Having scrolled through the comments and read the review I can clearly state that people that watched this episode fall into 1 of 2 camps:

I didn't really get this from the review at all. I assume everyone here likes this show, including and especially the reviewer and wants it to be good and are simply disappointed that this season hasn't struck their fancy like the first two. I loved the first two seasons, I have been critical of this one but I still…

I was watching the clock too toward the end. After the penis cup scene I almost turned it off to watch the DVR the next day. Unfortunately this made me hyper critical as I waited for my fortitude to be rewarded or at least to have my frustration somewhat alleviated. Not a good episode, not a good season so far.

I like your take, mustache twirling villain indeed. One of the best parts of this show has been how they reveal pieces of characters motivations and history over time. We get none of that and it is becoming harder and harder to believe any of this shit. I have never found Varga or his goons to be compelling,…

I thought that the camera holding on Sy's face as the violence unfolded and the gears of his mind were spun was fantastic. In fact I thought it was the high point of the episode and some really great acting. A common technique for making violence even more unsettling is to not show it but it requires solid reactions…

I'm fully aware of the Coens involvement and I am a huge fan of Noah Hawley. I agree he has done a masterful job with this series and I am not meaning to say this entire show is a forced facsimile of Fargo the film or other Coen brothers elements. I am specifically pointing to 2 character elements that for me, a fan…

Oh no doubt. But this is a forced facsimile of that MO. Marge's detachment was reaction to more plausible events like when a casual encounter with an old high school flame turns into having to handhold a blubbering creep. Or when Jerry Lundegaard gets testy and defensive in their initial interview. As you said, she…

I cannot help but get the feeling the writers are adding character quirks for the sake of quintessential Fargo quirkiness and not much else. Gloria's electronic invisibility is silly to me and so far has only served a slight comical distraction when convenient and otherwise has been ignored which would be impossible…

When Trump does literally anything two things are guaranteed:
1. There is a tweet from Trump circa 2015 admonishing the very thing he is doing
2. There is a Simpsons clip to help us all with perspective

I went on a first date to CTHD and true to the first line of this piece my date fell asleep…which worked out well because I got to enjoy it with the freedom of being alone at a movie and without the self imposed stigma of being alone at a movie.

Well said and I suppose we'll have to see if what was explored in this episode comes to bear fruit later in the season. I have little doubt it will tie into the climax in a satisfying way. However, I cannot shake the lingering feeling that this episode could have at least touched on the other characters as they have…

I have been perplexed by the reviews this week at AV club. I thought both Better Call Saul and Fargo had down weeks and yet these were the highest graded episodes of the season so far. I felt like this episode was an attempt to cast a wider net on the story to expose details and tendencies of the characters (mainly…

Frank's "old man shuffling" is THE MOVE! Come on!

I actually thought this was a strong episode. Mac's reaction during the stripping was hilarious. Yes, the ending was a bit strange but they probably realized it and made it as short as possible. Mac's dream within a dream was great.

"Ass Kickers United" was very disappointing. I think the best episode to get going with would be "The Gang dances their asses off". It has everything, Dennis being a detached sexual malcontent, Mac's amazing karate dance moves, the waitress, rickety cricket, Charlie's dance routine.
