It's the rare prestige TV episode that might've been even better if it had run even longer. Go to Full Review Kevin P. Sullivan Entertainment Weekly 05/04/2017

All of the pieces are here for a season of Fargo, but there's no heart. The show still looks like our friend, but there's no life in its eyes. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club 05/04/2017

This is maybe my favorite episode of the show to date. Go to Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth 08/29/2018
This is easily the most distinctly singular episode from any of its three seasons so far, entirely ditching the Stussys' shenanigans for a one-off bottle episode following Gloria's investigation of her step-father's death. Go to Full Review Courtney E. Smith Refinery29 10/03/2017
It's also a parable about a life well lived, which is how Gloria seems to take it when she returns to Minnesota and her real life. The mysterious box, however, comes with her. Go to Full Review Gary Shannon The Young Folks 05/08/2017
9/10
Fiction becomes a running motif in "The Law of Non-Contradiction," both as an honest reflection of reality and an alluring mirage. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
