
Yeah but I meant of the primary ensemble
>hulu fx
literally what the frick
For me? Its bittorrent
I thought it was kind of weird and far-fetched, but I'm interested. Daisy Dalmergue as the up tight rich mother was especially hammy. Also the proud boy cop guy is pretty cringe, hope he gets killed off.
Is the husband's family linked to the guy trying to do some kind of libertarian terrorism?
I expected we'd be told more about his family but I guess it's just what it is
I keep thinking i'm hearing the shining theme. is there something to it?
Reddit figured it out. Jon Hamm is
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marduk
The hitman is a sin eater
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin-eater
Also he is
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu%C5%A1%E1%B8%ABu%C5%A1%C5%A1u
is a sin-eater
eating sin in a flashback
>>name is Ole Munch
BRAVO VINCE
>Reddit figured it out
go back
except for juno's painfully fake accent it's fun to watch. leagues better than the Black shit we had before. also bonus points for john hamm's pierced nipples and that dude from stranger things landing another job.
No, that's just typical israeli anti gun propaganda.
>>in danger of being attacked at home
to buy guns to defend herself
because of waiting periods
>>has to buy pepper spray instead
how is this israeliteis anti gun propaganda again you fricking mouthbreathing troglodyte?
Uhh because...uhh i watch so much slop that eveything must be slop...uuh?? Right?
They want people to think the law already exists. Like you just assume this "waiting period" is a thing. It's not. This is how israelites trick you into thinking something is normal.
fricks sake take your meds shizo
You are dumber than a box of Black folk. Betcha drink tap water to wash down your seed oils. Idiot.
bet you guzzle gypsy cum and eat homeless ass on weekends just for fun
well they do a good job
it would be crazy if any dumbass could load up on guns, considering all the people going around trying to kill people in the show
See how the israelites anti gun tricks work? This idiot supports a law that doesn't exist and wishes it does. Other idiots just assumes the law already exists and won't oppose if it's too become law. Disgusting.
oh no changing laws to what sounds reasonable the west has fallen
Shall not be infringed!
How am I the first person to point out to this moron that they live in Minnesota, not North Dakota?
https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/waiting-periods-in-minnesota/
Durr the show is called fargo so it must be entirely set in North Dakota hurr
>juno's painfully fake accent
No one I've said this too irl agrees and insists she's amazing. It's frustrating.
I like it so far, although I’m getting tired of the Anton Chigurh knockoffs every season
Malvo was nothing like him
>i don't understand what knockoff means
Caught the guy who actually thinks this season is watchable. God damn awful taste in TV
Dot's backstory is getting a little drawn out for my taste. She immediately focuses on a Benelli M4, so she obviously knows her guns, but has little practical knowledge given that she doesn't know about the waiting period. That supports my theory that her time with Roy's cult exposed her to firearms but in an illegal way.
Interesting point
everyone treats the trans kid as a little boy.
also either they should've casted a younger kid or this character is moronic/autistic
She's just a fricking tomboy, I thought you morons loved that shit
Tomboys before puberty is just wrong.
post puberty tomboys don't appear out of nowhere
yeah, they adopt it as a phase while trying to figure out who they are. You think goth chicks are goth before puberty too? No, they are wholesome normal little girls.
Are you too moronic to realize the fricking point of that character?
She's a girl who likes boy things. In 2019. Its a frick you to troons.
It's the same as Gloria's gay homewrecker husband in season 3. Hawley isn't the best writer, but Cinemaphile acts like he isn't based and every progressive selfish character he writes doesn't get their comeuppance.
The heros of the show are always Straight, traditional cops.
It'd shit what are you talking about? Is this bait?
To anyone who hasn't watched the last episode, don't.
Wait till next week.
It ends in an absolute blueballs cliffhanger, so it's just torture to watch it now.
I'm dropping it. All the characters are shit and there's no classic grounded murder mystery. The cops are shit too
I feel the same on all accounts, but I'm bored enough to continue wasting time on it.
I'm binging Succession instead and will binge a whole other shows too instead of this shit
Juno Temple is a disgusting no talent c**t. Not watching.
what the frick happened to juno temple? she looks like she died five years ago. worst case of hitting the wall i have ever witnessed
She needs to get some more iron in her diet.
