I honestly think the second season of Fargo might be the best season of anything that I've ever seen.
The symbolism. The deeper meaning of all things in general. The characters, the acting, the writing. The technical work: The directing, the screenplay, the soundtrack, the ambience work.
Every thing is absolutely top notch.
>>62973316
I agree completely senpai. It's criminally underwatched, too.
Agreed. The last three episodes have been overwhelmingly perfect.
>>62973316
They definitely step it up. I wasn't expecting it to be this good tbqfhwyf
>>62973316
I only watch for the aliens desu
season 1 sucks and 2 is even worse.
but okay, keep talking about your shitty little autist series.

>>62973316
The shootout with the brothers killing 50 guys while just standing in the open with a bunch of guys missing from feet away while continuously jumping in front of their fucking shotguns was fucking terrible
>>62973316
"’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back."
>>62973316
After the leaked ep I don't exactly have high hopes for the ending. It's getting s1 tier silly.

>>62973502
It's a fool's errand. People can't objectively analyze something that they've latched onto as something they've liked or called the best thing ever. When their praise is reinforced, like with Fargo and Leftovers, they dig into these pieces of shit even harder. 99% of people are incapable of admitting that they are wrong and wasted their time, it's why you have people in Walking Dead threads questioning why they haven't dropped the show yet.

>>62973867

Cool build up assholes.
I'm really hyped for next episdoe though. S2 ended up being great when S1 was to me a "meh" show that's kinda fun at best.

Why would I waste my time? Nothing that I can say would change your mind. There are a million things I could point to from the first season and the first episode of this season (I tried but I couldn't continue watching this pseudo-intellectual bullshit).
>>62974088
Is this your final retardation level?
Explain to me how films can't have a deeper meaning or a constructed ambience
>>62974122
Name one intellectual series.
>>62974122
>wasting time anyway
>>62974128
How about you explain to me how those terms have any substance at all and aren't just bullshit poorly worded and mispelled intellectual posturing before you start having me go off on a completely unrelated tangent about how films can't have a deeper meaning. Keep calling people retards though while completely missing the point, that seems to be working out for you and is in line with Fargo fans.
>>62974256
I'm just venting I know there is no point in crafting a well reasoned argument
>>62973316
I highly doubt this.
It tried watching a few episodes of Season 1 and was blown away by how crass and boring it all was. It felt like it was trying way, way too hard.
You're probably wrong, and you're probably as dull as a lamp-post IRL.
>>62974300
Because you can't
>>62974270
It's things like this: In the last episode (before the one that got leaked), the qt at the Butcher's shop explains The Myth of Sisyphus. That's not something deep in itself, or special in regards to films and TV. But with the writing and the directing, he episode manages to reflect the meaning of The Myth will all its characters: The ending of the episode is with the Indian walking onto the road from the woods, realizing that the Butcher and the cops are miles ahead of him, but still deciding to take on the road by foot. It's an endless thing on his part, in itself worthless. But he does it anyway, without flinching. In my opinion it's just how automatically he decides on his next move, in that particular sequence, coupled with the music that starts playing in an almost "ironic" fashion (considering it is jolly), it adds a sense of nihilism.
You very rarely see such work in TV series - everything is usually so concrete. Fargo is nuanced in an intellectual, emotional sense.
>>62974364
OP here: Where was I talking about season 1 again, I don't remember.
"This thing you're not even talking about is boring shit and you're probably boring IRL"
Literally >wat
>>62974512
You are kidding yourself if you think that having a character reading and explaining the Myth of Sisyphus and then making allusions to it in the show is nuanced in any sense. It's surface level pretension that is congratulating itself for making a literary reference. This show in a nutshell.
>>62974681
What's a good TV series to you?
I'm curious.
>>62973842
I'm a massive pleb, would you mind giving me a quick rundown? Are the gerhardts the jabberwock? Is the vorpal sword a machine gun? Is he using his knowledge of classicAL literature as a black man to show off his status?
>>62974724
The Apprentice and Sex and the City
>>62974681
>show tries to do anything that has the slightest bit of thought put into it
>it's pretentious
You sound like you might find keeping up with the kardashians to be more in line with your tastes
>>62974724
There's only one show worth watching on the air at the momentThe Knick. Television is in a terrible state right now, which is why this show and Leftovers have to be propped up
>>62974681
Not even OP but the Coens bring a kind of nuance to the table that I haven't found elsewhere from any modern director: Their trademark is witty, jolly comedy coupled with dark, tensious drama.
You're not going to get any deeper insight into a character than you will through a book, where you can shape and create as much as you want, and even put down the characters' thoughts, but you can still do a lot through scenarios alone.
You'd do well to watch more TV and film if you think the medium is devoid of anything metaphysical.
>>62974122
holy shit you are a tard. please go.
>>62974816
At least the Kardashians never had Kim read Plato's Allegory of the Cave and then explain it slowly and then have her worldview change at the end of the episode and have everyone call it deep or thoughtful.
>>62973316
This.
It's the best single season of anything in history of television.
I kinda like Sopranosand X-Filesmore as a whole shows, but there hasn't been any season of anything even coming close to Fargo S2.

