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

Compared to the kinetic energy of the previous season, series creator Noah Hawley simplifies his narrative this round, but the intrigue still remains. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mark H 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 Aug 12 Excellent script, great actors and suspense. I was glued to the TV. See more grain j 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 Daniel J Apr 25 I liked it as much as season 2, maybe even a wee bit more. Great acting and theme exploration that transcends the individuals. It's existential, political, and allegorical. It defies ready-made interpretations, and by making the audience work through what is happening and why, we work through our own understanding of good, evil, life, and society . A great season! See more Frans B @FransB Apr 9 Still marching on to it's own off - beat pace. Still intriguing and very funny peculiar. Season 3 is something else with a new air to it. Still very entertaining and the twists and turns seem to multiply. Great series See more Konrad K Mar 10 Season 3 is the worst of all the seasons. That small Chinese guy and the East European guy that think they’re hard spoils the season for me. See more Read all reviews