I like it so far. Not saying much because there has been nothing to watch for all of 2023. I’m rooting for Hamm’s character, 2nd place would go to the nihilist.
Loved season 1 and 2. Loved season 3 until the time skip, then thought it shit the bed. Didn't bother with season 4 because it looked like shit. Is it worth watching this season so far? I want old Fargo back so bad.
It's literally the opposite of old Fargo which is not surprising. Set in 2019 and some dumb ass supernatural shit and god awful writing and characters. Skip on it, anon. I wasted two hours on those first two episodes. Was so bad
Wait, when was the time skip in 3? I just watched it last month and can’t recall it.
At the end of the forest episode theres a pretty short timeskip, maybe 5 or 6 months from the end of 2010 to early 2011, and then theres a 5 year timeskip to 2016 in the last portion of the last episode, when Wrench kills Emmit and Gloria becomes DHS to catch Varga
So who'll be the inevitable character from a previous season this time?
Wrench will be back again. I guarantee it.
Also, IMDB lists Jason Schwartzman as a narrator in a future episode. Probably like Martin Freeman in season 2 and Billy Bob in Season 3.
>decide you want to add a trump avatar to your acclaimed anthology crime series
>cast an actor best known for playing composed, well-spoken men
why
You're not as smart as you think you are, that's all I'll say.
What part of my characterization do you take issue with exactly
How is he anything like Trump? He's a corrupt midwest sheriff with an obsession with Christian marital roles despite not exhibiting any other Christian values.
I don't get your comparison at all.
>How is he anything like Trump?
loudmouth incompetent son
projects moral values but is actually debauched
law and order platform
hates federal government
remarried
obnoxious self-promoter
>people like me because I say what I think
Meanwhile, Jennifer Jason Leigh is his foil as the restrained, blue-blood establishment type who is equally sinister but only in private. The political coding isn’t subtle at all anon. I think you’re the one that might be a bit dim.
That just sounds like most politicians anon. I get what your saying. I just don't buy it as a Trump stand-in.
I feel like he's going to go down as Cinemaphile's new favorite "supposed villain who's too based for his own show"
Season 1 was a fluke of popularity. Something about Fargo drives it so far underground that even the livethreads only get like 100 replies from the same 15 people.
I'd be suprised if anyone on this board would know the name Roy Tillman a year from now like how everyone knows Lorne Malvo.
can somebody remind me name of that music in the picrel moment, around 30 minute mark in the last episode?
sound like from the shining or the thing, but i'm not sure
It's original from Jeff Russo.
It'll be a while before we can listen to it in full. That butthole always takes forever to release Fargo Soundtracks.
I think year 3 came out like 10 months after the kast episode aired. And it ended up not having the song I even wanted to hear.
He's still a great composer though
The verdict: Fargo writers have run out of ideas and running it into the ground at this point. It's laughable and pathetic
The verdict: an hero
Wouldn't give you or anyone the satisfaction
>Cinemaphile acts like Fargo is doomed slop
>reddit thinks its the second coming 2deep4u
I'll just continue to enjoy the show by myself.
Season 3 2 >Season 1>Season 5>>>>>>
4
Fargo is the first season and that's it. The rest is goyslop.
Season 2 was starting good until they focused on that moronic couple.
All the rest is garbage.
>thought JJL accent was horrible and cringe
>Turns out Hawley just told her to do her accent from The Hudsucker Proxy
So...is it bad or not?
oh shit, i completely forgot she was in THP. so that brings the number of actor intersections with the Coens filmography up to 2 (her and Thewlis), does it?
didn't like this bit either, the writing didn't flow
i was rewatching S3 recently and i had forgotten how stupendously pretty Carrie Coon is in it
bump, i'd like to see it too
extremely mid
the only interesting part is that this time it's the sheriff who invites the violence
do they think the audience is double extra large moronic, or are they proud of this dialogue
Are you saying the whole monologue was moronic, or it's just redundant to say gatekeeper, followed by outside the walls?
the whole monologue obviously
A lot of the time the things she says are so awkward and dumb while trying to sound cool that I wonder if it's deliberate
monologues in general are always so stupid in this show because they're written by stupid people pretending to be smart people
I honestly just started skipped them, especially when a woman starts talking too long
>we need our stereotypical rich elite to come across as evil
>I know, lets write an entirely contrived monologue where she abuses the police out of nowhere
They can't help themselves.
