Critics Consensus

Based on the film of the same name in atmosphere, style and location only, Fargo presents more quirky characters and a new storyline that is expertly executed with dark humor and odd twists.

Geordie Gray The Australian The first season in particular is brilliant with Martin Freeman as the gutless Lester Nygaard who is bullied by everyone. Nov 6, 2023 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail What you expect is an homage to the story, and it isn't there. What you get is an homage to the tone and setting of the movie, and that's why Fargo works as fine TV. Jun 29, 2020 Full Review

Audience Member Billy Bob Thornton está impecável,assim como Martin Freeman,aqui no Brasil essa série é pouquíssimo conhecida uma trama extremamente bem desenvolvida com personagens cativantes e atuações incríveis,atores que realmente atuam levando tudo a sério. Lorne Malvo é o astro dessa temporada. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Brian D 85%. 12/7/24. This one is loosely similar to the book, but rather than the man's husband getting abducted for the paid kidnapping, he gets fed up with his wife and kills her, then calls Billy Bob Thorton to help get rid of her and it all escalates from there. Lester is a complete coward, he ends up remarrying and gets his second wife killed also. He eventually dies, falling through thin ice. Very entertaining and like the setting a lot. The blizzard episode was crazy. 4/5 rewatch Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review
