You expect Fargo to be dark, funny and quirky. But, darn it, if it doesn’t pull at the heartstrings, too.

It might be even better--yes, even better, if exceeding perfection is possible--than the first.

Yeah, this is the season that I remember as being peak Fargo. The combination of a larger-than-life plot, strong acting and fantastic editing really bring the story to life in a really enjoyable way. I appreciated the decision to make the vast majority of the characters less knowingly stupid than in S1 and I feel this decision actually elevated the season in a way that I really like. I enjoy when character's make decisions that really fit their profile (I hope that makes sense) and S2 has this in spades. Very enjoyable.

This is hands down one of the best seasons of television. Changing the setting to the 70s adds a whole new flair to the show with new production designs and theming.

In sum, Fargo is smart, thrilling, imaginative television, in addition to being (as I would probably have described it in 1979) wicked funny. If there’s a better show this season--or possibly this year--I’ll be happily surprised.

Season two is one of the better TV dramas of an already excellent year, and that series creator Noah Hawley, his filmmaking team, and his cast have perfected what was already a promising spinoff of the Coen Brothers’ 1996 classic.

The Emmy-winning first season of Fargo, the limited series that was inspired by the Coen brothers film of the same name was a triumph on multiple levels as one of the most creative and evocative works on TV in 2014. The second season proves that was no fluke.... It's all here--writing, acting, directing, music--combining to make a very riveting and entertaining dark comedy spectacle.

The second season of FX’s Emmy-winning limited series has a new cast and mystery, and it promises to be even more fun and weirder than the first.

Hawley’s writing is vivid, sardonic, smart, and brilliantly deadpan, in keeping with the tone of the original “Fargo” movie. His characterizations are deft, nicely nuanced and compelling, offering more than enough for the actors to work with. Danson feels a little out of place, but he may grow into his role. Culkin, Garrett, Smart, Plemons, Dunst and Donovan are outstanding.

Season 2 of Fargo is the best show of 2015 and I don’t think anything else comes close.

a primeira temporada de Fargo tinha ótimos personagens e um fascinante enredo. Enquanto a segunda temporada, a série conseguiu superar a sua incrível season1. Sem sombra de dúvidas, você fica preso na série e acaba percebendo que embora a segunda temporada seja ambientada em uma outra época em comparação com a primeira temporada, isso não fez Fargo perder a sua essência. A série ficou mais sangrenta,dramática e chocante.

After just good first season I didn't expect much more from second something. But the second season is one of the best seasons of soap operas which I in general ever watched. In many respects it was helped by change of time. The plot is much deeper and more interesting, than in the first season. The only thing that has disappointed - it is the fastened subject UFO. Well I haven't come it and end of history of the **** any crumpled too at all. Excellent cast. I advise all, communications with the movie and the first season are minimum.

Schwierig ein Fazit zu dieser Staffel zu ziehen. Übermässig brutal und viel Gewalt. Verschachtelte Story von zwei rivalisierenden Gangs. Viele ungeklärte Details. Trotzem catcht einem die Staffel. Auch wegen den vielen Haupt- und Nebencharakteren.

Definitely worse than the first season, without a doubt. There's still some good acting. But the writing, UFOs, odd camera work, and excessive number of murders takes away from all the good that's there.
