Season one of Fargo was fucking great. I don't know why it took me so long to get around to it, I guess I assumed it couldn't stand on its own if it had to borrow the Fargo name. Glad I was wrong on that, is season 2 just as good or does it pull a True Detective?
First 6-7 episode are really good and then it jumps the shark, pandering to the more /reddit/ side of its audience.
Overall, a 5/10 experience which could have been a 9.

Both Fargo and true detective are ducking shit dude, fuck you.

I like season 2 more.
There are no characters that I fucking hate like I did in 1.
>>64096384
Season two is way better
I'm right with you OP, about to watch the last episode of season 1. I wasn't sure what to make of it when it came out, so put off watching it. I've watched it over the last week and I love it. The characters and casting are great, and it's odd sense of humor is enjoyable.Molly is cute! CUTE!
2 has aliens so it's basically fucking garbage
I like season 2 a little bit more despite the ayyys
last couple eps were a bit mediocre but it was still good, def not a true detective nosedive

Season 2 felt like more of a chore to get through than 1, and there's a lot of rewatchability in S1 thanks to Malvo that isn't really present in S2, but S2 is still great. The villains make it a great experience, but I guess the idea that there's more than 1 kinda water down the experience in comparison (for me at least).

Season 1 is great, but it's essentially a rehash of the movie with embellishments. Season 2 stands on its own. Also the season 2 soundtrack is fantastic
Fargo season one was near perfect
Fargo season 2 is 7.5/10 , ruined by the finale and direction it went.

Yeah that alien shit is dumb as hell. I'm just pretending it didn't happen
Two was fantastic. I still enjoy one more, but two didn't see a drop in quality at all.

>ruined by the finale
"finale" was ep.9.
ep.10. was an epilogue

>aliens
i believe thats how the "true" story was told, talking big, exaggarating things. Season one had it with the super manipulative supervillain Malvo, season 2 has it with aliens
Don't listen to these idiots. Season 2 is great. If not better than 1.
I stopped watching S2 after episode 3. It's fucking terrible and nothing like 1.
Billy Bob's face was extra punchable with the haircut he had for most of the series. I really don't like him but he was pretty good as a villain, even if Malvo got pretty ridiculous.
F1 = TD1 > F2 >>>>>>>>>>> TD2Actually, True Detective Season 2 isn't bad if it's considered as a postmodern analysis of noir tropes, but as a TV series entertainment-wise it was mostly piss poor.
