Season One was great. It instantly became one of my favourite TV shows. And that's still the best season for sure, in my books.

Season Two is also quite good, but got a little too weird what with the 'visitors' and a couple of other things.

The last one wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything memorable or anything to write home about. It's too bad, because it had a good cast yet again.
Yeah, that's pretty much the size of it. Nothing wrong with Season 3, just nothing amazing either.
None of its lived up season 1 and Billybob Thornton's performance.

Season 3 is bad, and not just by comparison to the amazing first two seasons. It's just bad. They even managed to waste the talents of Carrie Coon.

I didn't really know who Kristen Bell was aside from Frozen, but she's a great lead, funny as hell. Chidi and Michael are incredible too.

It's kinda rare that I like all the lead characters, since it's the main reason I couldn't endure HIMYM, everyone except Barney felt like huge assholes and jackasses, starting from the main character.
It's funny, because I dislike all the main characters in that show, but I still love the show. The writing is too strong. Can't stand the four mains, though. Love Ted Danson.

Don't believe the hate. Season 3 is great and, in my opinion, captured the quirkiness of the movie the best.

But season 2 is the best. Mike Mulligan is one of my favorite TV characters ever.

Season 3 is pretty damn great, I actually like it more than the first two. Don't listen to the people who tell you to stop at this or that season, watch the whole thing.

S3 kicks off too late imo.
S1 was incredible and easily one of my favourite seasons(or show, since it's an anthology) ever.
Don't think anything in S2&3 came close.

Huh.

People hated season 3? I thought it was great and just recently watched it myself.

Not the best of them, but still great. I loved the odd moments especially the
animated short story robot thing

But yeah, season one and two are amazing.

Season 2 is one of the best single seasons of any TV show ever. The cast was amazing.

I didn't like season 3 as much. It was still good, but any show would have a tough time following Fargo's second season.

I just watched all of season 3 in a week and thought it was great. That cast and set of characters could carry any show though, they were so good. Definitely preferred season 3 over season 1. Anyone calling it trash is being incredibly hyperbolic and should probably have their opinions ignored when it comes to TV.

I need to rewatch the first two seasons and finally get around to watching season 3, but yeh it's up there with the GOATs, I think. Noah Hawley is a brilliant mind.

Season 1 and 2 are some of the best TV you can see. Only topped by The Wire in my opinion.

Season 3 doesn't live up to the first two, but I still very much enjoyed it.

I was Late To The Party as well and binged Seasons 1 and 2 last month.

Loved them.

Geanted Season 1 was more suspenful and felt closer to the movie.
I loved Kristen Dunst's character in Season 2, lol she was great

Maybe its because I work in the IT space, but some of the stuff that happens in Mr Robot was to cringe-worthy for me to hold on longer than a few eps.

All 3 seasons are good. Yes, 1 is better than 2 and 2 is better than 3, but even season 3 is better than the majority of TV drama on offer.

Didn't know season 3 was so hated. I thought it was great, really loved the weirdness of it, especially the British dude.

I enjoyed S3 - it's definitely not as insane as S2 but it has more higher-concept stuff going on, making the viewer question the stories Fargo itself tells.

I think you'll dig it. It's still Fargo, with its impeccable editing and lovable characters (Sy Feltz is maybe my favorite character of the whole series thus far).

Whaaaa, season 3 is fantastic, takes a little bit to get going but once it does it's great. I liked it better than season 1.

Season 2 > Season 3 >>>>>> Season 1

Anyone who tells you the ending of Season 3 is bad cannot be trusted.

Also Legion sucks don't watch it.


One of my favorite shows of the 2010s.

Season 3 isn't as good as the other seasons, but still very enjoyable. Ewan McGregor's acting is on point, Prof. Lupin is an amazing villain.

Recently binged the whole show. Good stuff.

I liked all three seasons about the same to be honest.

I liked S2 alot besides the shitty ending, S3 was also great, but had some pacing problems. S3 is still leagues ahead of most other TV, people saying its "shit" or "bad" are just fans of hyperboles

I'm on the last episode of the second season right now and I absolutely cannot fucking wait to see where they go with season 3. the first one was amazing.. this second season is next level with the soundtrack and the performances.

bbt in that first season tho.

is this the best show on TV? shit
Season 2 is so fucking good.

Season 3 is also excellent, but there's just no way to top 2.

I thought season 1 was, overall, the best. Season 2 was even stronger for the most part, but shit the bed hard at the end which is hard to overlook. Season 3 was ok, but ultimately felt like less than the sum of its parts, even though some of those parts (David Thewlis and Ewan's dual performance) were really fucking good.

First and second seasons were incredible. I couldn't ever get into season 3 though, it just didn't do anything for me. That being said, s3 is still better than a lot of stuff on tv so it's worth a watch. Legion is still my favorite thing Hawley has done though.

I started watching Fargo last week and already finished S1 - One of the GOAT TV show seasons of all time, for sure! Having already watched the movie, I think S1 is more similar to early Twin Peaks than the Fargo movie itself, specially in regards to quality and intrigue. I have just finished the 2nd episode of S2 and it's also amazing. Not Matt Damon and Kirsten Dunst have great chemistry together, and the midnight deli scene was so so so tense, it was incredible. I have really high hopes for this season!

I've only seen the first season but it was spectacular. Maybe I should start the second now since it's cold and snowing outside.

S3 is still very good, even though it's the least of the three.

It has Carrie Coon in it, so that should be enough for you to see it.

I've got Season 3 sitting on my shelf and have been looking forward to watching it when I get some free time. don't do this to me, era

Also 2's probably my favorite season of television ever. Jesus it was so good. Tying in themes of Camus' absurdism with midwestern paranoia was wonderful.

Eh, I loved/really liked the first two seasons but got really bored in season 3 and stopped watching halfway through the season.

The second season was surprisingly fantastic. First one was pretty good but the second one reaches Sopranos levels of excellent at times.

Everyone says S3 isn't good but even hearing that going in I really enjoyed it a lot. It is different than the first two but I enjoyed it. It has a bit of a Lynchian/Twin Peaks vibe in parts which doesn't fit all that well but we get Ray Wise as a result of that so it's all good.
