This. His first wife had it coming. His brother's fate is debatable, but he was kind of a c**t so I guess he had it coming. But using his asian wife as bait was the point of no redemption
>His brother's fate is debatable
Is it though? His brother did literally nothing except be more successful than him. If the brother had been shown to be a serial cheater that's looked upon as the most honest man in town then him being framed as the wife's lover to ruin his marriage would at least make some karmic sense, as it is there's nothing except Lester's seethe and him being the only opportunity he had to frame someone.
I hate to break it to you but it is in fact not debatable if it's okay for you to frame your brother for murder just because you're seething at his success.
i think the reason she gives her "cute little" speech to him at the end is double ended, if you listen to it close.
Obviously he's a piece of shit, sure fine, and he was planning to kill her as soon as he picks up the coat in his basement earlier in the day.
But her speech about "loving him" if you listen to it is actually a speech about how she was poor and she was waiting for a rich man to take her away from it all.
She doesn't see Lester as a true love, she sees him as a cash grab, the same as his old wife would've. Just he happened to be rich now. She never made a move on him when he was weak.
Does that justify it? not really, she's just a regular piece of shit not a bad one, but they give him an impetus for viewing her as disposable which i find interesting when they could've made her perfect and blameless.
>She never made a move on him when he was weak.
He was married and she made her move not long after his c**t wife was killed. He was still working for Bo Munk and had just had ex-stripper yelling about them fricking. I think she decided ‘now or never’.
You’re not wrong about her speech but I don’t think that was the only reason she waited.
>She never made a move on him when he was weak.
She clearly liked him when they were coworkers, though. She just didn't make a move because he was married and then recently widowed due to murder. Did you seriously not notice how she acted with him?
yeah ok im stretching a bit but im trying to say that would be "Lester's mindset" about her.
Clearly she didnt deserve to get fricking domed for being a tiny bit of a golddigger. But i just found it interesting they gave the possibility of that side at all. on rewatch it added a nice added bit of depth.
Its clear Lester is having a tiny bit of an attack of conscience as to using her as bait, and if you watch his face during that speech you can see all the selfish shit going through his head to seal the deal.
It was well written! I liked it.
>She never made a move on him when he was weak.

NTA but the moment she finally made a move on Lester is just after some prostitute accused him of tricking her into letting him screw her and then figuratively screwing her over her insurance money. Lester tells her to frick off and then Asian girl approaches him. I'm sorry but this isn't the sweet innocent Asian waifu you imagined. Not that she deserved to die mind you, that was fricked.
you guys read way too much into it, she's literally just a tool by the writers to show lester's progression and degeneration. i also don't see how the golddigger angle makes sense at all
Stand up for yourself or else you'll be trampled by the world. But when doing so, do it carefully and intelligently or else you'll be trampled by the world.
>should I watch the other seasons?
Season 2 is full of ‘you go, girl’ moments and teachable lessons about muh racism. Be warned that is doesn’t really have any of the dark humor of S1.
Haven’t bothered tbh. I’ve heard the last season was full girlboss mode and after seeing the rot creeping in during S2 I’m reluctant to devote much more of my life to the show.
>Season 2 is full of ‘you go, girl’ moments and teachable lessons about muh racism
no it's not, moron. the feminist character is insane and ruins multiple people's lives, including her own husband's
>Three times I’ve sent men to do a job and three times they failed >I’m done laying down for men (all while betraying her family to the jogger she’s fricking) >Dodd claiming multiple times that women can’t be leaders then getting BTFO by Peggy
There are probably a few more examples I could dredge up if I could be bothered to prove you even more wrong.
>"is this what you want, lester?" >"yes" >William-Robert does what he does >lester doesn't help him and now we follow them being buddy-psychos for the last two episodes
Wasted potential.
I still don’t have the faintest idea why he felt like annoying BBT in the elevator.
Or the better question is why BBT didn’t fricking play along for 30 seconds to diffuse the situation rather than immediately kill the guy he was trailing considering the time and trouble he went through to have a cover story as a dentist.
Fargo just overall felt like a film school student had just watched the original and No Country and was like “woah badass hit man!”
What I didn't get it is why didn't Malvo just kill his target sooner? It seemed liked he killed him pretty easily in the elevator.
Also $100,000 seems really low for 6 months of work, I mean he's an assassin who cleared out a building full of criminal mobsters with ease. Seems like $100,000 and 6 months of work is a bit of a low price for such a dangerous professional killer
Are you moronic, his target was the brother of elevator guy who was in hiding under a secret id, he brings up 6 months cause he had to be the gays friend for 6 months before he could get close enough to meet the brother
And clearly it’s not about the money it’s the hunt with malvo
>What I didn't get it is why didn't Malvo just kill his target sooner?
Maybe you should have paid attention to the show you're watching. Did you think them talking about the brother in witness protection was just some conversational fluff with no meaning?

