What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though Fargo's ambitious fourth season struggles to maintain momentum, fine performances and a change of scenery make for an engaging -- if uneven -- departure from the series' norm.

This gives you ample time to delve into the other seasons, should you have neglected to have done so... Go to Full Review

The first half of this opening episode was just tremendous, although I did feel the second drifted a bit. Go to Full Review

Given that Fargo has always stood out, it is strange that it seems to be settling for blending in. Go to Full Review

5/5
Showrunner Noah Hawley’s prevalent, anthology adaptation of the Coen’s original work started as a purposeful echo to the original, Oscar-winning picture, but has expanded into a sprawling love letter to the revered filmmakers’ tremendous career oeuvre Go to Full Review

Jack F 5d I've been binge watching the series and really enjoyed seasons one and two. Season three tailed off a little, but it was still pretty good. This year looks nothing like the earlier seasons and I barely made it through the first episode. Skipping to season five, which looks like the show is back on track, at least based on the popcorn meter. See more Mike K @Mike63 Jan 13 Yes, a lot going on, minus a couple of cute white women who need to be smarter than the men they serve. But, to ignore the brilliance of the script, direction, DEPTH, almost flawless editing, and the lessons given without any typical maudlin sloppiness, tells a tale of an audience sadly lacking. See it again, not for connection or simple entertainment, but with a more critical eye. Yes, entertainment is the goal, but sometimes there is a reason to appreciate the work. See more Fred R @TINSTAAFL Jan 3 Season four of Fargo is bloated unfocused and dull. Too many characters drain momentum while heavy handed dialogue replaces tension. Themes are explained not dramatized. Chris Rock feels miscast lacking menace. Humor misfires violence feels routine. What remains is prestige television without precision restraint or soul at any meaningful level. Season 4 lectures the public, while Season 1 to 3 trusted the public. See more Juice M @Juicemane Dec 25 Different but I enjoyed it, there are ofcourse still a couple of "fargo moments" ;) Never expected Chris Rock to play a serious role like this but he did great. See more Brad B Sep 14 This was just brilliant. This addictive mafia crime drama takes the audience to a new setting instead of the predictable New Jersey, New York, Chicago settings and story lines. It has twists at every corner with well developed characters in a story-line weaved in comedy, brutality and humour. The quotes in this 4th season are worth getting a pen and paper. The cinematography and music are a good marriage. The acting is so good that i have watched this season twice. Chris Rocks shocks with a performance that should have won him an Emmy and more accolades. All the actors/actresses deliver great performances. My favourites were Emyri Crutchfield (savant daughter), Jessie Buckley - 5 Stars , Jason Scwartzman, and Karen Aldridge as Zelmare Roulette. Now Zelmare Roulette has me convinced that I want to be an Outlaw. ☺️ See more Nikki D @Divainlaw Aug 30 This season is very enjoyable. Everyone is cast perfectly. From Chris Rock’s flat yet power affect, to Salvatore Esposito’s over-the-top mannerism, to Jessie Buckley‘s “Professor Umbridge like” delivery. Everyone seems to really have connected with their characters and put in the work to do them justice. If you love gangster movies/tv shows, then you will love this. The power struggle between the Black and Italian families, all while dancing that delicate waltz of following the “code” was conveyed beautifully. The cinematography is not something to sleep on either. The artistry of the director of photography is something to marvel in. Let’s not forget the costume design crew. They hit the nail on the head for each character, from head-to-toe. All around kudos to cast and crew alike. Well done. See more Read all reviews
