Sean T. Collins Decider 12/20/2017
God bless the silence, restraint, and deliberately painstaking pacing of crime shows like Better Call Saul and The Americans, but there's something cathartic about watching everything collapse as quickly as possible. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico New York Magazine/Vulture 05/18/2017
5/5
A fantastic, tense, and very dark episode of Fargo ends with the brutal beating of a major character, and the sense that the violence is far from over. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias New York Times 05/18/2017
Over three seasons, Fargo has proved itself as a viable and satisfying piece of fan fiction, and Noah Hawley and his team are now spinning yarns (and yarns within yarns) with an unpracticed dexterity. Go to Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth 08/29/2018
"The House of Special Purpose" marks the mid-way point of Fargo's third season, and in many ways feels like a transitory episode, nodding towards the potential dark ends down the road for many of these characters. Go to Full Review Courtney E. Smith Refinery29 10/03/2017
The episode closes...in the style of a Shakespearean drama that just yells 'a plague on all your houses.' Go to Full Review Zane Moses Baltimore Sun 05/22/2017
The overarching plot leaps forward in this episode. Unfortunately, because the show has taken such bold chances in storytelling techniques, this plot-heavy episode feels like a step backward. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