Because new, confident Lester couldn't handle being snubbed by Malvo, because his whole new identity was based around being someone who doesn't get pushed around anymore
>watch latest season >guy in kilt shows up >"lol this season's randumb UFO/Bowling Alley/Ghost addition to the story is just a guy in a kilt" >mfw he did turn out to be just that, complete with saving the MC
how can you be this fricking formulaic while trying to insert random supernatural shit to make your story less polished and thus more realistic

I couldn't even make it though the first episode of S2, guess my instincts were right
By season 3 the only characters with some virtue are israelites, gays, women and PoC. Season 4 has a guy nicknamed Rabbi betray his Italian crime family for some black. It just never ends.
he killed his cute asian waifu, he deserved everything after that
Yeah, I remember that being my turning point.
This. His first wife had it coming. His brother's fate is debatable, but he was kind of a c**t so I guess he had it coming. But using his asian wife as bait was the point of no redemption

Congrats, that's the definition of debatable
I hate to break it to you but it is in fact not debatable if it's okay for you to frame your brother for murder just because you're seething at his success.
I disagree. He was a shitty older brother.
See, now we're having a debate
>I think it's debatable whether the sun is hot or not, because I'm ready to say it's cold
That's not how it works, moron.
We're having a debate. Debates don't usually regress to petty insults.

I think she genuinely was into him because she trusted him implicitly, not that it got her anywhere.
>She never made a move on him when he was weak.

unironically who hurt you

So what's the inner message of the first season? Also should I watch the other seasons?

>masculinity is le bad also something, something luck and fate or whatever

What about season 3?
Haven’t bothered tbh. I’ve heard the last season was full girlboss mode and after seeing the rot creeping in during S2 I’m reluctant to devote much more of my life to the show.

Yes, watch the others except season 4
Why is this season so memed on?
I meant why is this scene so memed on?
Because it's stupid.
Why?
>"is this what you want, lester?"
>"yes"
>William-Robert does what he does
>lester doesn't help him and now we follow them being buddy-psychos for the last two episodes
Wasted potential.
Honestly I was expecting it to go that way too. It would've been so kino.
I still don’t have the faintest idea why he felt like annoying BBT in the elevator.

You can hire a couple crackheads off the street for a hundred bucks. Professional killers are not multimillionaires. 100,000 is extremely well paid.

I didn't hear that part.
No mercy for you. Never post again.
But what about posting with my frens?
>still don’t have the faintest idea why he felt like annoying BBT in the elevator.
Because new, confident Lester couldn't handle being snubbed by Malvo, because his whole new identity was based around being someone who doesn't get pushed around anymore
Why does he always pick self deprecating roles?
it's a television show, not sports
>incels are le bad
>nooooo you can’t let your soulless Asian bugwife die
The only thing he did wrong was panic about seeing Malvo and go big dog on him.
>b-b-but I gotta root for somebody!!!
what kind of autism is this?
I never said I have to root for someone. Why does that make you people angry? I rooted for him because he's relatable
>watch latest season

By season 3 the only characters with some virtue are israelites, gays, women and PoC. Season 4 has a guy nicknamed Rabbi betray his Italian crime family for some black. It just never ends.
I just remembered this show existed, and that I watched it. Could've fooled me. What a forgettable show.
he was a cringe little rat ngl
You kind of are but your're also supposed to be uneasy about his character's actions as he does worse and worse things. That's nuance.