He's literally me.
he looks like he burns local
good to see lex fridman in other things
I was shocked when I realized this is Joe Keery. Dude disappeared into the role of zoomer douche.
Pretty impressive of Hawley to manage making the bad guys of his show both the business tycoon WASP type of conservative AND the bible bashing from-my-cold-dead-hands type of conservative
Anybody know what that ceremony was in the Wales scenes?
sin eating
It’s still dogshit just not as bad as season 4. You’re just really dumb and easily entertained.
Agreed. The writers have no idea what they're doing anymore
Why do you think that?
Have you seen this fricking season so far ?
Fargo is officially done after this trash
I have. And I'm enjoying it because I think there's interesting problems that I'd like to see the resolutions to.
I didn't really enjoy season 4 because i didnt really care about the characters or problems.
I just wanted to know why you don't like it, like specifically.
I'm a homosexual and need a masculine white man to root after.
Fair enough.
So you only like season 2?
Then root for Agent Ja-Queen
I binged S1 to 3 and was all kino for the most part. This new season just isn't Fargo. It should be renamed to something different
that's what i thought last season and yet here we are
since I dont give a shit about this season, can someone tell me the qt on the left?
juno temple
she was qter when she was younger
damn, thats juno temple? shes a completely different person, she mustve gotten the buccal fat thing
she is very lean in the face now, reminds me of vera farminga now
why are any of you watching this dead show after season 4. I haven't yelled obscenities at my screen since the end of true detective season 2 until hate watching season 4 of fargo, was actually pretty obvious that whatever they had they lost and decided to fill the void with maybe the most offensive writing in a series without a guy in spandex in it. go watch a marvel show or something at least it doesnt pretend to be something its not
season 1 = season 2 = season 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> season 4
Because season 4 was obviously a mistake. An attempt at something interesting that got lost in it's own messaging. It went for subtlety, which hawley is not good at. Then they hired fricking Chris Rock as the lead, and covid fricked filming at the very end.
It was a mis-step, a fluke. The first 3 seasons bought more than enough credit for me to give it another chance. And so far I like it.
The white people are either depicted as cartoonishly violent or completely feckless. You could tell this season was written by people who think living in Glendale offers them profound insight into class and racial structure.
Here's your new fargo detective character
Wow, she's Indian. How progressive and diverse
>series known for having female cops as the lead has ....a female cop lead!!
She is the worst one yet
It's because she's not even the lead.
This season is about Dot and Roy.
You're a fricking idiot if you think Indira and Witt are supposed to be protagonists on the level of Molly, Lou, or Gloria.
When did I say she was a protagonist exactly ? I said she was the deputy/detective/cop character of the season and she's the worst one yet
She's the most frickable one yet though.
What are you a homo
don’t you have some Black folk shoes to lick Mr R*ddit
I didn't like season 4. I'm just not moronic
He literally critizised the fact that she was Indian, not a woman.
Go back to school and learn some reading comprehension.
Are indians seen as progressive? What agenda do they push in the United states? They have 0 political relevancy.
Thought it was supposed to be a Mexican
she could play mexican i guess, when they said indian i just assumed they meant ameri-indian being mid-west yokels and all. is her glenn howerton wannabee husband dead yet?
she cute though
I want Carrie Coon back
Frick her.. Selfish b***h.
she's into BWC
The story might not be amazing this season but i think all the actors are doing pretty good. The lawyer guy with the eypatch and gator especially
>lawyer guy with eyepatch
we could always use more dave foley
Nobody doing anything noteworthy expect Jjl is cringe incarnate but probably not her fault
I like the lawyer as well
Anyone have the Malvo elevator Asuka or Rei webm?
season 4 has been a disaster for fargo threads on Cinemaphile, every post is just Black folk this, Black folk that, you can't discuss the show anymore
not saying that the Black person season was good
Based. Thank you anon.
