Ambi stole my opening line. This was probably the show I was most looking forward to coming back this year I watched the first season when it first came out so every few weeks I got to wondering when it would be back, which is remarkable given that I am so sick of cop shows. Theres so many of them that theyre probably my least favourite genre of scripted television, especially when they dont have to be set as a cop show but Ive ranted about that recently elsewhere so Ill move on to the show.
Given True Detectives huge letdown of a second season, I was mildly aware that the same could happen with Fargo starting a new plot but I wasnt too concerned since I have faith in the Coen Brothers. The first season was fantastic and I would say better than the movie. This seasons quality I would say is on par with the first but Id still say the first season is my favourite based on how wrapped up I was in the plot, though I wont make my decision until its finished. I love this storyline being based on what was really just a vague throwaway line from last year and the most recent episode is among my favourites. Ive always liked Nick Offerman but that may just be his finest scene in anything hes ever done.
I think Ive put my finger on what tips the first season in my preference, which is the chemistry between Thorton and Freeman and how they played off each other. The actors this season are fantastic but I cant think of any two that have that special brand of friction. "Lester, have you been a bad boy?" And I guess that was a more unique villain-relationship than the sort of turf war thats going on this year thats been done before, though not nearly as effortlessly and naturally as Fargo.
Fargo is by far my favourite cop show, probably ever I loved Dexter but it had a lot of faults and this doesnt have any yet, and is one of my favourite shows on at the moment.
