"FX's anthology returns with its own True Detective season 2."
woof
Good to hear. Reviews seem mixed, and even many of the pull-quotes on RT are negative despite getting a "tomato:"
Fargo: Season 4 | Rotten Tomatoes
In this anthology series inspired by the 1996 film, each season follows a mostly new cast of characters who get involved with murder investigations in different Midwestern towns, with seemingly unrelated crimes sometimes being connected in some way.

TBF that seems to be the outlier review right now. Overall 65 on MC with 8 reviews.
Remove Darren's and the show is at 75 mc.
Which to all be clear would make it the lowest ranked season, but at least not a True Detective season 2 type of decline.
Sucks because this actually seemed like the most interesting story concept so far.
Oh yeah, wasn't actually trying to make it seem worse than it might be with that review. My GF reads EW and she sent me the link. Had no idea other reviews were even out until I started checking after my post. It does indeed seem to be the worst-reviewed season so far, though does anyone know how many episodes critics have actually screened?
Sepinwell said he saw 9 of the 11, so I guess it is worth keeping in mind most critics were not given the full thing. So I guess if it really sticks the landing(or screws it up) it wont be reflected in these reviews.
Still, somewhat disappointing.
It's kinda wild to see how much the consensus on Hawley has changed over the last two years. I think Lucy in the Sky might've been the breaking point where a lot of people (of the few who actually saw it lol) just decided "Oh, ok, this guy's full of shit"
I still haven't seen it, been sitting on my DVR for ages, but that does seem to be the case doesn't it? I do think Legion sort of pulled it out in the end too, but barely.
Going in with low expectations then. Forgot this was even a thing.
Really wonder if I'll be able to take Rock seriously.

My concern is the characters; there are too many, despite the ambitiousness. The consensus among the reviewers is how one of the characters, who is placed at the center, gradually gets edged out as the season progresses.
"Not available in your country"
I love it when they make you work to see their ads. Joke's on them, I wasn't gonna watch it anyway (the trailer, I'm definitely watching the show).

I mean, season 1 isn't particularly good. But if it's the review I think, they hated it for the weirdest reasons.
I'm in simply because I love the time period and Olyphant of course. It's going to have to be baaaaad for me to bail on those two things
We've had a ton of comedians do great serious dramatic work. I'm not that worried myself especially considering everyone else involved with the show.
I'm assuming Mayflower is supposed to be the Varga of this season?
Edit:
Did anyone else notice the pan from the Smutney house to Oreatta's apartment, that there was a guy standing in the middle of the street. I think that was an error of sorts.

I assumed that was one of the cops that busted down the door at the end of the second episode.

Liking it a lot so far. Most of the reviews seem positive but not necessarily glowing. A lot of em are kinda complaining they keep kind of doing the same formula. Ok?
not sure about those low reviews from the first 30 minutes.....seems at least good.
was a bit confused about the neck wound but i think i figured it out

"Go fuck a State Park."
I loved this top to bottom. Usually when there are this many characters and plot threads I tend to favor some over others and, unfortunately, end up disliking some to a certain degree but for the first time I actually like all the disparate parts pretty much equally(okay, Jessie Buckley as Nurse Mayflower stands surpreme). The fact that I'm not groaning when dealing with the teenage character who is at a remove from everything is the highest of praise.
And it is nice to see the return of Fargo's love of amazing names:
I mean I doubt anything will ever top the majesty of Nikki Swango but it good for there to be some competition.

I absolutely adore the first two seasons and I've tried to watch S3 like...4 times already. Don't know why, just can't get into it.
While definitely not my favorite season, I feel like it came together nicely by the end.
I can see why some would be turned off by this season, at least from what I've seen so far. There are a ton of characters with more being introduced every half hour and many of them get pushed to the background after their initial entrance. It doesn't bother me as everyone seems pretty interesting and there is a lot left up in the air as to how they're going to interact with one another and what they're going to add to the story but not a lot has "happened" so far. Its a lot of set up but I love it myself.
I like how they had a flute variant for the beginning starting with the Jewish gang.
Really enjoyed the first two episodes. The comparison to the second season of true detective is definitely kind of puzzling, to say the least.
It's the weakest season of the three completed ones, but the ending is excellent, for what it's worth. I'm glad I watched it.
Just finished the first 2 episodes, good start so far.
Having your city be the setting for a TV show is a weird feeling, this is what people who live in LA/NYC must feel like all the time
Can already tell Orietta is going to provide a lot of fukkery this season.They seem to be setting her up to be a wildcard among the war between the 2 mob families, along with Ethelrida who is smart beyond her years and continues to be kinda nosy .
Did not expect to see
