Shaun Munro reviews the season finale of Fargo season 3… The riveting and occasionally frustrating capper to Fargo‘s divisive third season broached its overarching theme of perception vs. reality (or perhaps more currently, “fake news”) in perfectly ambiguous, Coens-esque fashion, even if in many aspects “Somebody to Love” was a relatively predictable, foregone conclusion to the Stussy […]

Shaun Munro reviews the ninth episode of Fargo season 3… Fargo’s third season nears its close with a riveting penultimate episode which, while less energetic than some might expect for the lead-in to a season finale, nevertheless carefully arranged the various chess pieces for one Hell of a send-off. Kicking things off, Meemo murders a man named Marvin […]

Shaun Munro reviews the eighth episode of Fargo season 3… This week’s episode of Fargo was easily the darkest, weirdest and most suspenseful of the entire season, and despite the general consensus on season three being a decline in quality from the first two, this was certainly one of the strongest episodes in the entire show’s […]

Shaun Munro reviews the seventh episode of Fargo season 3… As Fargo’s third season enters its final stretch, it hit the ground running following Ray’s shocking demise last week, with Nikki promptly being arrested and Varga’s presumed frame-up attempt working perfectly.

From the outset, Ray means business when it comes to avenging Yuri and Meemo’s brutal assault of Nikki, […]

That’s not to say episode five wasn’t totally hilarious too, […]

Shaun Munro reviews the fourth episode of Fargo season 3… Fargo returns to business-as-usual after last week’s entertaining sojourn to Los Angeles, and things finally start coming together as Gloria is drawn towards the Stussys, while Emmit begins to feel the pinch from Varga and his lofty ambitions. “The Narrow Escape Problem” opens with a cameo-of-sorts from […]

Shaun Munro reviews the second episode of Fargo season 3… If Fargo‘s season premiere left a prevailing feeling of deja vu, the follow-up moves a little further away from the familiar, even if the key beats are still distinctly Fargo, and this is very much the lethargic second episode the show has essentially made its signature […]
