Fargo — Season 3

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Thanks in part to a memorable dual performance from Ewan McGregor, Fargo mostly maintains the sly wit and off-kilter sensibility it displayed in its first two seasons.

It’s murder and mild manners in Minnesota. Go to Full Review Andrew Billen The Times (UK) 12/28/2017
4/5
Fargo's creator, Noah Hawley, took us on many diversions this season: into the past, into the woods, into action movie territory. Yet it was the comedy of character we will remember. Go to Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer 08/15/2017
Season 3 seemed like it had finally, decisively broken from its predecessors on both TV and in film - particularly when Mary Elizabeth Winstead's scammer emerged as the season's complicated, gray-area-dwelling hero. Go to Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio 06/23/2022
8/10
The "how" is above the "what" in Fargo. Season 3 is the closest the timeline has been to us, yet it complies perfectly around the feelings of discomfort and unrest the show is known for. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica 07/28/2021
Fargo eschewed being a straight sequel or adaptation and instead opted to create a world that shared the original's ethos and sensibilities (occasionally adding some connective overlap, too). Go to Full Review Preston Barta Fresh Fiction 03/30/2019

Beeno M @BeenoMendocino Apr 13 Quite a cleverly written story. Loved the absurd elements. See more Karl N @RT02655090 Apr 1 Great writing, great characters, excellent acting. Loved it. See more Jack F @RT39667463 Feb 23 Not on the level of the first two seasons, but still pretty good. If you liked one and two, you'll probably enjoy this. See more Mark H @RT46527143 Sep 7 Not quite as good as the first two seasons, but still very good. My only complaint would be that I thought there were too graphic scenes of eating and vomitting. Could have used a lighter touch at times - think Hitchock instead of Tarantino. See more Frank I @RT91077274 Aug 12 Excellent script, great actors and suspense. I was glued to the TV. See more grain j @RT65328220 Aug 9 Performances are good, although not as good as the first 2 seasons this season still is worth the watch. Some characters don't really have much depth to them that they should have See more Read all reviews
