After one movie and five seasons of television, it sometimes seems easier than ever to define what fargo It's like a franchise. Even if putting it into words is very difficult. With each new installment, the FX anthology series keeps the brand alive in new and inventive ways, but what's always constant is that there are killers and victims and people in between: people who make bad decisions out of fear or shame. , and they pay the price. There's also usually someone who represents the light side (in the proud tradition of Marge Gunderson, that person is usually a member of law enforcement), and there's always a wolf lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce.
Since creator Noah Hawley started the offbeat spinoff series, the concept of fargo has come to encompass many other random elements: beyond the numerous Coen Brothers film references that are dropped in, there are UFOs, random vignettes set in East Germany, puppet shows, Nightmare Before Christmas needle drops, competitive bridge, fake classic movies, real classic movie stars (played by actors), magic, and a fairly frequent appearance by seemingly immortal men.
Yet beyond all the strangeness contained in each season, there are stunning portraits of humanity at its worst as well as its best, and each season serves as a morality play with its own peculiar sense of justice. But the more time you spend looking at the snow, the more sense it all makes.

A note: to quote another Coen brothers film, it is not the preferred nomenclature to refer to fargo quotas as “seasons”. (Even the hat I received during a fargo The scheduled visit is embroidered with “Year 3”). However, throughout this article I chose to use “seasons” in addition to “odds” and “years.” Because although each delivery is classified individually, fargo (unlike some anthology series) it really feels like an interconnected whole.
