lol how does he have this job? Fucking idiotic
I'm watching this now and think it's great so far.

Cannon + Fadda = Cannon fodder
First 2 seasons of Fargo were some of the finest series i have seen in a long time. S3 fell of a huge cliff after that. After the dramatic quallity drop in S3 i was already pretty much done with wanting more Fargo then i read some of the early previews of S4 which solidified that yep i will not be inflicting another quallity drop of this once supprisingly great show onto myself.
i dont know what all the bad takes are about so far - i thought the first two episodes were fantastic. the little bit of the second episode my partner caught (theyd never seen it and didnt think they had any interest in watching, so i started myself) led us to binging Season 2 for the rest of that day. we'll probably tackle Season One tomorrow.
There's a lot of characters and plotlines, but I'm loving it so far!
There has always been something supernatural in all of the seasons so far.
Perhaps a ghost?

True, but most of the supernatural stuff takes place front and center. You never see the UFO in the background of season 2.
I'm of the opinion that when Covid hit and halted production, FX should have released the first two episodes early to generate hype for the wait later in the year.

The only reference is one of the characters having a Minnesota accent. I think this will tie into the series.
It takes place in Kansas City, MO, which is made abundantly clear in the first episode. And Fargo has never taken place primarily in Fargo.
You see the lights from it multiple times during the season.
Not a bad start, will keep watching. I kind of hate that nurse already but maybe that's the point
i dont know why but the way jason schwartzman delivered the "i want to slowly pump babies into you daughter" line had me howling
I absolutely love him as a short italian "heavy." He's got just the right bit of menace with goofiness. Really working for me so far.
I'm not Italian and I can tell how fake it is, particularly his mannerisms when speaking, but yeah the affected speech still kinda works because of how the show plays things up anyway.
that's definitely the point. she's racist, a thief, a murderer, and a bully. and at the end of episode 2 you see that
left a pie full of ipecac for the smutney family.
that was my partner's idea! i watched them in order when they aired, and when describing the show to them idly while i was watching S4, they suggested watching but wanted to start with S2. i know when to pick my battles lol.
Damn I need to pay more attention while watching TV lol, completely missed that part. Now I hate her even more.
I liked the 2 episodes, but they seem less Fargo-ish? If that even make sense.
Usually we have an inciting incident being birthed by the wrong actions of some common man, while the shadier underground world is in the back, here it feels like it sort of switched. Also, who is the typical insane but charismatic agent of chaos character that Lorne/Native guy/British guy were in past seasons?
The italian actors trying to speak English are not better either, it's a tall task to ask me to listen to both for an entire season lol

Strong start, Jessie Buckley and Salvatore Esposito are incredible.
FWIW, Schwartzman is Italian-American: he's Talia Shire's son (and Francis Ford Coppola's nephew.)

Loving the first 2 episodes so far. I think Fargo is one of the smartest and best-written shows on tv right now but I'm also a sucker for big dumb speeches and so far this season is hitting my speech quotoa. I love the nurse (in the sense she is clearly terrible) and she is clearly off her rocker. Whatever her "special project" is I am sure it is all kinds of fucked up.
I saw some guy in a suit standing still while faced directly at the camera during quick pans in both episodes.
Dude same lmao. I got weirdly hyped hearing Leawood and MIssion Hills get referenced in episode 1.
Definitely a great start. Didn't even recognize the weasley cop as Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire. Excited to see where it goes.
He looks old - I remember when everyone thought he was going to be the next big thing
I thought it was another great one, makes me really question the lukewarm reaction this season has gotten.
The only issue that I could understand people having is that there isn't a strong central thread that the rest of the story hangs on but rather all of the plotlines are just going along there merry way. I have no problem with this style but people looking for a "lead" character to latch onto might. Outside of that, it is just excellent.
And almost-certainly-a-spoiler:
I can't believe it took me this long to realize that Loy's traded son is going to be Mike Milligan.
Yeah, that was most likely going to occur, when you look at Milligan's promo photos
Spoiler: Loy would be killed in the same way that Emmitt did in season 3
I'm surprised that not that many users contributed to the conversation live last night. I guess after two episodes, some are already writing it off?
And Nurse Mayflower continues to be creepy.
Wasn't a lack of interest on my part, it's just that Sundays are packed with new TV right now. I don't tend to watch much live, but last night I had:
The Fox animated comedies (The Simpsons, Bless the Harts, Bob's Burgers, Family Guy)
Lovecraft Country
The Vow
The COVID-delayed finale of The Walking Dead
Primal
Tigtone x2
and Fargo.
I hope to get to Fargo at some point, but heck, even Monday is stacked now...

I mean the Kansas City connection should've been enough really but you add the fact that the character taking him under his wing is named Rabbi Milligan and I'm pretty sure the show has deliberately avoided saying his first name. All signs point to the legend.

Yep, I think you're right!
