Astromech Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Typical Fargo so far. I'm entertained but nothing is standing out as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I don’t think episode 2 was as good as the opening one. Spoiler I have to agree with the part about the cartoony characters in the review Zorral posted. I was excited to finally see Salvatore Esposito this episode, but his tough guy demeanor and wide-eyed expressions whenever he got angry just seemed too over-the-top and silly for my taste. Hopefully they don’t have him ham it up like that the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I had forgot Gennie from Gomorrah was going to be in it. He's a convincing menace, I had forgot how physically imposing he can be. A perfect screen mobster. He looks like he channels Luca Brasi at times.

Nictarion Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Finally got around to watching the first couple episodes. Liking it a lot. Much more than S3 so far. But old school gangster stuff is right up my alley. Great cast. I really like Mayor Royce’s character. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out where I knew the actress that plays the nurse from, turns out it’s Chernobyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Buckley has recently played major roles in at least two movies I saw, Misbehaviour and I'm Thinking of Ending Things. And I genuinely didn't recognize Olyphant.

RumHam Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Enjoying this so far. Reminds me a lot of season two which I decided to re-watch in between episodes of the current season. Fun little connection: the Fargo guy Loy sold the guns to at cost presumably used those guns to kill Otto Gerdhart's father, only to be killed in turn by a young Dodd Gerdhart at a movie theater about a year after this season takes place. I probably don't need to point out that Satchel almost certainly grows up to be Mike Milligian. Loy and his men must get pretty much wiped out, though the 1979 KC mafia doesn't seem particularly Italian either (in the universe of the show.) So I'm guessing nobody really wins this war and some other less ethnically homogenous, more corporate entity steps in to fill the void. Took me forever to realize Odis was Jack Huston. In my defense I'm not used to seeing him with his whole face. That guy has no luck with world wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He honestly looks like a completely different person on Fargo, though like you said, I'm not exactly use to seeing him with a whole face either, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CityApache Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Same here. Few years has passed since Boardwalk, but man, he looks different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 He played Robert Kennedy in The Irishman, so I’ve at least seen him since Boardwalk. I actually did recognize him right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifth Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yea, this episode pretty much confirmed this season is a Mike Milligan origin story. I know it was strongly hinted at already, but now I'm fully convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 After re-watching season two I hope they bring back the adult Milligan if they do another season. Season two ends with Hanzee/Moses Trippoli swearing revenge on the KC mob, who had won control of the Dakotas. By the time of season one he's taken back at least North Dakota. So they could do a story set during the 80's covering Trippoli's war with KC that could involve Milligain. But then they'd have to recast Hanzee with someone who looked like a younger version of Trippoli, I guess. Edit: Forgot to mention that Brad Garret's character Joe Bulo from season two showed up this latest episode to reinforce the Faddas. So Mike Milligan ends up working for someone who (presumably) participated in the downfall of his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt really bad for Dumini in this one. You just knew as soon as he decided to put the gun away he was done for. Great scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really did love Mike's character in season 2. He's the only character who's personally was similar to Lorne Malvo's, however unlike Malvo he never seemed to get any real results done. It made for a fun story arc, when he just randomly seemed to come out on top at the end of season 2, when all of his enemies basically killed themselves thanks to a combination Hanzee's betrayal and police incompetence. The scene where Mike shows up immediately after the Sioux Falls Massacre, just looks around and see's all of his enemies dead and just gets back in his car and drives away, still remains one of my favorite scenes.

sifth Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Wait, I thought Hanzee/Moses Trippoli doesn't swear vengeance on Kansas City, but just chooses to build an empire of his own. He played a rather big role destroying the Gerhardt's himself, so I'm not sure why he'd try to avenge them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
