Agree that much of this season is an allegory. Only take issue with the McDonnell/Maddow link. McDonnell is at least somewhat of a villain while Maddow is definitely on the good side.

Makes me think of Mueller-fighting the good fight.
I like your optimism—a lot.
The question of who's going to walk through that door is left open, reflecting a world that makes little sense now. In past Fargo seasons, it was clearer which worldview won out, and it was that of decency over criminality. This season, we see uncertainty and the possibility that, with enough money, evil or wrong…
Yes—you are so right about this. The concepts of Camus's "Myth of Sisyphus" are at the heart of this season's Fargo. It is one of all-time favorites, but might not be that familiar to some.
My sister-in-law was fitted with some kind of dental device for her migraines, presumably to stop clenching at night. But that didn't work and she's now trying dietary changes. And I wasn't on any drugs for all those years I would get them. The best thing that worked for me was a cold, dark room to sleep in and…
I increased my intake of dirty martinis. I like them with vodka myself. LOL—just kidding (but I do like them and Gimlets). Seriously, I did nothing. At the time I'd been reading that they thought it was hormonal, so I just assumed my hormones changed or something. Latest research is that it's more neurological…
And you know what's even more perplexing? Why Gloria thinks that Emmit is guilty of murder, even after hearing Emmit's description of what happened. It really was an odd occurrence, that shard of glass landing where it did. But it was an accidental death. Hope your migraine is gone. I used to get them for years,…
I agree with you that revenge is her first priority, but am not sure why she thinks Varga is directly responsible for Ray's death. All he did was attempt a cover-up. Did I miss something?
Well sorry, but as far as People are concerned, he LOST by 3 Million votes.
What does Nikki want from Varga? Lots of money. Wrench is helping her. What does Wrench want from helping her? Some of that money!
Damn—Don't you think that Nikki has promised to share some of the money she'll get from Varga with Wrench, since he's helping her?
Yes—exactly. His character and narrative are designed to be villainous in a rather disgusting, conniving, confusing way in order to intimidate people. And by all the negative responses here, he's definitely succeeding! And I'm enjoying his performance. Bravo Thewlis!
First, we're seeing a pattern where Nikki and Wrench are not killing unless they absolutely must. This resonates with what occurred in the bowling alley and what was stated about him being on a better path and also the kindness shown by a stranger, a divine presence, Ray Wise, to both of them.
I cried too—a lot. So many touching, poignant, insightful and scary moments…and so much depth. Turturro and that sweet cat were my favorites, but there were great characters/performances all aroud. Think this was the best mini-series I've seen and I can never forget it.
OMG—do you remember the very last scene in The Night Of? Roberta Flack's, The First Time, is playing and the cat walks slowly across the floor. After all the misery, this heartwarming scene as the ending was pure gold. Best final scene ever!
Agreed! But since S1 of Mr. Robot was so good, I'm willing to sample S3 and see where it goes. Seems like some series are destined for 1 season of greatness and then quickly lose steam. And then, some are so perfect, like the HBO mini-series, The Night Of, that you'd hate to see anything in the future take away…
You are right about this. I think you see this misspelling because it's in several reviews and, I've also seen it spelled Yuria in the captions, which I occasionally turn on.
Okay, Sy is dumb, but not THAT dumb. He's emotional and gets flustered easily. The situation with the cars was his out-of-control anger and frustration over his meeting with Ray. With Varga, he gets confused and frustrated and then, like most of us in a confused/flustered state, he doesn't think too clearly. Pat…
Sy isn't quite that dumb, but he has always seemed intimidated enough by Varga that it might explain the outrageous stupidity demonstrated in his tea drinking.
