This season just fell flat. Most everyone here in the comments enjoyed the production, I mean there is nothing like HBO production dollars. But it swung for themes far better fleshed with the Matrix series or any number of cerebral dystopian films reaching back to the 70s

Thats what happens when you throw a Spanfeller in the works.

Congratulations AVClub. You have successfully transitioned to being Forbes! 

Where’s guy who provides a link to this list in list form instead of 56 click-through pages

Was I overreading, or did Gus briefly pause to inspect whether the team cleaned the fryers well enough?  This writing... inspirational.

Legally, a person cannot be compelled to testify against his or her spouse. Therefore Kim is proposing marriage because she is all in, in spite of everything.

I am floored.

are we going to get this type of snarky comments every fucking week?

Complete with an older French guy as villain in part 2!

This was the most competent ripoff of The Matrix in 21 years.

BOOOO to the Benioff and Weiss cameo. I appreciate that HBO decided they weren’t notable enough to be recognizable without a dragon.

I am enjoying the season so far. Much disbelief to suspend, of course, but it is an interesting story, and the Saul-Carrie scenes in this episode were top notch.

Maybe it’s me, but I always understood Howard. For a guy put in the positions he was put in, his choices made sense to me. If anything I tended to feel bad that he got caught in the middle of drama he just didn’t know the full story about. There’s something about him that feels coded to ‘villain’, but he’s the guy…

But nowhere in the show did we see the creature touch her or even get close enough

Sorry-not-sorry for writing so much, but let me preface my opinion with this, because it’s relevant to how I approach watching these productions: I’m pretty busy and pick my shows pretty carefully to invest my time in, since watching them and following them on this site is my guilty diversion from my work. Other folks…

This was the first time I saw the connection between Gene flipping out in his lonely living room with the police scanner and Chuck & his anxiety problems. Were there hints before? Nothing good comes of McGill brothers trapped and alone.

I remember the first time I heard that FX were doing a Fargo series and I went into it without expecting much. It’s now probably one of my favourite tv shows and I think that Season 2 is probably one of the finest seasons of television ever produced.

Can’t tell if this is a show-related joke or something (haven’t watched yet) but North Dakota is kinda mad at you now.

I honestly thought the Varga character was the best part of season 3. I hate to say it but it was Ewan McGregor that felt unconvincing (esp the accent), and the show’s wildly veering tone episode to episode.

I both love and hate that we don't know which version of the future comes true.
