    Re: Fargo (Season 3)

    Anyone watch the first two episodes of Season 4 last night?

    I DVR'd them (hate commercials). Watched episode 1. I'm not sure what to think... But there are some funny lines. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

      Saw ep. 1. At first I was concerned about the direction it was taking, then it seemed at times like a drawn out music video, then the plot twists came in.

      Honestly, after seeing how the offspring exchange "worked" the first time, I didn't get the whole continuing with that tradition (and/or if that is a fictional account, which I assume it is).

      I stand corrected about Rock. He was pretty serviceable jumping into the drama arena.

        this show was under my radar. Just caught the 1st 3 episodes of Season 1. This show is a wild ride ain't it? Damn good so far.

          Chris Rock is ill-suited for this role. There is no way this will be a dramatic coming out party for him. He doesn't have the acting chops or gravitas to pull this role off in a convincing way.

          .

          Rock is in such a key role that could have been capably handled by several competent actors including any of the main unknown players on The Wire. There are still some things to like (The brother feud, the precocious girl, and the nurse) so I'll still watch and try some creative "Rock-filtering" along the way.

            Season 4 will have to do a lot to de-throne season 1 as my favorite. Billy Bob was in top form for this one. It's such a shame to see his acting chops go to waste in seasons 2 and 3 of Goliath (on Amazon) for how good season 1 was there as well.

              First thing I thought of myself. Finished Season 1 last night. I assume a whole new cast of characters going forward with different stories kinda like what they did with Bosch?

                They are largely different story lines. Just have to watch. In season 2, for me, there was only 1 really strange part that knocked it down a notch below season 1, but some liked it. You'll know it when you see it. The main adversary in season 3 imo was the best acted part.

                  The actress (are we allowed to say actress any longer?) is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. I said the same as you, then looked her up on IMDB. 10 Cloverfield Lane ..... of course! Just couldn't place her.

                    Halfway through Season 3 now and it is a grind watching this compared to the first couple of seasons. 1 was great 2 very good this one I don't know. I have gone this far I will finish watching the season but it is not up to the first couple by any stretch.

                      Yeah he was the only one. Shocked to see him on the prison bus. Finished season 3 would have been nice to see Burgle finish off that sob in the basement in the last scene.