I didn't like season 4 for the obvious reasons, just like everyone else. But East/West is one of my favorite episodes of the entire show.
I'm on episode 2 about to give up. This shit is boring and gay as frick.
Reminder, if Cinemaphile hates something, it's actually good. Same blowback The Killer got. This board is full of brainlets.
I hate Blacked.com, now go take your contrarian ass over there and be a cuckold homosexual where you belong.
can't argue with the numbers
I miss them.
I hope we see wrench one more time
Nah The Killer is kino but this shit is just lame as frick
The Killer was pretty good
This season of Fargo is fricking moronic
The Killer had a fricking awful script
I need to rewatch the first 2 seasons. I'm glad they've kept this theme throughout the series.
>Conservatives are....le bad!
And you thought the last season was on the nose
Did you notice the protagonists are conservative, too?
Good goy.
It's a certain type of conservative
Soidad is not conservative
not everyone is obsessed with depicting you swine as they are on tv, it's just writing what's out there irl right now
Best show currently airing
It's only Television I still watch. Last time I was on Cinemaphile was when season 4 was airing.
I did watch Better Call Saul but I talked to irl people about that.
Just finished 3, should I just skip 4?
No. Just because it's the worst season doesn't mean it unwatchable. There are many good parts of the show. But if you dont like it at all just skip to episode 9 and be done with it.
4 isn't as terrible as they say but it's still a huge mess. Every time you think it's actually going someone something ruins it. There are some good characters and some shitty ones, and the social commentary is extremely forced and awkward as usual. I'd say skip, but it's up to you.
OH GOD YES, save yourself the time and skip this absolute shit pile of a season. It subtracts from the series as a whole. Do not I repeat do not listen to anyone saying you should. Everything takes a fantastic nose dive in terms of quality whatever the reasons might be for that you shouldn't have to suffer or at least waste your time because of that. A few redeemable scenes doesn't make up for the trite they decided to put on screen
> just watch it for two or three good scenes, trust me it'll be worth the 10 hours of shit you gotta put up with
I rewatched it leading up to season 5. Without having to wait a week between each episode it wasn't that bad.
just 4 or other seasons as well?
I've seen seasons 1-3 probably 5 times through each, so I didn't feel the need. I only watched season 4 on premier.
fair and bout the same here for the first 3 seasons, and I'm sure I'll reluctantly give 4 another fair shake if only for Oraetta but I do not abide by it being "not that bad". It was truly awful
I definitely rank it echelons below the first three seasons. I was just suprised it seemed better than I remember.
Oretta is the main highlight for sure. I also think Schwarzman is pretty good as an insufferable little guy.
Gaetano's death made me blow out my nose again, too
It makes me sad those scenes and character are bound to that season. Hell the scenes with hotel which has the feuding sisters was so surreal it was almost like i was watching a different show for while and then brought back down to the depths of shit int he next episode
Yeah. East/West is a great episode of television.
I really think the season was just a victim of shitty circumstances. Not an excuse. Just the reality.
I will probably rewatch it again in the future, too. Maybe ill just wait another 3 years.
I'll most likely join you in about 5 years and with a stiff drink
Watch it to witness "it's factual"
I'm just about to finish rewatching season 1 and I can't think of anyone more despicable than Lester Nygaard. Excluding the "force of nature" killers there isn't a civilian in the 3 seasons that deserve everything that's coming to them and more.
It is funny Hawley managed to do the Mr Chips/scarface transition in 10 episodes just as good as Vince did in 5 seasons with BB
Even better tbh
Hell they even beat the coens. Jerry Lundergaarde doesn't even come close. Different format from movie to series but still.
To be fair Jerry and Lester may seem similar, but their characters are very different. Jerry stays a weak and pathetic weasel until the bitter end, dragged kicking and screaming into custody. While Malvo awakened something in Lester that really changed or just made him realize what he was capable of. Thats why I'm not very happy with Lester's supposed death. I get the whole "thin ice" thing, but I just feel it doesn't serve his arc very well.
