While that’s not strictly necessary, with this being an anthology series, it’s worth it. Go to Full Review Eric Deggans NPR Nov 26, 2019
By giving us a wide array of characters who's brutality and venality are covered with just the right amount of Minnesota nice, "Fargo" shows us all just how a modern TV anthology is supposed to work. Go to Full Review Melinda Houston Sydney Morning Herald Jun 14, 2017

Fargo 2.0 promises to be every bit as fun, surprising and thought-provoking as the original. Go to Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica Jul 27, 2021
If you're not going to show aliens, it takes more than a few lens flares to properly get the point across. This is where Fargo has truly excelled-it built an atmosphere where the possibility of paranormal to feels real. Go to Full Review Prahlad Srihari Firstpost Jul 24, 2020
Hawley's reinvention of the classic Coen brothers flick...feels like a terrifying new burlesque where endearing townsfolk and pitiful town fools, honest cops and underhand businessmen, petty criminals and unstoppable killers all clash like mice in a maze.

The second season has maintained the high bar of the first and the film. With memorable characters like those ordinary types caught in the spiral of violence. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Simon R @RT64486026 Aug 30, 2026 Brilliant cast. Very quirky. A true Coen classic. See more Oscar T @ScarfaceRampage Aug 18, 2026 Definitely not better than the first season, couldn’t stand that chicken lover yapping all the time See more Briana I. @Anaire Jun 19, 2026 Season 2 was not as good as the first season, partially due to casting but also the writing and dialogue was just not a witty. But nonetheless I still highly enjoyed it and was entertained so yes on to watching the next season can't wait. Also I will say for the casting they had a lot of actors and actresses I just never cared for so it wasn't biased I just wasn't that impressed with the acting believablilty and overall success from the writers, the first 5 episodes were kinda slow where as season one took off and didn't stop until the end. But I'd still recommend and it definitely deserves the high ratings. See more Tristan B @tristan3 Jun 17, 2026 [BOT] One of my all-time favorites. See more Karl N @RT02655090 Apr 1, 2026 Loved it. Such great characters. Everyone was fantastic. This is quality television. See more Jack F @RT39667463 Feb 23, 2026 I've been binge watching the series and enjoyed this season at least as much as season one. See more Read all reviews
