The first 3-4 episodes are a solid 10. The amount of humour, malice, original Fargo, is off the charts. Billy Bob is out of this world. The best laugh I had in years.

And then it transitions to a moralising bore. And then, it continues in that direction, worse and worse. By the end of the first season I was just waiting for it to end, in order say "Fargo? Yeah, I have seen season one." and call it the day.

Granted, it would have been difficult to continue with the malice from the beginning. But the downfall was too abrupt. I cannot see myself investing time in another season. One without Billy Bob, which was responsible for 80% of the goodness in the first one.

No. Thanks.

7 stars because 10 for the first three episodes and then 4 for the rest, well, you do the math.

I mean..., first season was absolute perfection. I have never seen such a fantastic dark-detective show! It went down some in the second season, although having Colin Farrell (see, one who actually evolved, from really bad - S. W. A. T. and Alexander - to really really good - In Bruges, The Gentlemen, Banshees of Inisherin, so it is possible) saves a lot, a little further down in the third, but man (pun intended) how much it went down in the fourth! Abolutely unbelievable! Why, oh, why, did you not stop at three? Ah, you needed to make a woman-only show. Well. Copy that. I just wish you picked another name, so True Detective remained true (pun... intended?).

This woman can change mud into wine, really (like I said, unless it's an action movie, she's not Jesus, after all). I don't know if that's a good thing, but I have almost missed the plot altogether just observing the terrific monster of an actor that she is. Al Pacino could barely keep up, really.

Yes, it's an ancient tragedy and this not really appealing for today's standards. TV-theatre is difficult in itself, I would say. But it's more an acting exercise, take it as it is. Some people here have even complaint about the modern clothing. Come on, people... Just observe the best actress this century has produced and be glad you are alive at the same time.