My god what a shit opinion
Lester goes from 0 to 100 too quickly imo.
First awful thing he does is kill his wife, second awful thing is frame is brother.
The first thing is understandable given how much of a nagging b***h she is in the first episode.
But he then frames his brother without much provocation and in the timeline of the season, it's within a week at the most.
>But he then frames his brother without much provocation and in the timeline of the season, it's within a week at the most.
You're deaf, dumb, or blind.
There are numerous scenes where his brother treats him like crap and it's easily implied that's been his whole life (like every other aspect of his life where he is a pushover).
If you were on the line for life in prison and you could easily frame the second worst person in your life, it's not a far fetched.
Watch this scene and tell me Chazz is in the wrong here.
Who said anything about anyone being right or wrong. You've completely missed the point.
Yeah, you're right.
Meeting Malvo was a watershed moment in Lester's life. What if you're right, and they're wrong? Killing Pearl taught Lester that the "rules" don't need to apply to him. Everything else is downhill.
I only watched the first two seasons.
Season 1 was mediocre and Season 2 was actually great.
How are the others?
3 is the best and 4 is the worst.
3 is great but it filters people because it plays around with the idea of what is "truth"?
3 > 5 (so far) > 2 > 1 > 4
With that said, I find every Fargo season switches gears around episode 6/7 and gets noticeably worse so season 5 could easily reach the bottom by the end.
I don't know what level of brain rot you have to be on to rank 1 so low. It was a perfectly written season with the best opening episode of all time.
It's great but I like the other seasons more.
It's definitely the best but incidentally i agree with him that it falls off in the second half
the first half is masterful
What was the point of the aliens?
pretty moronic so far but I will watch it
you know they will humiliate the husband for having a normal job and not acting like a monkey. while the story is about le strong woman vs chad like every tv show targeting foids
The only thing that bothers me about season 3 is how ridiculous they make Nina and the mute person
It's just a 500 year old welsh sin-eater, Ed, we gotta go!
>this is a true story
>guy was alive 500 years ago
why is this allowed?
munch is literally me
>I live here now.
>500 years earlier
I cackled. May be the funniest scene in the series
It was masterful. I watch this show with my grandfather and he laughed out loud.
Will we ever get the 1825 season?
Where can I torrent shows now? Im already paying for netflix and hbo im not about to pay for homosexual ass hulu
Or rutracker if you are a normalgay.
Americans are absolutely obsessed with current event politics. There is not a single show that doesn't invoke it, with this show included.
It's not about whether you support it or not, it's a total drag to watch.
This season would be good otherwise.
>Americans.
You mean israelites.
>Jon Hamm is le evil because he thinks men and women have specific roles in life
>Hmmm, he's coming across too sympathetically, lets make him do increasingly outrageous things
>enjoyed the Prodigy Smack My b***h Up sequence
>go to listen to the song again after the show
>find out they're changing the lyrics to be politically correct
They really want to ruin everything.
What are you even on about?
Lyrics are literally "Change my pitch up, smack my b***h up" and they are in the show.
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/the-prodigy-smack-my-lyrics-changed-b2454035.html
I want you to apologize right now.
anon..
What is with the nightmare before christmas references THEY'RE IN EVERY EPISODE ARGHHHHHH
She cute
She's got a nice body under them clothes.
used to now shes a spooky skeleton
Amazing how much more likable she is without the chav accent. Minnesota isn't even a good accent, but it's so much better than how she sounds in Ted Lasso
did they seriously insert a god damn immortal character
Every season has an element of the supernatural.
I know but at least season 1, malvo was not overtly the devil
Leland Palmer shows up in season 3 and kills a guy using ghosts.
I dunno. I can live with it.
oh no, I'm not complaining
>YURI?
>YOU ARE YURI GURKA, COSSACK OF THE PLAINS? GRANDCHILD OF THE WOLF'S HUNDRED?
>I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM HELGA ALBRECHT AND THE RABBI NACHMAN
kino, it was a stroke of genius to have Ray Wise on for this
It's not that farfetched in a show with god, ghosts, and UFOs, but I don't see why people are jumping to this conclusion. The sin eater from 500 years ago could be his ancestor.
