The Great Pandemic Viewing Stream seems to flow in a never ending current, kind of like the pandemic itself. For the latest binge, we turned to season three of Fargo. We had been big fans of the first two seasons, but this one slipped through the cracks as we were dealing with a two year old at the time it aired in 2017.
I'm not prepared to say this was the best season, but I'm prepared to say this was my favorite season. Ewen McGregor is brilliant in his dual role as brothers, and David Thewlis is spectacular as the shadowy villain. As with previous seasons, the show is incredibly cinematic and feels very much like a feature film. It also blends suspense, mystery, black comedy, and drama in a pitch perfect way, just like the film that inspired it.
If you're not caught up, don't worry. Each season of this show is set up as their own thing and are not directly connected, kind of like True Detective. If you missed this one, as I had, it's time to catch up. I'm now super excited for the upcoming season 4.