I'm not. Nolan is nothing like the Coens. Nolan is grandiose.
>>62973467
Glad I dropped this shit last week. It had one phenomenal episode, with the snow storm, but for the most part it's just competently directed trash going for the easiest shocks possible but never actually saying anything or creating drama that's any deeper than a daytime soap opera. At a certain point it stops being shocking, Stop being shocked. Get some taste.
I am an authentic /tv/ poster. I am here every day to discuss cinema and television. I take the medium seriously. I'm not just some tourists who comes here to discuss their flavor of the month meme shows without any regard for the board. It's like you're turning up to some club and shitting the place up and then getting mad that people are telling you to fuck off to where you belong instead of trying to make the club accommodate your juvenile sensibilities.
Stop talking like some fucking /v/ redditor, neo-poster. Instead of trying to make /tv/ more like reddit why not just go post on reddit? No authentic /tv/ posters want you here, crossposter.

Agreed. Just watched episode 7 and its right up there with the best stuff the show ever did.
Noah should be on everyone's short list right now because the production values of this show are off the fucking chart. This is like Mad Men without the bullshit.

It was an obvious analogy for what was about to happen and you don't really understand it until the next episode.
Mountain Dew addicted Xbone playing adhd crackheads such as yourself who can't function without instant gratification would never understand it.

The man is carrying the fucking greatness.
>>62979667
>contradicting yourself this hard
he literally didnt think of the fact that his sons a minor first offender and that busting him out would make him a fugitive but hes smart enough to know its true
>>62974122
I feel like people like you are so miserable because no one in the real world notices you. They don't even hate you. You just don't exist to them. So you come on websites like this under the protection of anonymity and say the most deliberately contrarian thing you can because you know that someone will finally notice you. It worked. We have all acknowledged your existence. We value you. You are a person. Now please go fucking kill yourself so we don't to listen to this childish bullshit.
You can not name a single show better than this.
anyone got a link to the end credits song?

>Jules was the first black hit man
What's it like being born after the year 2000?
Last one doesn't even apply because the two people he's killed this season died within a second of seeing him.
I just fail to see the point of it all. They pack alll sorts of semi interesting stuff in there, and it all sort of Chekov Gun's later, but the whole gist of the story just seems meh
>>62979764

Fargo sweep confirmed
>>62980040
Verbose dark comedies about criminals aren't for everyone.
I don't know how a person couldn't love the set pieces, music, and cinematography. All the actors fit perfectly in the universe too, except Kirsten Dunst. She is really trying hard while everyone else is natural.
>>62980058
>a nig, 2 women, and a white nigger win
Welcome to the new age.
Where can I stream this show at a decent resolution? Torrents not an option
>>62973950
Kind of the point, subverting the "we will send in a bigger badder villain in the final act of the movie" meme.
Thanks for reminding me that Fargo is on tonight, now I have something to do before I cry myself to sleep again.
S01 might be the most comfy season of any show I ever saw. The pacing, the humor, the ambience, cinematography, the actors were all perfect.
I like s02, but the plotlines/characters all feel a little more disjointed compared to s01. It's still pretty good and especially the acting is superb.
>>62980117
here is a reply f a m
>>62980117
>a white nigger
What?
>>62980117
What do you think of their acting?
>>62974122
"this show is bad" is a totally worthless, nobody cares what you think unless you are able to develop that opinion further, and since you aren't, don't post at all.
>>62980081
>I don't know how a person couldn't love the set pieces, music, and cinematography.
How does all that preclude a verbose dark comedy about criminals having a tight and coherent story?
>>62980058
I'd be surprised if it didn't sweep. It's in the miniseries category, right? How could it lose?
Little behind, someone post the leaked spoilers episode info
>>62980353
What competition does it have?
Show Me A Hero has been completely dwarfed by this season. Pizza isn't getting a fucking thing either
>>62980117
Of course two women will win when there are two fucking categories for women
season 2 > season 1
>>62980470
I've been enjoying Fargo too, anon, but Show Me a Hero is in another league entirely
>>62973316
Didn't like the Fargo movie so I never bothered with this show.
Feels like another "True Detective" show people endlessly praise when it's really nothing special.
mm how did bear know simone fucked mike?
So danson didnt check peggys house? wtf?
How does edd know mikes phone number?
Who's the new guy with bear?
What's the aftermath of the gerhardt raid mike did? Did they only kill Otto and some henchman?

What the fuck just happened at the end of episode 7 with the drawings and symbols all over the wall
>>62980994
Hank's office. No idea what it's all about. We probably won't find out until episode 9, since episode 8 is going to be Dodd/Peggy/Ed/Hanzee focused.

>>62980600
He's actually proven himself as quite the actor.
When he "looked down the barrel" it was 10/10 imo. I really sympathized with him.
>>62980295
No but really they're all great. Bokeem is a nigger but that line in the typewriter store when he first meets the cop and says "No that's not it. You're quite unfriendly actually. But its the way you're unfriendly. You're just so polite about it."----and then he gets the fucking most evil look and tone and goes "like you're doing me a favor."
It's a pretty cold delivery