Well every other time something supernatural happened on the show, it could have plausibly been something the in-universe characters just misinterpreted. Here, though, the "500 years ago" bit was presented to the audience, not any of the other characters in the story. I guess it could be something Munch believes about himself, even if it isn't true
Why couldn't it be his ancestor? Maybe his ancestor taking on sins doomed his entire bloodline?
It could be, but it just seems kind of weird to include it in the narrative if that's the case. And, of course, no one looks the same as their ancestors 20 generations back
>And, of course, no one looks the same as their ancestors 20 generations back
Yet movies and television do this all the time.
I honestly can't think of a lot of examples
Back to the Future, where every ancestor looks exactly the same at every time period.
You're taking it at face value when the reality it's just there to make things easy for audiences to understand.
That's a comedy though. Like, I get it, but if they didn't want you to think it's exactly the same guy, it would have been really easy for him to slip in a line about his ancestors immigrating from Wales, or have the past guy missing a finger or something, or just not introduce him as he's participating in a death-themed magical ritual. The audience is obviously supposed to think it's the same guy
I also assumed it was his ancestor. I mean, it might not even be, but if it is it’s kind of a comedic thing for them to look exactly the same and Fargo is comedic
that's my thinking too atm, i feel like it's a reference to the opening to A Serious Man (which according to some interpretations shows how Larry's ancestors got cursed, resulting in his present situation)
>And, of course, no one looks the same as their ancestors 20 generations back
that's just pedantic, anon, it's a pretty common narrative device to have the ancestors of a character played by the same actor to highlight the connexion
>name jon hamm
>doesn't hamm it up
Shit name. He should give nic cage tier performances with that name
what season are we even up to? last i remember was PUTA
Five seasons in and they still can't improve on season 1 LOL
I can't be the only one who noticed that FX has fricking godawful sound? Really compressed and tinny.
Maybe try not watching it in your submarine?
Anyone notice how JJL's performance changed between the first and second episodes? She was laying on the voice a lot thicker in the pilot.
Shit is this finally out? I'm in it. I'm a cop. Have fun guessing.
That desk clerk?
What was the point of the scene again? Perhaps this was a reference to a certain US president showering with his underage daughter?
what's up with the swearing this season? i dont remember anyone saying frick in the previous seasons and now it's said casually by several characters
Is it woke or not?
I'd say so if you have to ask.

>every girl is some bossbitch
>white = bad black = good
>poor = good rick =evil
>crossdressing
dont even bother
I enjoy watching the enjoyment of others so this post fills me with pleasure
Why was Jon Hamm's nipples pierced?
hardest I ever laughed watching this show
S3 had mew breasts and ass (puta)
so at least that was watchable but s4 was not
the whole season was a lesson on how the blacks had it rough and how you're a part of the problem
did they calm down with the preachiness on s5 ?
its better than s4 but worse than 1-3
hard to definitely tell, it's only 3 episodes, but it seems like it has acceptable amount of preachiness for a [current year]
>mew breasts
you mean body double
That was really her ass in episode 1.
and she did show her breasts later in some flick, though there wasnt much to see
i came so it was real to me
This is a true MEW's ass. The buttocks depicted were shot in Canada in 2017. At the request of Riley, the name has been changed to PUTA. Out of respect for Ewan McGregor, the rest has been photographed exactly as it occurred.
The whole episode was a set-up that could've been done in 10 minutes. They really stretched it out so I'm guessing they don't have a whole lot to say. Gotta pad out their basic plot to 10 episodes somehow.
>Fargo thread lived overnight
Is it 2014?
>watch first episode
>wrench can talk now
Is this the moment the show jumped the shark?
>twoooo
>eyessss
i love the strange stilted way this guy speaks
>tfw no cheery psychopathic nurse gf to lethally poison me
I found her outrageously attractive and I can't figure out why
she's outrageously attractive
because she is
She's...perfect. Even picks out a Benelli and deagle at the gun store. My go-to Counter-Strike loadout. I want to breed with her.
Me too. It’s really fricking good.
Holy crap! They are continuing with this stupid crap?
