This show is 100% gradschoolish in a bad way. Genuinely pretentious and hollow.

If only the writers for "Fargo" could follow the same guideline for their story.
> not accepting that fargo s2 is 10/10
> top kek
>>62676499
s1 was 10/10
s2 is 11/10
>>62676296
yeah i agree, lots of parts are REALLY cringey and try hard but it's still a good and enjoyable show
>>62677658
Season 1, yeah. Season 2: Find me better television.
Pro tip:
Thou cannae
>>62676686
this
>>62677658
>>62677756
I agree, I think S2 is way less memey
>>62676296
You literally know nothing of TV as an art form if you believe this.
People need to stop trying to be such contrarians and accept that this is better than whatever shitty show is your current favorite.
>>62677658
What parts have been cringey?
>>62678791
the characters, dialogue, and a lot of the filming techniques
it's just their attempt at trying to do their own brand of Coen brothers quirkiness
>>62678905
>it's bad because they are trying
>>62678905
they succeed in their attempt though
>>62678905
This. I tried to watch the first season and this season, and it just feels like someone imitating the movie and missing the point. They thought up some plot and then added a bunch of forced scandinavian minnesotan accents and weirdness to it and called it 'flavor'.
>>62678936
>>62678943
they try and fail tee bee H
>>62678957
>They thought up some plot
god i hate when shows do that. i hate when they think up plots

Pleb test: Did you two like Lorne Malvo?
I bet you watch the cw
>>62679031
the cw actually has good shows though
>>62679026
I enjoy Lorne Malvo as a performance and has a character in general, but his use in the plot was far too general and Mary Sue as a villian.IMHO, Lorne was a great part of S1
I love this board.
Shows like Fargo, True Detective, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Americans get trashed. Yet discussions about shitty sitcoms and reality tv shows go on with nary a peep of criticism. It's like you're all avatars of Armond White.
>>62678791
Not better than Ash vs Evil Dead. That's about it though
>>62676296
Okay, make a better show then. We'll wait.

Complaining about directors trying to make interesting shots instead of over the shoulder reversals
this season has got to have the most unlikeable set female character of any show ever. Turbodyke strong womyn hairdresser, fucking peggy and her seminar, hippy traitor daughter of dodd i fucking hate them all. only the cop's wife is a good sport and the big ma has some redeeming qualities.
What other shows would I like if I liked this? Was thinking either True Detective or Hannibal next.

I think they're trying to jump on the feminism is bad train with the hairdresser /
Peggy is going to get some sweet justice and learn the error of her ways/
Daughter is classic "My dad was mean to me so I'm commiting corporate espionage without really understanding the consequences"
Based cancerfu is just a nice lady
i think they're generally a little more thought out than most shows
>>62679256
maybe try "Les Revenants", french TV-Series. Saw it on german netflix, don't know if they show it in the US.
Pretty comfy show
>>62676296
If you take away the fact that the TV show completely rips off the entire style, themes, characters, and setting from Fargo the movie and the other films of the Coen Brothers, this show is still not about anything of substance at all. It's just senseless violence, coincidences, and people making dumb decisions, nothing more. I feel like I'm becoming more detached from reality when I see all the love it gets.
>>62680210
You're detached from what good television is.

Dodd's the biggest piece of shit so far but there's something particularly loathsome about the hairdresser and Dodd's daughter.
Peggy is awful but is also the season's best character. Noreen and Betsy are QT as fuck.
I expecting Ma Gerhardt to show a bit more cunning and yet she's been played by fucking Dodd
>>62680210
You're attempting to tell young adults that a show they like is bad because it uses it's premise as blank check for horridly obvious contrivance.
Also the only non-season-1 character that will survive is red chigurh, and he'll never be heard of again.
>>62680271
You're moms detached from what good television is.And attached to MUH DIYUCK

2nd season is almost as good as banshee season 1

Do people even consider the possibility that they can be wrong anymore? That what's popular isn't always good? Or that people can have genuine opinions with substance that oppose what's popular?
>>62680468
shit how have I not seen this???? is this official? is that an electric chair or a salon dome thing
>>62680882
>implying fargo is popular
>>62681109
>implying it's not
>>62680979
Salon chair
>>62680882
>That what's popular isn't always good?
Do people even consider the possiblity that we have different tastes....
Also thread is clearly bait from an edgy kid.
>>62681207
And yes it's official.
>>62680882
because muh taste.
>>62681191
>show gets like 1 million viewers an episode
>popular
Yep. Coens lite. What they think counts for their signature "quirk," without the actual talent or heart.
>>62676296
>All these buzz words
>nothing backed up, just meaningless waffle
>>62681339
a buzz word is a word that is used by marketers to promote their product. Immersive. Fun. Dynamic.
Something that is derisive cannot be a buzz word.
The way fargo shamelessly rips off the coens, you can't really say its pretentious.
But it definitely does have that type of "i liked x so my student film is in what I think that style would be while missing every finer point because I'll never have any actual talent or ability" film school crap.
>>62681391
You're right, but I'm looking more at these words that are constantly used; pretentious, hollow, boring and they've pretty much lost all meaning.
>>62681325
>Nielsen ratings mean anything
>Gets it dick sucked on every corner of the internet
>Not popular
>>62681439
>shamelessly rips off
The show is literally based on the same "universe" of the fargo movie. If the show strayed from that it would have no reason to be called Fargo.
>>62681517
Please remove your head from your asshole and reread what you wrote slowly
>>62681491
so now popular among critics means popular?
>>62681572
Ok I'm out never underestimate the level of stupidity of Fargo fans
>>62681550
>shamelessly rips off
>>62676296
I didnt like the woods shootout.
Guys with hunting rifles WITH SCOPES, attack from like 20m away and all get killed by guys with sawed off shotguns? Who the fuck taught these idiots tactics? fucking dumb.
>>62679026
which answer makes you pleb
i liked him
>>62681628
so let me get this straight. You think the movie "before midnight" is a popular movie? it has great ratings. But no one has ever heard of it.
I liked lorne malvo, but the blackmail shit was retarded. the only good thing was dennis's death by cop
>>62681739
But they're only grunts anon
>>62681517
... that's nice... you do realize season 2 is ripping off "no country for old men" for the plot, anton chigurh for the indian, and the most recent episode ripped off big dave's death scene from "the man who wasn't there," right?
I mean, you've actually watched the coen films, right?
>>62681903
Also "lol aliens" from man who wasn't there.
>>62676296
>>62676374
Kill yourself, pleb.
What do you think the aliens will look like anons
>>62682388
they'll never be shown, because they weren't shown in man who wasn't there.
>>62681903
have you even seen the show. I don't care if it's ripping off anyone. the show is easily the best show on tv.
You do realize everything has been done before right?
also the indian is nothing like chigurh
who /whateverfu/ here?
