Fargo: Season 1 Reviews
The first season in particular is brilliant with Martin Freeman as the gutless Lester Nygaard who is bullied by everyone.
Full Review | Nov 6, 2023
Thematically, existentialism is brought up again and again.
Full Review | Jul 27, 2021
What you expect is an homage to the story, and it isn't there. What you get is an homage to the tone and setting of the movie, and that's why Fargo works as fine TV.
Full Review | Jun 29, 2020
Noah Hawley's adaptation converts the drollery of the Coen brothers film into a mood much more noirish and grotesque...
Full Review | May 9, 2020
Fargo is an attempt to adapt the sensibilities and quirks of its movie counterpart, while creating some sort of fresh dramatic tension that makes the show worth watching.
Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Feb 19, 2020
The cast is simply excellent. Who knew that Peter Stormare's assassin could be outdone by Billy Bob Thornton? He steals every scene he's in during the first season.
Full Review | Nov 16, 2018
The cast is uniformly terrific, so strong and smartly assembled that praising every actor worthy of praise could turn this review into a long laundry list of greatness.
Full Review | Oct 17, 2018
This was a brilliant opening episode that hit the ground at a sprint, and the next nine episodes have instantly become mandatory viewing.
Full Review | Jul 23, 2018
Utterly unpredictable and left me pondering it for hours afterwards.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 19, 2018
Thorton's Malvo is especially unique, a powerful anarchic force that blows through the sleepy Minnesota landscape, disrupting everything he touches.
Full Review | Jul 2, 2018
Let it all boil and stay in on Sundays for the next two months. It'll be worth it. Treat yourself to a little bit of Minnesota nice.
Full Review | Dec 19, 2017
It may start like Coens fan-fiction, but Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley quickly proves he has moves of his own.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2017
It's a perfect joy, and it's a good while since I set my digibox thing to "record whole series", but this promises phenomenally much.
Full Review | Apr 28, 2014
The show may (inevitably) lack the somber beauty of the Coens' meticulous compositions, but it nonetheless makes for good-looking, borderline-cinematic television.
The new Fargo... seemed to be brimming with characters and stories all its own.
Full Review | Apr 21, 2014
What could have been a disaster, enraging Fargo aficionados, is a respectful homage, and should quench a thirst they had half forgotten they have.
Neither prequel, sequel or remake, this Fargo is instead a tonal accompaniment, a little more than kin, a little less than kind and a whole new breed of television.
Full Review | Apr 17, 2014
This new Fargo is a worthy companion piece to the film.
A whole new constellation of characters is set against this familiar backdrop, playing out new tales of sordid activity in Bemidji, Minn., where the Minnesota nice is often punctured by bursts of violence and pain.
It's easy to lose yourself as I did in this world of endless snow, hopelessly flat lands, coffee shops, down jackets, small town facades, brutality, blood, drugs and slaughter.
